Thought it might be fun to see some of the ridiculous coaching decisions each weekend.
The ironic part of some of the ones I will mention are that the idiotic coach got rewarded for it in some of these:
1. Bronco Mendenhall - Down a point with roughly 28 seconds to go (memory so might be off a few seconds) and first and ten at the BYU 35, Bronco ran the football. I don't mean the QB scrambled, I mean they actually called a running play. The play design was to the middle of the field as well. In other words, he wasn't very likely to end the play out of bounds. He made a 16 yard run which stopped the running clock at the first down but had he been stopped for 9.5 yards or less you are basically relegated to cmich vs wky hail mary and laterals to have a shot at winning. As it turns out he got into hail mary range and they got it and he won. He then ran around the field like a chicken with his head cut off. Nice attempt at not getting your team a shot at that hail mary, Bronco.
2. Harsin to end first half. I could probably pick five or six idiotic things from Harsin that game. Washington put their entire defense in the box to stop the run the second half and Harsin never attempted to make them pay the price. But this end to the first half was a gem. He managed to find a way to only have two plays before kicking the fg.

Tyler Rausa 24 Yd Field Goal
3. Babers goes for it on fourth down at his own 13 yard line in the second quarter when trailing just 21-10. You can read what I just wrote again. It wasn't a fake punt either. He ran the ball straight ahead. I am not making it up for those that missed it. Here is the play by play
[h=3]3rd and 10 at BGSU 6[/h]Matt Johnson pass complete to Travis Greene for 7 yds to the BwGrn 13
[h=3]4th and 3 at BGSU 13[/h]Travis Greene run for 18 yds to the BwGrn 31 for a 1ST down
[h=3]1st and 10 at BGSU 31[/h]Matt Johnson pass complete to Gehrig Dieter for 38 yds to the Tenn 31 for a 1ST down
[h=3]1st and 10 at TENN 31[/h]Matt Johnson pass complete to Gehrig Dieter for 31 yds for a TD, (Tyler Tate KICK)
