Besides while broadcasters might suggest playing conservative to start and laud a coach that does, they rarely actually pile on after the fact when a coach does make an aggressive play. Even the Belichick 4th and 2 with the lead in his own territory late was given a pretty balanced approach by the media with ESPN making sure to point out that the math showed his decision to be correct.

yes it is possible to craft a hypothetical in which a coach would make the correct decisions and get fired in large part due to that. Thats much different than saying its likely enough to happen that it should impact the coach's decision making process.

BB was definitely chastised for his 4th and 2 against the Colts.

Of course you're not.

Were that to happen the 49ers title equity would go down. Amirite?

Even worse is the distinct possibility that JDR would act as HC.

Rumor debunked. Apparently he was attempting to total his score on the front-nine.

“Denver Broncos Head Coach John Fox was taken to a Charlotte-area hospital after feeling light-headed while playing golf on Saturday,” the team said in a statement.

I think it was the reaction some people had at finding out Marcus was booted on Survivor Gabon.
