Biggest frick up by a coach in the history of college football.

That was something.

I thought Clemson was going to repeat it last weekend when Etienne took that FG out of the end zone

Attempting a 57 yard FG is fricking up?

I hear so many people state what a moron Saban was for attempting that kick and have never understood that mindset.

Yea, it sucks for Bama the way it turned out, but it took one of the rarest plays ever to cause it to backfire.

Making a 57 yard kick is not even close to being impossible...especially when the kid routinely made them in practice.

And frick you for causing me to defend Bama.....

Someone on bama's staff should have noticed the players Auburn put on the field but attempting that kick to prevent overtime was not stupid.

Should’ve gone with a Hail Mary. And that’s not revisionist, it’s what I said at the time.

There was no way that kid was making that field goal.


You can also make the argument about the personnel used for the FG. Of course I probably would’ve gone with the big slow guys too. I would’ve been a lot more worried about a blocked kick than a return.

Ha...I’m sorry!

Let me help you out here...the decision to kick the FG may have not been wrong...maybe

But the outcome was 100% on coaching...bama was not prepared and it was obvious.

Don’t remember the details, but there were poor coaching decisions by Saban that led to that point also.

Also Saban was outcoached and fricked up the Unfair Game against Auburn.

The guy is not perfect and doesn’t lose very often, but he has often been directly responsible for his loses.

Alabama had a penalty at the goal line earlier in the game where an Auburn player did something to an Alabama player after the play was over, but the refs only caught the Alabama player. Alabama kicked a FG instead of getting a TD

The problem with the kick was not Coach Saban being outcoached, or anything like that. The reason why the kick turned into a TD is the Alabama players watched the kick instead of spreading out like they were taught, so out of position to tackle.

Bama also went for it on 4th and 1 from well inside field goal range while up 7 with only a few minutes left in the game. Not only that, but they ran the exact same play as the 3rd and 1 they had just run. Auburn stacked the box and shut it down. Granted, their kicker had missed a couple of field goals in the game, but still...

I understand your point, but I respectfully disagree.

If the players didn’t know what they were supposed to be doing...that’s on the coach.

He did have a timeout with the team on the sidelines before the play.
