And yes he does. Have you seen those tablets they have? They are filled with pictures and videos from the drive that literally just finished. In the end, he's the head coach. You just watched your QB get obliterated and have a seizure. 


In the modern age, there is literally no excuse for "I didn't see it"
HD video replay can be had instantly. 
If your QB goes down, the coach better be checking on him. 

I'm not saying he missed a diagnosis but common sense should dictate: You had what appeared to be a seizure. You are not well enough to go back in. 

I've never seen the HC holding a tablet during a game. 

OC, DC, QB coach, other position coaches, absolutely. Every time I've seen a head coach, they are talking to someone on the sidelines or into the mic on their headset and looking at the field of play. 

The dude went down in the back of the endzone, the laws of physics say that O'Brien couldn't have seen it happen live. Not humanly possible.

As I said, the ref sends him off, I would bet anything based on my conversations with other coaches (granted it was mostly college HC's and only 1 NFL coach while working in Georgia) but when Savage gets sent off, O'Brien is counting on his trainers and medical personal to say the guy is out or in. He is not trained to make that decision, if they say he can play, then...he has to believe them.

Common sense is, he probably didn't know that Savage appeared to have a seizure until after he came off and was then "cleared" by supposed professionals. 

I've seen guys get lit up on the field, and thought to myself, that guy is done for the day. He gets helped off the field and one play later he is back in the game and looks fine. I'm not going to fault O'Brien for that and if that is all you have against the guy, it's not worth discussing.
