The late great college basketball coach John Wooden once said there was too much overcoaching in the modern game of basketball. That is exactly how I feel about present day NFL. Far too many NFL head coaches and coordinators want to be seen as geniuses on TV and radio. Its sickening to see the stunts these guys pull every Sunday.
Its really hard getting a W against any opponent on any given day, what’s really harder is losing but only because you out-think yourself. Without getting too much into details, more and more games are being lost because coaches try too hard to outsmart their counter parts. The biggest case in point well, was the last play of the Super bowl earlier this year. When you have the ball at opponents 1yardline and all you have to do is get in to win, with one of the best running back in your back field. You run it, right ? That is conventional wisdom and something the coaches are getting away from.
Anybody remember the Dallas- NY Giants game couple of weeks back? Whatever happens to keeping it simple? I am so convince the dolphins lost to the Jaguars partly because of the timeout debacle. Please don’t get me started on Philbin. Chuck pagano ?? WTF!!!!!!!!!! Wait, wait there's more. I watched a little bit of the Bills-Bengals' game and I saw Mario freaking Williams dropping into coverage. Are you serious? Jimmy Graham pass blocking ? Sammy Watkins as a decoy...and so forth.
I miss the days when QBs ran the show, like Dan Marino running the two- minutes drill. What a thing of beauty. Today QBs look to the sideline for what to do next, or looking down at their wrists for “the script.” Players need to be playing, not thinking. It was absolutely pathetic watching the Dolphins defense for four games prior to Sunday's game. Games are practically being run as tightly as combine drills. Far too many coaches trying to justify their jobs.
MEMO TO COACHES DON'T COACH YOURSEVES OUT OF A JOB! KEEP IT SIMPLE, SILLY!!!
