My nominations:

-Kiffin eschewing the chip shot fg the 4th quarter of a tight game. Result: the inevitable failed 4th down conversion and UK only needs a FG to tie ( bailed out by D in the end)

-Stoops calling a QB run on a short yardage play when Rodriguez is gashing the Rebs D. Result: the first Levis fumble in scoring position (Does the second fumble happen without the first?)

-Pittman accepting an offensive penalty after a 3rd down stop by his D inside the 10 yard line. Next play, WR screen for TD to make it 28-0 Bama. (Likely doesn’t change the outcome, but I have no clue why you would do this)

- Harsin calling the pass play from his WR as AU is driving. Result: former LSU double agent hands the game to the Bayou Bengals. (Just facepalm worthy play calling)

I have to admit to not watching much of the MSU/Aggies game, so I’m sure Jimbo should be on here somewhere. Any other nominations?

I would rather blame (laugh at) Soy Moore for that play than Fartsin tbh. And Jimbo should make this list every week, just because.

I thought Harsin going for it on 4th and 10 was fairly bad too

Harsin is the default answer what a screw up he is

Drunkwitz running a hurry up into a false start at the one after a huge splash play to neuter momentum.

Pittman challenging a play that had already been reviewed

Big late period Les Miles vibes

I just bumped my old Fark Board thread where you painted the Ferrari and Magnum's cap, back in 2019. Time to work some magic against Tennessee, if you can help with your creative genius?

I think the Kiffin decision was more complex due to their kicking issues. by leaving the lead at 3, it leaves then the option of trying a field goal instead of a do-or-die touchdown drive with 4 downs to use- especially when there’s a good chance they’ll miss the tieing field goal.

so my vote would be for Harsin

Not only that, but burning a TO to do it early in the 3rd qtr. All he had to do was take the delay of game, back up 5byds and try and pin LSU deep. Defense was playing good.

I don’t think Kiffin made a bad call there. Up 6 you get beat with a TD.

Pittman is gambling a backup QB will make a mistake. He forgot who he was playing.

I’d give it to Jimbo, you can just replay the game and when you get to 10 terrible decisions just quit counting and laugh or cry depending on whether you’re an 8&4feit fan or not.

Write In - Scalamaga - or whatever Kentucky's Offensive Coordinator's name is. I've seen enough of this guy to last me a lifetime.

Harsin, I thank him for being so inept because LSU giftwrapped that game for the barn. As they say: You can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

The SECrant servers don’t have enough storage to list all of his bad decisions.

Hartsin has so many to choose from. My favorite;

Auburn up 17-7 with 1:45 left in the 2Q. LSU has the ball first and 10 at the LSU 20 yard line. After both first and second down Hartsin is frantically calling timeouts because he thinks a 10 point halftime lead isn’t enough.

LSU picks up a first down on 3rd down, and then eventually scores a td with 15 seconds left and heads to the locker room at 17-14.

Thanks for saving the time for us Hartsin.

Edit: AU coach won’t even last long enough at Auburn for me to learn his name. Does he make it to the Georgia game?
