No one said that game management is easy. We all have opinions on when certain decisions should be made and why. ACC level head coaches and by extension, their staffs are paid large sums of money to handle many events during a football game. What plays to run, who to utilize in certain offensive and defensive groupings, to punt, kick a field goal or go for it and of course, how to handle time and score situations.
Decisions are made on every play and a coach must always be a play or two or more ahead of the game, anticipating what might happen and what that will do their decision tree.
