On what ended up being A&M’s game winning touchdown drive, Pittman replaced the entire D-line with second and third stringers who have hardly played all year.

Some people are calling it a head scratcher, to me it seems deliberate. He’s trying to get fired for the big buyout.

That's silly. You think Pittman told TWill to do that and TWill said "OK coach"?

If he's that smart, we should keep him.

Probably thought they'd be fresh or something misguided like that

Well Pittman is the head coach and TWill’s boss, so yeah.

I heard he kicked a puppy and punched a baby on the way out of Dallas.

My only regret is that I only have but one downvote to give.

This is HDN was having an affair with a reporter level conjecture. I love this rumor.

Despite all the conjecture about his abilities as a head coach, I still really do believe he much prefers winning.

It doesn't matter to him how the season goes. Getting paid is more important.

There’s no evidence to support that.

I didn’t mind giving the first team DL some rest but A&M was smart when they took advantage of it by running HUNH the whole drive so we couldn’t substitute. Things like that I wish we would think to do but we never do.

Smart teams fake an injury in that situation

No. We have two loses because of team mistakes. A suplex at Okie State and then several fumbles, interceptions, and bad penalties are why we aren't 5-0.

I think you are trying to use logic on an illogical situation.

That was on TW for substituted a third string true freshman for Jackson and Rhodes.

DJ Williams pointed this out and you cannot substitute this late in the game. The Aggies took advantage of this coaching error.
