A 2010 Wall Street Journal study calculated that only about 11 minutes of a typical NFL broadcast is devoted to game action while about half as much screen time goes to shots of the coaches on the sidelines. But this story didn’t address one crucial point: The obligatory coach shots aren’t democratic. In fact, the number of times the camera shows the coach varies wildly from team to team.

To find out which coaches are the biggest camera hogs, the Count watched two full games from the 2014 season for all 32 teams and tallied the number of times the broadcast cut to the head coach (regardless of duration). In the average game, the coach was shown 28 different times—but this number is misleading. San Francisco’s Jim Harbaugh was shown a total of 91 times in two games, giving him a 45.5 average that was tops in the league. By comparison, Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy had an average of 13.5 appearances a game.

 

 

Been through many contract negotiations in my line of work, including 1st chair several times, so know a little bit about leverage and how it works in trying to reach agreement

just show the field so I can see alignments and substitutions.  don't care one damn bit about a guy on the sidelines picking his nose or how crazy player on sideline reacted to a play on the field.  and, yes, get off my yard! 

This is the kind of stats and analysis that keeps me coming back to timesfour.

 

Very interesting though..some surprises in the HC list, like Jacksonville unless it is to see how distressed he is...

I think the whole coaching face time equation is based on how likely they are to show some bug-eyed outrage after an event on the field. The western Har-bow is by far the most Shatner-esque.

Though if Tom Coughlin's face gets any redder they may put color bars up just to prove your TV isn't messed up.

Pete Carrol = Blair

etc....

Are you calling Henry fat?

 

Are you calling me a phony, disingenuous, cheating, ass-hole?

 

Hey, Hank has lost some weight.

Only going on appearances...

 

I thought your hair was close to Carrol's except that yours is of-course more attractive, stylish, and not gray.   

 

If you put a hat and fur (or whatever Henry's avatar is) on Marc Trestman, I think we have a match.

Bridgewater didn't start against the Packers, but he was/is considered the starter.
To be fair, the article says the guy only looked at two full games for each team.  So he probably used two of the games Bridgewater started
