By rule, they're not supposed to be on the field at all, except during timeouts. Up to three coaches are allowed to be in the 6-foot restricted area (ie: "the white") during dead-ball periods, but they're supposed to retreat behind that area when the ball is live to give the wing officials room to run up and down the sideline.

My crew usually will allow a coach to go a step or two out onto the field during dead-ball periods, as long as they're coaching their players and not causing a distraction for our wing officials. (it's the whole "don't make it my problem, and it won't be my problem" philosophy).
