That end of game clock management was all kinds of dumb, how can you become a division 1 head coach and not understand basic things like leaving yourself with enough time to come back should he make it? I'm also always surprised a player doesn't take it into his own hands and just call a timeout when something that egregiously stupid happens, someone on that sideline has to both have a little bit of intelligence and no respect for authority.

remember though there is an unbelievable amount of pressure. just b/c you can make the right call while you're playing madden or watching the game doesn't necessarily mean you won't overthink yourself when the clock is ticking and there is so much riding on your decision

If you get flustered and can't handle a simple end of game situation, you really shouldn't be a head coach.

I never understood why people assume the pressure shouldn't be able to get to a head coach. They are human after all. Just as the best players shine in the clutch the best coaches do as well. The Nev coach made great decisions all game. He choked at the end, its that simple, its not like he's an idiot who has no idea of football strategy. This is why he is not getting paid 7 figures to coach a major program.
