A great concept for a game that needed more refinement. As it has been described in the past, NFL Head Coach is basically a sports management sim where you get to actually watch and coach the games. Unfortunately, that part of the game is not fun. Bad in-game camera angles and confusing systems make the player feel more like a spectator than a coach who is in control. Off the field, excessive loading times and confusing UI sour the experience.

If NFL Head Coach had been a yearly franchise, I imagine a lot of these issues would have been ironed out and it could have been a unique franchise. Unfortunately, this is the only one released on this console generation.
