Think you can make better game management decisions than an NFL coach?
I built CoachSim to put that to the test. Make the call in real NFL situations, then see the numbers behind the decision.
coachsim.app
How CoachSim Works:
• You're the head coach in an NFL simulation
• Make 4th down, clock & timeout decisions
• You have 40 seconds to make each call
• See the numbers behind your decision vs. reality
80+ historical situations & counting.
