That's the problem a lot of times. Coaches over complicate everything. If you can't look up at the score board and realize 11 points is a TD, 2 pt and FG; and kicking the extra point forces the opposition into having to score 2 TDs to beat you, something is wrong with that
What is the point of constantly doing math on the field when you can do it once, write down the situational decision and follow a simple chart? This is done by nearly every coaching staff in the country. Same way you have play charts based on down and distance. This is not something we only do here. Yes, maybe he should have caught it on the timeout, but the charts all had the wrong info. I put a lot of other failures on the staff, but this one was just a fluky thing
I agree almost every coach in the country uses a chart for this decision. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm having trouble buying that the chart was wrong. Especially, after his answer (I guess you can call it an answer) in the post game interview when he started rambling on about the NFL extra point distance.
using the chart as an excuse is lame, because I am sure there are times when you go against the chart? Oregon would go for two on first TD, no matter what, don't think that was supported by the chart
Live by the chart (insert conventional wisdom) die by the opponent knowing your every move.
I bet there's a chart on what play to call in certain situations.
Expose your chart loving ways and wonder why the defense knew your every move.
