Why Do NFL Coaches Always Step Up?

Ever noticed how NFL coaches are often the first to take the blame when things go wrong? Last Sunday, New York Giants' head coach Brian Daboll did just that. A play didn't go as planned, and instead of pointing fingers at the quarterback, Daniel Jones, Daboll said he'd like a do-over. When told there were open players, he simply said, "Yeah, it didn't work. " This isn't new; coaches often take the heat. But why?Maybe it's because coaches are the leaders. They set the tone for the team. By taking the blame, they might be trying to protect their players or take pressure off them. It could also be a way to show they're in charge and ready to face the music. Think about it: when a coach takes the blame, it can unite the team. Players might feel more loyal and work harder to make things right. It's like saying, "I've got your back, now let's fix this together. " But is this always the best strategy? Some might argue that coaches should hold players accountable too. After all, everyone makes mistakes. It's how you learn and grow.
