Disagree completely. Coaches have different agaends than we do. Their main priority is to win. We don't care who wins. Coaches also simply aren't qualified to properly evaluate officials. You're trying to turn officiating into a popularity contest, and that simply ain't feasible.

Ask the guys from states like Ohio that let coaches pick their playoff officials. They'll tell you how great that system is working in their state.
