Quote:The point isn't that we shouldn't expect the coach to be performing. It's that your way of evaluating that performance is simplistic and inept.

Then I suppose that if you are to be consistent with your logic, you would also have to say that the NFL in general is simplistic and inept in it's method of determining who goes to the championship game and who doesn't. I guess you would also have to say that determining who the winner of a race is by who crossed the finish line first is simplistic and inept; because after all, there may have been competitors who really were trying harder to win, who had better 'form', who were more popular, who had better style... but didn't cross the line first.

 

You may not like how teams are evaluated for who will proceed to the play off's and ultimately the SB, but that's the way it is. Your assertion that the methodology of relying on the end of season record as a means of evaluation as 'simplistic and inept' only suggest that you are idealistic to the point of losing touch with reality. I would suggest that you check the contents of that cup of tea that you're sipping cause what you're saying is l u d i c r o u s !
