Willing to bet Briles saw the writing on the wall with Pittman

I'd bet Briles was lifting his skirt to any and all suitors because he realized Sam had legitimate deficiencies as a head coach and zero fire to fix them, and thus decided he had to bolt.
Pittman purportedly (and by his own admission) relied heavily on Odom when it came to in-game decision making. He lost that safety valve.
Something about how bad we are — and how terrible of a coaching job Sam has done — makes me think Briles saw the writing on the wall (and the writing said "shitshow").

"To be honest, I didn't know what to do, and I didn't make the decision fast enough. I didn't want to burn the timeout because I wasn't sure I was making the right decision."

Agreed but Briles hasn't been an avenging angel of awesomeness since leaving. The Horny Frogs played for a national title last season and are 4-3 this year.
We may have pulled all this off with smoke and mirrors.

I'm not sure if Sam literally didn't ask Odom what do during the game.

I hadn’t put together that Sam lost the head coaching experience of Barry Odom until I saw that point today on Facebook….that’s why he was so reluctant to fire him despite our terrible defense.
My question is, how has Sam coached D1 football for 40 years and still be so green as a head coach? He’s seen other coaches for 40 years….he has to have drawn some conclusions about practically every football situation in that time, right?

I would assume, he just wanted more money, which he probably should have gotten.

Which is why I thought an established coach like Petrino could have saved him this year, and let him rebuild his rep, maybe been named coach in waiting while learning to actually recruit from Pittman.

I still believe it was Money, I don’t think he wanted another short stint, he wanted his next job to be a HC.
