    No need to punt. ECU was in FG range.









    Fired. At. Midfield.

    Even my wife was asking why they don't kick the FG.

    I actually don't mind them not kicking the field goal. In that situation the only way you can lose is if they drive the field with less than ten seconds and no timeouts. Odds of the kicker missing it (which ended up being about where he got sacked) or having it blocked are too high to risk it.

    Should have been a designed scramble punt. But under duress you never really know how a player is going to react so i wouldn't have hated on a directional punt out of bounds. Either way, you can't fault Pete for running the rock when you see shit like this.

    You can fault him for not calling timeouts with time on the clock. But let's not beat a dead college doog.

    I personally kick the FG but a punt would suffice. Whatevs.

    The last thing you do is take a designed quarterback sack. The fact that Hail Mary was even attempted is just cause for him to be canned.

    I think my biggest beef with the Cooper fumble play is that they ran it at all. When the offense ran to the line with like 17 seconds left on the play clock, I was screaming at them to get back into the huddle, let the clock run down to 1 sec. and call a timeout. Then if he decided he wanted to run one play, I wouldn't have had such a beef with it. But I just knew, at that point in time, Miley was going to fuck up with 17 seconds to not snap the ball. And he did, snapping the ball with 7 seconds. (Which he also did 4 plays earlier, with 8 seconds on the clock)
    Cooper fucked up by fumbling, but Pete fucked up by not coaching.

    It was a "shit happens" play, simple as that.

    Bingo.

    And notice that recently Miley has done a far better job in those situations of snapping the ball with 1 or 2 on the clock.

    I'm more than 81% sure that Petersen had coached Miley in these situations ... but sometimes you need to get punched in the junk before the message really sinks in.
