Mario Cristobal with the worst HC decision of 2023

[NYCCuse826]

This needed to be its own thread IMO. The way they lost this game because he tried to be too cute is something that causes a coach to lose a locker room.

 

[GreekFreak]

Wow! Unbelievable that someone who gets paid for coaching would actually make THAT decision.

 

[Bulldog04]

He said 4 times in his press conference “we had a good drive going”. Hey idiot the game is over lol you don’t need to score. I think the crazier part is the defense on the last play. What kind of call is that?

Also, he lost a game in 2018 at Oregon doing the same exact thing so it’s clearly a thing with him

 

[dwilmont44]

It's insane how much time and effort is spent watching film, coming up with a game plan, practicing, working out, all the logistics of a football game and it is all thrown away by a decision a 5 year old could make.

 

[UpstateSM]

He's the opposite of Dan Mullen. Pound for pound probably the best recruiter in college football but almost definitely the worst in-game coach in P5.

 

[PhatOrange]

These coaches are such narcissists they actually defend their insane decisions. Just when I think Babers can’t sound any dumber defending some of his decisions, we get this guy.

Bingo.

Football head coaches are complete lunatics with a God complex. All of them.

Most of them lack the ability to think on their feet. Probably because 98% of their time is spent working within the construct of a very rigid process.

I always remember how freaked Coach P would get when we had a Thursday night game. It’s like he couldn’t deal mentally with not being able to work through his normal Sunday-Saturday process.

Holy crap. I turned that game off figuring it was over.

Also, many of them are concussed.

 

[HastingsCuse]

Me too! When Miami made the first down I turned it off.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I called this right after the fumble...

Week 6 ACC/FBS Games for Oct 4-7

Hartman going to be having some nightmares tonight.

[SouthernCuse]

that was no fumble, a strip after he was down.
i suppose there is a replay that says different,
but they said that after our blocked punt call

 

[tbonezone]

you can file that one under "DOH!"

 

[RyanCuse44]

How do you think this guy felt?

Somewhere Joe Pisarcik is smiling.

Cristobal has a history of making bone-headed decisions yet somehow he's in demand from one school to the next. Two years ago at Oregon he punted to Britain Covey (Utah PR and one of the best in the country) with less than ten seconds left in the half instead of kicking it out of bounds. You know what happened next. He is a hideous HC.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

Cristobal is widely known to be an idiot.

 

[dasher]

I thought Jimbo Fisher at the end of the Alabama game was very bad as well. Not Miami bad, of course. That is in a league that even Dino hasn't reached yet.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It’s all about getting talent. Even meatheads can’t screw up talent. Some of them try really, really hard. I would love to see what Dino could do with top level talent.

Thoughts on the fourth and 6 punt yesterday dash? Lol

You’re not wrong about the narcissist part but it doesn’t take a narcissist to not admit they’re wrong after a bad decision. That’s most people, we don’t as humans don’t like to be wrong.

Stunned. Even for Dino.

 

[smartman]

As bas yesterday was for Cuse, think that Miami fans are hurting worse. Unreal

It was.

GT and Miami I don't think Greensboro favors either one. Chalk that up to usual ACC referee incompetence.
