Why Not Go For Two?

[brad37128]

When we went up 26-14? Basic math right?

 

[champyvol]

because jones is a complete idiot.

 

[SobeVol]

Absolutely!
One point buys nothing!

 

[Carl Pickens]

Who knows, but the D had been very good up until that point.

 

[Other_Guy]

Absolutely!
One point buys nothing!

And missing it loses nothing. Its the most common sense thing I can think of after taking a knee in the final seconds.

Stupidity

Butch left the chart and his playbook in the locker room at halftime.

 

[Roustabout]

Knock, knock
Who's there?
The guy that managed to lose to Dooley.

It does seem odd. The two-point conversion chart dictates "Go for 2" when leading by 5.

Though our very inconsistent power football plays up the middle might have dictated the decision.

 

[Televol]

No brainer.

You HAVE to go for two.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[aussievol]

You think it would have made a difference. We just would have lost by 2 instead, or in overtime if we make it.

 

[EZE]

No excuse. Poor game management.

 

[jkleno]

jones is a complete moron

 

[jkleno]

I would take Dooley over this idiot coach

 

[Televol]

We had a 7 minute drive of running it down their throats.

You have to show your team that you believe in them and run it down their throats one more time for two point conversion.

It was gutless to not go for it.

 

[livefaith]

Thankful for the error. Loss in OT would have stung even worse. Coach letting us down easy.

 

[allvol123]

Done.


That was so dumb.

 

[volfanstuckinga]

I am so over our coaching staff....I am not sure which is worse. Not going for two....OR not being man enough to admit that he SHOULD have gone for 2.

 

[utisme]

Bad coaching

 

[jortfreeTN]

Why did we burn a time out after the clock was stopped on a first down after we had a false start penelty?

3 seconds left and he tries to sub a player instead of just calling a time out, cost us 5 yards which could of been the diffrence.

Fact is Jones is Saban on the recruit trail, but Dooley on the side line. He has no spine, no creativity and piss poor game management.

Of course we should have gone for it--said so at the time. Butch being Butch. You could tell watching him on TV after the TD that there was doubt in his mind but he went ahead with the kick anyway. BAD decision--and here's why? Florida was not going to kick FGs after that--they were going to go for it on 4th, and so there was no chance of florida scoring 13 points.

I wouldn't go that far

Sad part is Butch was being conservative and just happy settling for a FG. Hurd scored a TD and Butch wasn't expecting it. Hadn't even considered going for 2 because he hadn't planned on scoring a TD.

Cause he has no balls.
