re: Why is horrific coaching so much more common in football than other sports?

Coughlin should have been gone last year and he should be gone tonight, but he is surely not the only waterhead who holds the title of head coach of a major football organization/program.

Um...Coughlin is a pretty good coach, he's won two titles in NY and before that built an expansion team into a title contender.

Now, he does struggle at the same things some other good but not legendary coaches struggle at-- game management, but that's because there's a ton of different skill sets required by a head coach at any level-- building a program (recruiting/drafting/signing, etc), player development, strategy, opposition analysis, game management and clock management and almost no one is great at all of them.
