That was unbelievably stupid. I remember Bobby Bowden kicking a PAT up 12 w/ ~8-10 minutes left vs. Miami a few years ago.

That is unbelievable. How could you possibly be considered a good coach if you make mistakes that are so obvious? WTF!

Also, bump for Andy Reid on monday.

Mack Brown went for 2 after scoring with 5 minutes left against UCF to go ahead by 11.

A Nunez singled to right.
J Moyer bunt popped into double play, third to second, A Nunez doubled off first.
[skipping rest of top of 8th]...

New York - Bottom of 8th Score 2-2
J.C. Romero pitching for Philadelphia
J Romero relieved J Moyer.

I think this needs to be clarified. He went for 2 and didn't get it, thereby leaving his team up 11, instead of 12 after a normal PAT.

I would say like 5-10 minutes left in the game is the cutoff for stuff like this. Any more time left and I don't think you can automatically call any 2pt-conversion/PAT decision stupid. In college I would probably go for 2 every time, so that covers any excuse for a seemingly stupid 2pt-try. With 9 or 10+ minutes left in the game, too much can happen to just automatically for 2 based on game situation, imo.

But yeah, with 5 minutes to go, thats pretty dumb. WAY worse with like 38 seconds to go in the UK situation.

Then this is totally standard and correct.

Re: Post here when coaches do something obviously stupid

Don't know, but I don't think leaving your team up by a TD, 2pt conversion, and then a FG to tie is ever the correct play with that much time left. Probably want to be up at least 2 TDs there...

Oklahoma State at Troy...

2nd quarter, Troy up 17. Troy has the ball, 4th and 10 inside their own 30, and runs a fake punt. It seemed like they were trying to let OSU back in the game.

They failed.

Re: Post here when coaches do something obviously stupid

How about the entire coaching staff for UofL. They made some of the worst play calls last night.

UK deserved to win that game. It's hard for me to say that since I'm an UofL fan.

Well, it wasn't a level, so either misread or I am retarded. He is up by 11 after the score? or he would be up by 11 after the PAT? 11 is better than 10, but 12 is WAY better than 11, right?

Maybe I am retarded.
