Whitlock is NOT right about the 4th and 2 call. This argument has been rehashed a dozen times, but a study looking at expected values of 4th down strategies found that you should go for it in situations like that. (Now the Chiefs' O-line is so bad, it could be argued that they are so far below the average team that the rules don't apply to them, but whatever. It was hardly a major coaching gaffe.)
Whitlock is such a bitter **** with regards to Haley and Pioli. Instead of writing about Haley's first win as a head coach, he rips him, and talks about the fact that they are boring to watch. I don't remember the same attitude from Whitlock during the 2006 season when every game Herm won was as boring as yesterday's.
