The best clutch coach in the NFL? Look to Kansas City

Sports

December 18th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(By The Associated Press undefined) – There’s actually a ranking service to determines who the best clutch coach in the NFL is. The EdjSports Coach Rankings are an assessment of performance of every NFL head coach on such things as overall team strengths, execution and fourth-down decisions. The ratings give considerable weight to fourth downs because they often have a major impact on outcomes of games. They are pre-snap decisions that are totally attributable to the coach regardless of the outcome.

And those ratings come up with Super Bowl champion Andy Reid. Indianapolis coach Frank Reich is second followed by Green Bay’s Matt LaFleur.

 

Kirk Ferentz tests positive for COVID-19

Sports

December 18th, 2020 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz has tested positive for COVID-19. Ferentz tested positive during his regularly scheduled rapid antigen test Thursday morning, followed by a PCR test to confirm the diagnosis. He is asymptomatic and will remain home until Dec. 27, 2020. Players, coaches, and staff members are tested daily as part of the Big Ten Conference return to play protocols.

Iowa’s scheduled game against Michigan was canceled earlier this week due to the high number of positive tests within the Michigan football program. Because of the cancellation, Iowa players were given the week off to focus on finals and enjoy the holiday.

“We have been fortunate this season to have played eight games and to have very few positive cases,“ said Ferentz. “When the team returns to practice on Tuesday, I will participate via zoom and our collective focus will be on preparing for the bowl game.”

The Hawkeye football team will learn its bowl invitation Sunday afternoon.
