Oh please. Another "You've got to be kidding" post.

Absolutely! You have a freshman quarterback and you want to make the game as easy as possible for him to develop. So what does Cumbie do-- have him drop back in the pocket with a poor offensive line and wait and wait for someone to get open 18 to 30 yards downfield. Why not predetermined quick Slants and the like that eliminate his progressions till the game slows down. I just don't understand it.
Different circumstances. The end of the first half and the end of regulation aren't even the same. Do you know how much GP would have been roasted if TCU had thrown an interception on that last drive and Baylor had kicked a field goal?
I’d just like you to throw slants and attack the middle of the field for once, Gary. Or run to the left. Or get a clear offensive identity....
Gary, you have obviously forgotten the number 1 rule:
No One, and I mean No One is bigger than the program and that includes YOU.
"Next man up."
And that hurts me to say. But you have become a stubborn arse.
Well, that was pretty brief.You all are idiots. He is right. Y’all aren’t. You haven’t coached shat.

I tend to agree with him that you play for OT at home in that situation. We had something like 70 yards all half, we had zero vertical passing threat, we really going to do anything in 34 seconds? The risk / reward there is way out of whack.
That said, Coach often gets a bit too defensive in cases like this. No need to be so antagonistic.
CGP makes a defensible argument, whether or not I agree with it. What his argument doesn’t explain is why he pocketed all 3 timeouts / didn’t freeze a kicker whose career long was 38 and was trying a 52 yarder.
Those two decisions should’ve been linked.
I would have been absolutely terrified had roles been reversed and another team had 38 second and 3 TOs against our defense. Amazing we just mailed it in like that.
