McDaniel the worst coach ever at time management? Terrible end if first half then wastes 2 timeouts

Mike Martz is probably the worst of all time. The Rams had to hire somebody who's only job was to watch the clock for him.
He just needs to commit to his offense. When the going gets tough and we think too much, we make too many errors.
Every time we stall it’s because we try to do something uncharacteristic for this group.
Tight end still a massive weakness for the offense.

How quickly you forget Flores's abominations. Not to mention his terrible play challenging

I have little issue with the clock today and a lot more with those play calls on 4th down and the inability to generate a running game when they needed it.

Andy Reid was once in this spot and he got better, we just gotta endure the growing pains of a rookie head coach, could always be worse, if time management is our biggest gripe with the head coach we're in good shape. could be like Flores, who fires an OC every year and doesn't want anything to do with the QB

Totally agree. Like throws on 4th and five to Gesicki in the flat? Good grief….
I think McDaniels tries to play the clock to the very very last second. It worked once to perfection and screwed is more times than not. He’s not an idiot in that he knows the norm would have been to call a timeout after that Mostert run. Outsmarts himself in those situations. He’s gotta rethink his approach.
Hmm don't like this thread because it feels like more overreaction but I do like your avatar. Penalties offset. Carry on.
Comparing him to Flores is a non-starter, sorry. Flores was fired, we hope McD won’t be. But on a standards of expectation scale only, he’s not there yet. Lots of growing pains for every first year HC…we talked about expecting this during the pre-season.
He’ll learn. He’ll improve. If he’s still making the same mistakes in year 2 forward, then I’ll be concerned.

McD has huge cojones, wants to leave absolutely no time on the clock for the other team and is so confident in the offense being able to convert. when it works he looks like a genius BUT it leaves no margin for error or adjustment in strategy. That first play in the 2 mim drill at the half that took 30 secs off the clock was unbearable
People mentioned Andy Reid and Mike Martz. Could it be that it’s just a bit too much to be the HC and the OC at times and it gets magnified in those situations? We’re talking about some really good offensive minded play callers who struggled w time management. McDaniel in what is a small sample size is indeed showing this tendency. I don’t know if the answer is hiring someone else to help but I do wonder if it’s you’re doing 2 jobs at once and you have to think about a lot of stuff w/out the benefit of getting more time. I dunno
His game management hasn’t been great unfortunately. Clock management has been bad. Too many wasted timeouts. Weird decisions (not kicking the field goal against Pittsburgh and not challenging the non-TD on the Sherfield catch). Too many penalties also. I think he’s brilliant and I love the guy, but he needs to get these things cleaned up.
