I’ve watched him take those same risks and win a state title. Win some, lose some. That’s who he is, and I love the aggressiveness. I can live with the few times it doesn’t pay off.

Anyone thinking that going for it on your own 12 late in second quarter in a three point game is the right decision isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. It gave Tazwell three points and guess what? Without those three points, Richlands wins. Unchained and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I would have done it — I’m not a coach so I don’t pretend do know what all goes into those decisions. But I’m okay with the call if it means he does something crazy aggressive in the future and it wins the games lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said yourself you didn't think it was the right call so who exactly did I insult? It was one of the most puzzling, head scratching coaching decisions I've ever seen, ever. It ended up costing them the game, a coaching decision in the second quarter that has no backing in any kind of analytical decision making nor any kind of traditional football decision making. you can defend the decision, that's fine he's your coach and if you're willing to defend him even in such a crazy situation that's up to you. But you can't get pissy or sensitive when others question such an insane decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield researcher 1,197 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 There is aggressive and then there is just plain "stupid lapse of reason". I've done it. You've done it.

But that lapse of reason cost Richlands dearly and probably the game. I just don’t see it that way. He took a risk and clearly trusted his defense to hold them, which they did. I don’t think that call cost them the game. It’s early in the 2nd quarter and you have a whole game to change the outcome or that choice. If it was me, I would have taken the penalty yards on the play with 2 separate targeting calls. It makes it 2nd down again, but it’s 2nd and forever and maybe you don’t give up the pop pass to Jordan. But I don’t pretend to be a coach. So I won’t criticize him and run him down for making a choice to trust his guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
