Only thing they've got to make that judgment is a team's preparation, execution, and what they see on the field.
2. Decision-making during the game. This is the part of coaching where everybody and their Madden-playing mothers is a goddamn genius, and it's what people like to think makes a truly great coach. They think some coaches are better at this shit than others, but in most cases (this includes a bunch of Andy Reid's so-called time management losses) the decisions are a ****ing crap shoot.
You can rack up some bad losses attributable to #2 throughout your career and still keep your job. Those aren't the things that make a bad coach bad. Staley completely ****ed away his team's trip to the postseason last year. But the team really likes his #1, so he stays. And I'll bet he even gets an extension in a couple years.

How many of those delay of games were on the coach because of getting the play in late?
