As a small college head coach should you:
1. Be aware that your star qb was laying on the turf for a few minutes after hitting his head on the ground... And then only missed one play with basically one “trainer/medical staff” helping player when off the field for 20 seconds.
2. Be aware that said player 10 minutes later was in same position and laid on ground several more minutes?
3. Be at least somewhat concerned for the players long term health?
4. Care at least enough to physically go ask “medical” staff, talk to the player, something, anything?
5. Attempt to create a respectable culture/environment where player concussion/injury is taken seriously, especially around the head?

As an aside:
“Not the coaches/leagues/etc fault” mentality is how the NFL got where it is with the concussion threatening the future of the league itself.
