Saban's fake field goal call

One of the worst calls ever. The kicker wasn't even on the field. That didn't fool anybody.
Florida takes over in great shape and goes right down and scores and regains the lead. Compeletely changed the complexion of the game.
Could have easily pinned them back at their own 10 yard line. That was big time bone head.

Don't you just love it. Even "God" Saban makes a bonehead play every now and then. I don't care if he didn't call the play, he's the head dick and he failed. Gotta love it.

I dont know what yall are talking about? that was a GREAT call. Saban is infallible, I hear he advises the Pope on big time decisions. HE single handedly was responsible for Vatican II

Saban is infallible...the players probably made that call on the field w/o him knowing.

Agree. Saban even admitted it was a bad call.

Saban also sad he wasn't going to coach at BAMA.
Meaning = he lies a lot

Regular kicker was poked in the eye and was out at the time.

Not only did it fail miserably it gave ALL the momentum Bama had earned to that point right back to Florida. That was a huge play for us and I noticed how pumped the offense was when I looked down at the sideline.

i noticed tiffin wasn't back there and figured it was a fake.

Saban admitted it was a bad call.
He also said that they shouldn't have run it. They were looking for a particular thing and UF didn't line up in it. They should've either kicked it or called timeout.
Again though, Saban admitted it was a tough situation and they should've either took a delay or just gone for it with the offense out there.

Did Saban actually use "they", like he was removed from situation?

I loved that call!

I don't know if it was his call.

you're all right, Saban is a terrible coach who doesn't know what he's doing. Can we trade him for Les Miles?

With Tiffin injured at that time I would have liked to see them try to pin Florida deep... but oh well. The game was really lost in the 4th quarter.

Well, as much as Saban would prefer to be in Baton Rouge... I like it a lot more when there's a fake and it works!! Or when you go for it on forth.... and make it!
Admit it the double standard. Miles makes some gutsy, surprise calls, and gets picked on even when they WORK, we beat Florida and eventually the NC. Tricky Nick rolls the dice, comes up snake eyes, and still can't walk with out having people dragging the ground from his pecker..

Bama did have one of the best 4th down conversion rates in the SEC this year. I think we were 7 of 9 on the season.

I like Saban because he doesn't normally mess with gimmick plays like he did yesterday. I thought it was a bad call even if it had worked.

saban is usually pretty effective with his gimmick plays.
fake fg vs florida, ou, and the fake punt vs bama, onside kick vs au all while at LSU

Terrible call, even if we make it. Running a fake FG against the best special teams unit in the country when we need 9 yards. 
But listening to the halftime interview, it didn't sound like he made the call which is weird.
