          • How much are Football Coaches Really Worth?
        • Coaches on the Hot Seat
          • The True Hiring Score or THS is compiled by a complex formula bringing together many different factors. We are constantly tweaking our formula so that we can find the sweet spot of when a coach is technically on the hot seat. Obviously there are emotional swings with sports and so the mathematical ratings do not always line up with the emotional expectations from a team.
