re: Coaches and basic clock management

The Minnesota deal was a system failure. That staff has been together for something like 20 years. Kill was the decision maker. Even when he was out, I guarantee he was calling shots & telling them what to do. At the most critical juncture of the game Minnesota's staff was LOST. You could even see the indecision on the last drive. It looked like they were playing for the FG & the TD.
The interim HC should have burned the last timeout after the review. Give the QB two plays & get control of the situation.
