[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 583241, member: 9064"] Has anyone ever heard the expression not to judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes? NOBODY on this forum has ever walked 2 steps in an NFL coach's shoes. Until you do so, any criticism of what a coach should be doing is from a position of ignorance. Memory research has shown that the average male brain is only capable of tracking 2 or 3 simultaneously occurring events at a time (for females, the number is 3-5). Even if a coach is exceptional in that regard and is capable of tracking 4 or 5 event, he still has to consider: 1)what the next play should be, 2) substitutions, 3) what play will he call if the current play is successful, 4) what is the other team expecting you to do? 5) time remaining, 6) timeouts remaining, 7) etc... Once in a while, optimal clock management is going to fall to the wayside. Nobody is perfect in this regard, including Lombardi, Shula, or any other great coach. For each time you point your finger and scream, "WHY DIDN'T HE CALL A TIMEOUT!" consider the last time YOU forgot about something. [/QUOTE]
