For Arkansas it has to be Reggie Herring against Missouri in the Cotton Bowl in 08.

He called a fake punt with Reggie Fish running to the edge and we didn't get the first down but there was either a flag on them and we moved closer but didn't get the first or the flag was on Arkansas and backing us up.

What happens next? We run another fake punt but this time Fish pitches it Farrod Jackson in the middle of the field who was pretty much a stump of a fullback.

I said then that was the worst call I'd ever seen in any sport ever.

What yall got?

What was also hilarious is the commentators joked about us running another one. Saying "Yeah, I wonder if they might do it again, surely Missouri will be looking for it etc)

then we did

That was the worst one I ever witnessed in person.

This year's BCSNCG --> pure genius playcalling. Dives up the middle with 5 mins left in the 4th. Now that's coaching!

Bama 4th qtr comeback from 4 TD's down and got called out of bounds vs PSU 1983 losing 28-34. Last TD was clearly in bounds after replay but that was long before they could change the call with video.

Next one was 64' (Jan 1 65') orange bowl. Namath swears he got in endzone on 4th down QB sneak play but the video of the day is not clear. I do remember as a kid hearing about it a lot.

Just kidding. But the OP is asking for fricked up play calls by your coach or any coach I guess, not calls by refs.

1999 AU vs Miss St game... Our defense had shut down the Miss St offense the entire game. We had scored a measly 16 pts (I could be wrong here) with our backup Richard Klein (who is the worst QB to ever put on an Auburn Tiger uniform). On Miss St's final drive Tubs goes in a prevent defense. They march down the field and score the game winning touchdown. I've never been a proponent of prevent defenses since.

In the 2006 LSU game, 2:00 on the clock, DMAC and Felix on the sideline for unknown reasons, and LSU with a 5 point lead, Hootie calls this crap for a 2 minute offense:
Four short passes...
1st-10-ARK27-2:00-C.Dick incomplete pass to the right
2nd-10-ARK27-1:52-C. Dick incomplete pass to the right
3rd-10-ARK27-1:46-C. Dick incomplete pass to the right
4th-10-ARK27-1:37-C. Dick incomplete pass to the left
...all short of first down

Casey Dick was 3 of 17 for the day and Hootie refused to put Mustain, Felix, or McFadden in for the series, with the game on the line.

ETA: We had the "OC of the year", i.e. Malzahn, in metaphorical shackles, looking on in helpless horror from the sideline. People should NEVER wonder why we can't stand that motherfricker (Nutt).

The second short punt formation play after the first blocked punt in the "Punt Bama Punt" game.

Surprised Arky fans haven't mention the play call in 1998 where they called they called the fumble-rooski with Clint Stoerner against UTK giving UTK the game and eventually the last challenge before their Natl Championship. That play was fricked up

This is easily the worst single call that sticks out to me for Bama.
