Most of these guys are brilliant football minds. They have been in the game most of their lives and are great at motivating and teaching players the game and scheming up gameplans. But when it comes to game management and game theory these guys are no better than a teenager playing XBox. Very few seem to manage the clock well. Their timeout management is terrible. Their challenge management is even worse. Why challenge something like a spot of the ball or whether or not a guy stepped out of bounds on 2nd down a little earlier early on in the half when something much more consequential could come up later? Green Bay got burned by this in Minnesota a few weeks ago. Guys like Les Miles and Andy Reid call timeouts to set up calling more time outs. There are some exceptions but it sure seems the vast majority of them stink at game management.

not bright people overall, cant think quickly on their feet.Comment -
It baffles me, some of the stuff certain coaches do. Throwing the challenge flag on an automatic review comes to mind...
Another thing that has always bothered me is icing the kicker. Does this ever work? Look how it worked out for Carroll.Comment -
I wouldn't call a football coach a brilliant mind. Most of them have no college education.Comment -
Can you name one NFL head coach with no college education?Originally posted by pavyracerComment -
maybe they arent' really good at the other things as well. Alot of times the players make them look good. Most of these coaches are too old school taught by old school.Comment -
Lets be honest....they walk away with an "education"...but some of those degrees like International Relations, Undeclared Major, Cinema Appreciation, etc. aren't exactly brain splitters. A small percentage of the players who walk away with their degrees will actually put them to good use, or even remember what they took during their time in college.Originally posted by slacker00Comment -
Graduating with a degree in General Studies while playing football is not considered college education.Originally posted by slacker00Comment -
