Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

My candidate right now is Coach Pete Carroll of USC since he went for a 4th and 1 on the Texas 45 instead of pinning the Longhorns deep with a punt. This cost the Trojans their 35th consecutive win...

I personally would have punted, but I don't think that decision cost them the national championship. There is no way we can know for sure if Texas couldn't have gone 80 yards. Having a young, suspect...

Great game tonight... One negative is that the replay officials were horrible. .. a few of those calls clearly should have been replayed an overturned ... and one for sure that they replayed was not...

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

I agree with Searn that there has been some controversial replays during the bowl games. Even with instant replay there were some calls that I disagreed with the decision on - too many to list...

uhm actually USC went 1-3 with one of those conversions being a TD. In anycase I did not catch where the ball was at. I was playing a PC game. I know I am supposed to be doing one of my several...

On the NFLNetwork Mike Mayock claims it was 4th and 2. All the bigger reason not to run the football in that situation. Paul Burmeister agrees with him on the 4th and 2.

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

I put the chances of making the 4th and 2 at 50%, the chances of punting and stopping Texas (with 2 minutes left and with 2 timeouts, in 4 down territory for the rest of the game) at 50% and the...

I have to disagree with your math. I saw Bud Wilkinson's stats on NCAA teams scoring with the ball on your own 40+ yard line and inside your own 40 when I was growing up. Bud did this during one of...

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

I didn't have a problem with the call. LenDale White had been very tough to stop all night, and SC's line had been doing a good job moving Texas' D line off the ball. I might have called a different...

Whatever his stats were, they have to be old. This season Michigan lost to OSU and Wisconsin, and probably should have lost to PSU and Iowa, because they trusted their offense and punted. With today's...

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

I haven't kept track of NCAA teams stats like this throughout the years, but trust me when I say that teams score at least twice the rate when they start out on their own 40 or better mark. So old...

White also scored a TD on a 4th down conversion play. I don't think the move was all that boneheaded. Maybe could have called a play with some misdirection but if they get the conversion USC wins. On...

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

It was a mistake. We've all made them. None of us knows what was or wasn't in Coach Carrol's head at the critical moment. A lot of coaches have made mistakes of that degree or close to it. That's one...

Re: Biggest bonehead coaching move ever

Texas still had a time out left at the end of the game. They could have gone more yards in the same time. Statistics about how often teams score that are developed over the course of games fail to...

Quote:The more boneheaded move Carroll made was taking his last time out before the 2 point try. That deprived him the middle of the field after the kickoff. That one is not defensible. I could not...
