Miami has a time management coach

Lol anyone giving him credit for this.....this is literally owned by every team. I'd be surprised if they hired someone to literally just do this but I imagine they assigned an analyst/grad assistant with this responsibility.

Like even NFL coaches have this guy.

I’m more interested in knowing if we’re leaning on a super experienced former playcaller type like Jed Fisch when he did it for the Rams, Dan Shamash for the Jets who coached many different positions, or like George Li with the Panthers who has a football analytics and data background. The other option is like Ryan Cordell for the Vikings who has been an assistant coach for several years but also a degree in math, a data analyst background, and an MBA focusing on business and analytics and big data.

Hopefully it’s not the worst of those areas and it’s just a GA with no game management experience that isn’t a data guru. That would be worse than a head coach and assistants with 20+ years apiece on the sideline figuring it out themselves.

Yes, every team has one. He admitted Miami did last year too, it's not like they didn't know they were able to run out the clock against GT. They talked about it. They just decided not to do it.

He's learning from it, which is all you can ask for at this point. It happened, we can't go back and fix it. Just make sure it never happens again.

I'm more concerned about the overall coaching, though, versus just end of game time management. We looked lost at the end of halves and games last year, with no real gameplan that everyone was on the same page executing. Does Mario even know what the "middle 8" is? It's incredibly important. If we're down by 14 in the 4th quarter, and we score, will he go for two as is literally mathematically the correct call?

There is also a two-minute warning now in college football. It'll be very interesting to see how the team does around that. Will we know it's coming up and be able to get an additional play in when we want? Or will it sneak up on us?

Taking a knee is the least of my worries. He'll never do that again. It's the rest of the **** he needs to be better at. If he's hiring someone to just handle that for him, that's good.

For the most part I agree with your points. I worry more about Shannon Dawson getting overly conservative. Whether that comes from Mario or himself, we will never know, but there's not much doubt we got awfully conservative ont hat side of the ball last year.

We looked like FSU vs GT. That’s what happens when you’re handicapped at the most important position.

Any idea who it is?

He was limited by sub par QB play from a now Wisky QB and a freshman, let's keep that in mind.

Perplexed by this a bit, not sure how to interpret…are we learning from the past and growing from it, or were we just not listening to whoever was in the role last year? Anyone can read a philosophy book and agree with all that is written but when the time comes and the fires are raging does the philosophy take or not? Mario didn’t take a knee Twice in his career now. Will Mario heed the time management coaches suggestions?

He stated they had a process in place, but didn't follow it. Not sure what exactly that means, there was a rumor that they wanted Chaney to get 100 yards and that is why they ran it, they knew they could kneel.

Vikings as an org seems very analytics based now that Kwesi took over. So getting someone from there would make sense.

Lions also with Dan Campbell have done EXTREMELY well analytically with their decisions on when to go for it on 4th and when to kick, AND clock and timeout usage. So wherever they're getting their info, someone from that tree would be great. Campbell was getting a lot of **** because sometimes the calls don't work out, but it wins more than it loses, and gives them an advantage. This is exactly what we need, cause if you listen to Campbell he may SEEM like a meathead football guy like Mario can be perceived. But dude trusts the analytics and feel for the game is good. We need Mario to emulate Dan Campbell....

And while its funny to laugh, at yeah the clock manager guy isn't literally JUST looking at the clock and telling him when we can knee....

It’ll be interesting to see what happens if our quarterback this year is able to go more than a drive or two without hitting a guy with a different colored shirt on in the chest with a football.

Clearly that's the part of the equation that changes this year. If Dawson adapts, wonderful. If not, we know there's a better probability that the problem is a case of Nohuevos by the OC. Time will tell.
 
for sure I want an analytics coach who can advise on 4th an situations. That has a huge mother's ringing red billboard that means "game is over. TAKE A KNEE"
