“He should have run the ball!”
That’s what former New York Jets coach Pete Carroll will face for the rest of his life.
The 2014 Super Bowl (played on Feb. 1, 2015) represented the quintessential play call hand-wringing by millions of NFL fans around the world, not to mention the Seahawks 12th Man diehards and Marshawn Lynch himself.
It’s not second-guessing when everyone thought they were going to run the ball beforehand, is it?
Ultimately, play-calling is a tricky thing. If the coach gets it right, he’s a genius; if he gets it wrong in a key spot, he may lose his job.
