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.

Excited to share Next Gen Trends.
Really proud of what our @NextGenStats team built with @codeandtheory and @awscloud to make the complexity of NFL schemes easier to understand.
It’s live and free to explore. Let me know what you think.

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.
