Reception
John Harrington reviewed Head Coach for Games International magazine, and gave it a rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "It is gratifying to see a small British software company come up with a reasonable sport simulation, and although the game will probably pall after a few seasons it should maintain its appeal long enough to get gridiron junkies through the baseball season."{{cite journal | last = Harrington |first = John | title =Computer Games | journal = Games International | issue = 13 | pages =53–54 |date=February–March 1990}}
Desmond for The Micro User wrote that the game is "fascinating and good fun - excellent tor bringing out the emotions" and quipped that not many games get him emotional enough to shout at the screen the way this one did.{{Cite web|url=https://www.everygamegoing.com/larticle/Head-Coach-V3-000/18762|title=Head Coach V3 (Coda) Review | The Micro User - Everygamegoing|website=www.everygamegoing.com}}
Damon Howarth for Page 6 recommended the game to anyone with any interest in American football, commenting that anyone who wants to "use your computer in conjunction with your brain rather than just a picture gallery" may be interested in this program.{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/Page6-37-Apr89/page/70/mode/2up|title=Page6 37 Apr89|via=Internet Archive}}
