Yep. Not a BOB fan but 49 should win a game
Defense scored a TD and we kicked two earlier FGs because of stupid calls like a draw play on 2nd and long or going from shotgun in goaline and throwing.

I don’t think any of those play calls were unreasonable

I'm no BOB apologist, but I'm gonna go with the supposedly improved veteran defense giving up 52 points as the problem in this game.
The fact of the matter is both coordinators are incompetent at what they do. However, we’ve been in more close games since BOB took over the offense than the last few years combined. With the way college football is now, having an OC that can out scheme the opponent is more important because defenses are already at a disadvantage before the ball is ever kicked. I can almost guarantee you, with Sark as OC we haven’t lost a game since 2019.

49 pts should win a game
45 sec 1st and 10 with 35 yards to goal tie game also should be OT at worst. Could have kneeled the ball 3 times kicked and went to OT.

cns was ok with the call so ..
i dont think they imagined Tenn would have time left to score .. too much misplaced confidence w our defense
same level decision as kick6 but the latter was luck but this one was avoidable

Serious question for people who trot out this line of thinking. Why come to a forum at all? If only professionals know what they're doing and no one on the internet should question or even comment on their decisions, what is the point in talking to people on the internet?

ALabama has become the place people come to hire their coaches. Saban has to replace coaches regularly if they are successful. I don't see anyone beating down the door for our OC or DC. Thats about all I need to know.

Amazing that when a play, such as the 2nd down Gibbs drop, which could have possibly scored a TD, is now considered a part of "terrible play calling".
Whose to blame when a play is set up well and just the mere fundamentals aren't performed?

The way we drop this year that has to be factored into equation in critical game defining moments.

Is it best to call plays based on your thinking the player will drop a short pass?

What’s a more high percentage play? Running the ball (with our 2nd best player) forcing the clock to run, or throwing 3 straight passes that have the potential to stop the clock and result in the finish that we all saw? I’m not denying if Gibbs would have caught that ball it would have been great, but the team was in a dog fight and about to pull it out. That’s not the time to get cute.

Cute? A 5 yard inside slant pass? C'mon. We're not talking a Malzahn whirly bird here. That's about a basic call as can be called. Further, Tennessee had like 8 guys in the box. Our kicker, even before this attempt, has been unreliable of late. Settling for a game wining 50 yard FG attempt was not quality decisioning IMO.
The players jusr failed to execute on that one play.

Our OC fails to execute all game long and even after that play where the RB drops the ball.
We had one down remaining, he should have ran the ball to the left to center it for the kick.
No excuses.

Yes, cute. Three straight passes is cute. Disregard the clock not moving by passing. Young had been blitzed all night. A sack, tipped ball interception, incompletion, all of these things put you outside of field goal range or doesn’t kill the clock. Run the ball. The clock moves, if it’s stuffed your out 2 yards max, and you can run to the left and center the ball up. Maybe one pass, but passing three straight times makes no sense there.

Yes, from the right hash. Which further supports the idea we should have ran at least once if just to get the ball in the center of the field.

Bill called that play but Nick should have either called time out of vetoed the call and run the ball to the middle as you stated. Of all the mistakes made on Saturday, that call at the time was a clusterfeck.

Zone read play to the left would have been awesome in that series . UT never really honored BY keeping the ball but man it would have gone for big yards all night . Just don’t think he likes to run it or is not comfortable with that play

We did the same thing twice against A&M forcing Will to kick from the far right hash.
