WTF coaching moments from the UT game?

There were several head scratchers for me (i.e. terrible, "I'm in over my head" coaching moments for our 'head coach in training'), I'll start:

- Clock management on the last drive w/ 2 timeouts....(which led to the game winning play...which should have never happened - I expected a 60 yard Eddy P FG attempt).

3rd and 19 for the Vols, what are 1 and 1a to cover in that situation? A draw or a screen. Yet somehow our coaches don't understand that.

In all of my years watching football, I don't recall what I saw at the end of the game. Allowing the clock to go from 34 to 9 seconds while still having 2 timeouts blows my mind. Danielson was the same way.

Towards the end of the game we lined up in a jumbo formation on 1 st down. UT had 10 men in the box. Franks had just finished a solid drive. Instead of allowing him to keep the rhythm, you do that? Huh? Spread it out.

Shannon needs to e more aggressive. This d-line is not good enough to just rush 4 90% of the time.

Volts have 2nd and 10, gain 4 yards but are flagged for illegal forward motion. We decline the penalty and opt for 3rd and 6 vice 2nd and 15.

Mac claimed that he thought Franks got the 1st down on the scramble( honestly I thought at least a measurement would happen), but it's still inexcusable.

I was going to start a thread entitled Dumb and Dumber regarding the coaching, but I just got home from the game and I will get my thoughts together. Needless to say both Butters and Bytch Jones are laughable head coaches. BTW has Jones been fired yet? More to come! Oh and we still need a new head coach as well!!!!

Well, here the clue, if the refs blew the whistleto stop the clock then he got the first. If you call that TO, and a replay shows first down then youd get the TO back anyway with the time back on the clock. If not, well you needed the TO anyway.

We were lined up in a goaline heavy before. He was runnimg the clock out, dude.

Boys, Butch was even worse than Mac. First and goal 2 times and they don't run the guy that was killing us one time. Instead they pass with a kid that sucks in his third career start. The Voles should've never left any time on the clock to end the game, either. Mac sucks, is in waaaaay over his head but could you imagine watch a 5th year of Butch? If either coach was worth a f*ck, they would've blown the other team out.
