I agree with u on the following:
1. It did not cost us the game.
2. Dooley had to call the TO.
I don't agree with u on the following:
1. Your assumption that the play would not have been overturned. Shaw was clearly out when he dove forward and his foot hit the line and kicked up chalk.
2. Your claim that It was not clear that the ref was immediately winding the clock....The ref blew the whistle and was waving his hands over his head which is a signal for the clock to stop.
You are clearly missing the big picture here....Dooley is responsible for managing the game and as a result has an obligation to understand the rules (including how to handle a challenge). By calling the TO AND not discussing the challenge with the ref, he effectively wasted the TO. If Dooley would have lost the challenge, the outcome would have been the same as not challenging at all (TO charged to UT with 0 remaining). Challenging at least gave him a chance to save the TO.
Also, the TO prob wouldn't have won the game. However, it would open up the playbook. Without the TO we were limited to deep sideline routes which are easy to defend.
Sorry for the long post, but the blind and oblivious Dooley supporters seem to need a detailed explanation of his failures as a coach.
