That's not being overrated as a head coach, that's on the players.

Did you see the ends of each half? Now, whether he couldn't figure out how to run a 2 minute offense, or whether his players weren't prepared to execute it, most of the blame still falls on him as a coach. I don't remember the particulars of his SB loss while in Green Bay, but someone else mentioned that it was similar.
