Well, the playoffs are here and not unlike our changed strategy in bowl games, there are a lot of factors that must be weighed.
We can all agree quarterback play is important during the regular season; it’s more important come January. The comfort and collective coolness of the quarterback-head coach combination is valuable this time of year.
