FU is making a call at first (comming from behind the mound) and his angle gets cut off by a second baseman comming into his view. He calls the runner out. The PU(me) is standing at home looking straight down the line to first observes the first basemans foot is off the bag by at least 3 feet! I'm not kidding, for real, 3 full feet. THe field umpire from his angle saw the timing right on, and the throw did beat the runner so he called him out. He has no idea the firstbaseman was no where near. Coaches start to complain and the first base coach looks at me, knowing I very CLEARLY saw the pulled foot.
Do I blow it off and simply say "not my call coach" or go change the call?

None of you business unless your partner asks for help. Then again, how in the world does your partner not notice F3 , 3 feet off the bag. We have to be talking a younger level game here with an inexperienced official. Were you the senior official? Then you have to be delicate how this is handled. There are just to many factors, Level, age ,etc, that a straight answer can be made here.For the most part, if your partner does not ask for help, take the out and move on.
