Being a mediocre coach is one thing. Being a mediocre coach that does 0 IQ shit like going for it on 4th down in your own end late in the game WHEN YOURE UP BY FOUR POINTS is just insane.

If the Vikings had any idea how to run a competent 2 minute drill, Staley probably gets fired after that game for that decision, but Cousins went full prime time game, wasted a ton of clock and rushed the play for a terrible interception in the endzone.

Staley is an analytics moron. All the statistics on paper suggest thus is what you should do.

What it doesn't show on paper is the cratering of your team morale when you get nothing.

I remember a game against us they got a massive kickoff return, and got deep into our territory I think to open the game, and then went for it on 4th instead of taking the easy 3 and got nothing. They ended up losing a close game where I think a couple of those field goals were just flat refused by Staley.

You just can't waste the work that these guys do on these drives. Get a turnover in enemy territory, that has to become at least 3 points, not a roll the dice and lose with a lot of game left.

I've said it before, but imagine a penalty implemented on a drive where you weren't allowed to kick a field goal. You had to go for it. It would be outrageous to 31 teams, but Staley is a guy that does this to himself willingly.

I don't see how he's their coach right now.
