that's what I mean about the guy goombah, he acts like he's got a screw missing, he cannot defend that call!!
I don't disagree with you. He needs to man up and own the mistake. He will lose his players if he continues to defend this screwup. I do give him credit for not letting the O-Coordinator take the heat. But he should say "If I had to do it over, I would have called a running play and then a timeout if necessary."
