re: Why do people on this board think they know better than the coaching staff?

fans cannot possibly take into account all the actual variables such as scheduling, officiating, injuries, weather, team chemistry, player psychology, fatigue not to mention incorporating those same variables from the opponent. and this doesn't include blind luck that happens in every game.
coaches actually consider all these factors. that's why teams have an entire staff-just to try to grasp all of that. just because a fan guesses right doesn't mean he has any inkling of what's going on compared to the coaches. again, it's gross oversimplification.
Asymmetrical information, difficulty of the problem, and number of variables doesn't mean that the coach is always right and always knows more. We've already covered this ground. Optimal decisions can be made, get this, without considering all or even any information.

coaches vs fans - absurd. fan knows essentially nothing.
coaches vs coaches - miles is one of the all time best sec and lsu coaches. criticizing a relative handful of situations in his career is plain ignorant. myopia and personality deficiencies cause fans to oversimplify
