I don't think it'll be too difficult. I can certainly see where problems may arise (as Forksref pointed out, how can we grant the coach a timeout if we're watching the field.)

If coaches take the effort to get our attention in between plays and hopefully not when a snap is imminent, it shouldn't cause any problems. But we all know, nothing is ever for sure in football, anything can happen.

I officiate an adult football league in the Spring and they allow the head coach to call a timeout and I've never had any problems. I certainly wouldn't grant it sight unseen, I'd definitely make sure to have the eye contact they talk about.....
