I can’t remember the first one.

We called the last two on a dead ball, and then to run a six inch QB sneak on fourth. Do I have that correct?
 
Babers has been absolutely awful with time management his entire time here. If he's going to keep his job Wildhack needs to force a time manager person on him.
 
We had to call one an the 2 point conversion because we were disorganized. The 1st two TOs were due to being disorganized and poor coaching. Don't mind the 3rd one.
That’s right. On a two pt conversion?! My goodness.

He is good at board games though.
 
He isn't a P5 level head coach, that much is evident after his time here at Syracuse. It's not IF he gets fired it's WHEN (yes we know it won't be after this season, everyone understands that).

P5 football is over his head. He can have a moment here or there and spring an upset vs a top team, he has proven that. But the day in day out grind of running a P5 program he clearly can't do. From a recruiting standpoint, from a development standpoint to a game day coaching standpoint.

Now it's a waiting game till he is removed from that position whether a year or two down the road. Until then, we wait.
 
that TO was a good call.

How? As a coaching staff make sure you have 11 guys on the field. They only had 10. Then, when the 11th guy ran on, they didn't know how to line up. NC State put 4 receivers out to the left and Cuse matched that with 3 guys. It was necessary to call it I guess, but it wasn't a "good" timeout.

Because they were going to score two. If a Dino didn’t call the timeout the last two plays would have been meaningless if down 9 points.

It was a bad TO because we should have been organized. The fact that we were disorganized makes it a bad timeout. On top of that a team should always be willing to take a penalty vs use a TO. As long as the penalty is not game changing. Whether on O or on D, take a penalty if it doesn't kill you. Logically speaking it is the right thing to do. But meathead coaches think in the now and never do it.
 
The timeout wasn't the issue. It was a good timeout, given the situation when it was called. Whether we should have gotten to that point, is another matter.
