re: Strategies that football coaches should do but never do

For the most part, I don't understand spikes in most situations. Have 2 plays called or some very simple ways to call some quick plays, and you can add maybe 3-5 seconds and get an actual play off, instead of the spike.

We're talking about football players here. As much as they are trained and practice, you often you seen them not go out of bound?

If you're down with limited time, the downs can be gained again(just get another 1st down). The time cannot.

Now if it's 40 seconds left at 1st and goal, you should not spike since you have plenty of time to get 4 plays in. This is when the down is more important. Now if it 10 seconds left and it's 1st and goal, you should spike. You see where I'm going with this?
