Too many to list. The Ole Miss clock debacle comes to mind though. Didnt he do something similiar vs. Auburn in his final game?

Saban’s decisions at the end of the kick six game.

Classic poor decisions and coaching.

Derek Dooley out-Les’d Les that one time with too many men on the field. Good times.

The worse coaching move has to be whatever the frick Les pulled leading up to and during 1/9/12.

I started this thread with those in mind. Some of Saban's in game decisions have been crazy.

CNS has had many odd to questionable kicking related STs calls, but that one was atrocious.

It is why I laughed at Cochran needing more time in the STs meetings to pick up on the nuances of the game... some better specialist training and resiliency docs (to help with the yips), plus some new perspective may not have been bad on STs

james franklin calling a run up the middle on 4th and 5 against tOSU last year

FSU coach throwing in the towel against michigan in the elite 8 when only down 4 with still 15 seconds left.

Les wasn’t very good. In fact too many too mention. Little Nicky didn’t have a very good year last year though. 12 men on the field negated a pick. Out coached by Malzahn kept him out of playoffs. Using Tua when miles ahead was a real boneheaded move.

Yup, I sometimes think Saban forgets the basics of winning football.

Burrow only threw that ball up because he knew it was a free play.

Hands down the fake punt. The other was the right call, just a fluke play.

Hindsight says, yes, maybe have a couple extra athletic guys on the field but, oh well.

The fake punt was awful. It is up there with the fake punt on the opening offensive series vs Texas in the BCS NCG that was intercepted.

In contrast, the on-side kick to Humphrey in the NCG was a thing of beauty. But, I that is the catch 22 of it all. Brilliant when they work, not so much when they don't.

That said, I still have yet to see what they were seeing on that fake punt call.
