Has to be Bob Stull and his whole staff....and the whole team for not committing a penalty. Or calling a timeout. Or standing offsides. Anything. Against #1 Colorado.

How can 65000 fans know it's 5th down but no one on the field knows? How is that even possible?

Our worst coaching moment lasted about 8 months.

Throwing a screen pass to a TE when you just had to run out the clock against Auburn.

We attempted to do an onside kick with only 9 players on the field but Zook wouldn't call a timeout because he wanted to keep the element of surprise.

@UT 2013. We were in the lead, late 4th QT, deep in our own territory, it was 4th down, Spurrier considered going for it, called 2 time outs in a row, punted the ball anyway(we had a shitty punter and we all knew it), UT gets the ball in relatively good field position, score the winning FG.

Either our defensive strategy in the Orange Bowl or only giving it to Anthony Dixon once on the 1 yard line vs LSU in '09.

Croom. Take your pick on clock mismanagement, calling a timeout only to come out of the TO and still get a delay of game, etc.

Stull had to be an idiot, because any other coach would have went batshite crazy and probably gotten tossed.

Ordering $1000 worth of room service for your stripper friend on the university credit card.

Although, in a sense, this 'coaching moment' was the impetus for our hire of Saban. With a slight detour through the Shula years.

Failure to spike. Nuff said.

It's too easy to say everything about Mike Sherman's last season.

Slocum - 2 instances come to mind.

1999 Sugar Bowl. 4th and inches from the Ohio State 30 down 10 with 5 minutes to go and he punts.

2000 vs. Oklahoma. 1st and goal from the 8 down 35-31 with 2 minutes left. 280+ lb Ja'Mar Toombs, who just ran for a 19 yard TD with 3 Oklahoma players hanging on his back, isn't in the formation once the entire 4 downs.

Dennis Francione:

2005 Clemson - kicking the PAT up 1 with 2 minutes left.

2006 Oklahoma - Kicking a FG down 4 late in the game.

2006 Nebraska - Running a freshman running back to the sideline up 6 trying to ice the game.

Kevin Sumlin:

2013 - Not firing Mark Snyder after that abortion of a defense.

1. Charlie McClendon missing on 4th down and not kicking the tying field goal against Ole Miss and Archie in Nov 1969.
We tie them 26-26 and we are 9-0-1 and play #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl (as it was supposed to be anyway.)
Instead we lose 26-23, go 9-1, and the Cotton rescinds informal Cotton offer to #7 9-1 LSU and chooses #11 8-2 Notre Dame over us...



2. Curley Hallman and Lynn Amedee - the whole 4th quarter at Auburn in 1994. We led 23-9 and Auburn's QB Nix was injured. We had only to run the ball the entire 4th quarter and the final score might still have ended up 23-9 as they couldn't move the ball at all.
Instead, Amedee (with Hallman's approval, ostensibly) calls for pass after pass after pass from Jamey Howard, which results in 3 pick sixes and one of the most confounding losses ever in the history of sport.


3. Up 17-14 on Bama in Nov 2012 in a frenzied DV, with about 2 minutes left in the game and a first and 10 from the Bama 28, Miles decides to be safe and run, which promptly results in a bad pitch and a 6 yard loss - which virtually assured 2 up-the-middle plunges and a field goal.
Miles outsmarted himself that game. He gambled when he shouldn't have (fake FG on 4th and 10) and didn't gamble when he should have.
Of course Alleman missed the FG. And then 3rd and last 2 minutes Chavis blows the game....

Easily the 2013 championship game. We decided to completely scrap our base defense and try to implement a new system in a week. Obviously didn't work out well. Cost us an SEC title and very possibly a BCS NC.

Still not over that one.

Houston Nutt's puckering butthole giving away the game at Bama when DMAC was unstoppable.

Sylvester Croom once punted from the GEORGIA 30 yard line on 4th & 3 in a game we lost 27-24.
