Final: Louisiana vs. South Alabama

There was a typo in the chart. Apparently coaches use charts to tell them when to go for two or not. I was never a fan of going for two unless you are behind.

They should try basic arithmetic rather than a chart. But then again, I heard they take their iPhones away during the game.

Calm down everyone. So what if Hud went for 2?
Our kicker couldn't put the ball through the uprights if they were the width of the field Saturday night. That's the bigger issue. I can't blame Hud for going for 2.

Kicker almost cost us the game. And we still have 9 games left on the schedule. I hope it doesn't come back to bit us in the arse later on

Agree that victory bell needs to be louder!

That's not why he went for two.

Wow! If the play is executed properly it's an easy 2pt conversion and everyone would be proclaiming it an awesome play. McGuire messed up and didn't toss it.

The time out was a waste though.

He could have gone for 2 or not in that situation...we've all carried a situational chart in this business....improve and win, improve and win....that's all that matters.

If everyone would have gotten a free beer during that time out, everyone would be proclaiming it was an awesome timeout. But you would have messed up and spilled yours.

Ringing the bell was a waste though.

Sounds like a mantra that should be on each coach's situational chart, "improve and win, improve and win....that's all that matters."

---Had the thing I think memorized at one time---Can't remember the little notes on some that were interchangeable depending on the time remaining in the game, but there were some---This brings up the situation with HUD's handling special teams---think he should have someone full time for that!!! Just the organization, filling of spots, and actual coaching is very time consuming---not sure how they delegate, but punt and returns, kick offs and returns, offense and defense for all kicks (onside, touchbacks, etc) A whole bunch of crap to be a very much covered part of the game!!!

Hud just admitted we went for 2 in the 4th because the 2 pt chart in the game plan notes was wrong. Up 11 should be XP but the GA put a wrong chart in which called for going for 2 there. He said as soon as the game was over he went and checked it against last season's chart and sure enough it was different. He laughed it off because it didn't matter in the end, but they got that fixed.

They needed a chart for that decision???

Exactly what I was thinking.. But I think this is a pretty common practice.

Still though..

----If you would know the time that went into the preparation for the chart, you would appreciate the wisdom of its use----but like I had posted, some of the situations are an option-----Somebody should post it on here!!!

---Well the only option is with 4 points--all the rest from 1-20 are given---somebody put it on here so we don't second guess the rest of the year---well except for the 4 point situation!!! lol
