a lot? is one a season considered alot? if so...could you name 8 questionable calls he's made?
don't mean to put you on the spot...but i hate when people say he's made "a lot" of questionable calls. its a myth. i can think of a few questionable calls and a lot of gutsy ones. there's a difference
Let me take a stab at it:
Fake Punt from 8 in his first game at ASU
Fake Quaterback wham throwback against Auburn in 2007 on game winning drive. It worked (only because Keiland made a helluva play) but was an insane call in that spot and honestly should not have been called.
Tunnel Screens during the 2 minute drills of the following games:
Ole Miss 2009
Penn State 2009 (technically 2010 bc of bowl season)
HB Swing during the 2 minute drill against Arkansas 2009 (only not an unmitigated disaster because Ridley "got out of bounds")
Fourth down on last possession against Auburn 2010 burned a timeout and still didn't have a good play
Not going for two against Auburn in 2007 after D Byrd score
Sitting Chuck the Truck against UK in 2007
Letting J Lee throw to open OT in 08 Bama game
Halfback draw against UGA in 2009. It worked but was absolutely the wrong, half-baked call.
Going for two against UF in 2010.
UT 2010 debacle (bailed out because they have Dooley lulz).
Mismanaged timeouts in 2009 (well documented)
Those are a few off the top of my head. Love him, but there is a basis to say questionable play calling.

Tunnel Screens
quote:what's the problem here? swing pass in the 2 minute drill is a legit call unless the back forgets to get out of bounds. fail
HB Swing during the 2 minute drill against Arkansas 2009
quote:don't act like this never happens to other staffs
Fourth down on last possession against Auburn 2010 burned a timeout and still didn't have a good play
quote:don't know the circumstances on the sideline. may have been a reason not to that we're not aware of.
Not going for two against Auburn in 2007 after D Byrd score
quote:again, i doubt you know more than miles in this case. he might have had a good reason.
Sitting Chuck the Truck against UK in 2007
quote:did the ot register as an eligible receiver? did lee run the wrong play?
Letting J Lee throw to open OT in 08 Bama game
quote:what's the context?
Halfback draw against UGA in 2009
quote:again, we don't know what was happening on the sidelines
Going for two against UF in 2010
quote:legit
UT 2010 debacle
quote:other than the ole miss game?
Mismanaged timeouts in 2009
quote:you could pick apart any staff and come up with the same number. you're off base
