What's the most bonehead decision by your HC?

It'd be nice to know that all coaches are idiots, and not just ours.


Mizzou: None of the 3 biggest TD threats from the last couple seasons are listed as the starter. Our only 1st Team All-SEC player is listed as 3rd string.

Depends on which head coach you're talking about, we've had like 8 of them recently

Since Malzahn hasn't coached yet, I'll go with Chizik:

Continuously starting Jake Holland

Continually trotting Cade Foster and Jeremy Shelly out onto the field to attempt long FGs against LSU in 2011 even though it quickly became obvious that we'd have a much better shot at picking up 3 or 4 yards on 4th down than either of them getting the ball in the same zip code as the goalposts on anything beyond 35 yards.

Saban hasn't really had a lot of WTF were you thinking moments. He has made a lot of decisions that didn't work out, but they weren't necessarily bad decisions.

Still, that will never top icing your own kicker.

Twice.

This will be hard for LSU fans - so many to choose from ;) Honestly, I haven't really seen a boneheaded move from Sumlin yet.

not our head coach (although i guess ultimately it comes back to him), but not cramming it down A&Ms throat with the run game from the 5 yard line last year.

Yessir. But it was more like 4th and an inch or two at most. Aggies were commenting about how lucky we were after that game, and especially how lucky we were that Freeze did that. A simple sneak would almost certainly have earned a 1st down.

I think Richt centering the ball on 2nd down and kicking the FG in OT against MSU has to be the pussiest/most boneheaded coaching call I've seen in a while.

More pussy than plain stupid I guess.

ETA: Chizik didn't have real boneheaded moments, we just look lost all of last season. Does 2012 count as a moment?
