He (or She) wouldn't be able to just shrug his shoulders and throw his hands up in the air, and still call himself a Boss.

The Head Coach doesn't get to simply gaze onto the field and watch his team "fumble" away critical opportunities, and do nothing about it, week after week... That's NOT what he's getting paid to do. It's a Head Coach, not a Mannequin.

I respectively see it differently. We aren’t talking about a rookie. And we are talking about more responsibilities than simply not fumbling. Kamara is considered one of the best backs and greatest weapons in the game. Allen had him in a position to succeed on a play with a catch near the goal line. It’s the player’s responsibility to execute the play. Part of that is not dropping the ball. Allen isn’t throwing the ball….he’s not catching the ball….he’s not running the ball…and he’s not fumbling the ball. If your answer is to replace Kamara with someone better then good luck with that. If it makes you feel better to blame Allen for everything rather than the players who are making the mistakes the more power to you. If I drop a glass of milk I don’t blame my parents for not teaching me I shouldn’t drop a glass of milk. I blame myself. I’m old enough and experienced enough to know that myself and so does Kamara. Maybe if he was as serious about fumbling as he was about packed elevators he would hold onto the ball.
