Best, worst NCAAf coaches re: ball control, clock management?
Posted on 10/4/16 at 3:10 pm

There are so many different situations in Ball that require ball control and sound clock management. Are there any coaches that stick out as being exceptionally good or exceptionally terrible at this?

Charlie Strong is exceptionally horrible at clock management.

Mark Richt had a lot of clock management issues his first few years.

You only notice terrible clock management so picking a good one is tough

This. It's been poor his whole tenure at Texas and amazingly bad last Saturday.

Urban is pretty damn good with clock management. They had a drive at the end of the first half last Saturday that was a textbook example.

That's a good point. When I think of "good" it comes with a specific situation:
Ex: up by 10-16 pts, 2nd half against a decent opponent. Who's the best at keeping control of the football and running the clock?
-Saban
-Paul Johnson
-Muschamp
-Paul Chryst
These coaches come to mind, but is it due to their skill as managers or more due to the fact they have the personnel to execute?

Bill Snyder was the first to come to mind for me

Larry Blakeney was horrible at this. Up 31-3 on LSU at halftime back in 2008, and he keeps running the same old dink and dunk spread passing offense. Except receivers kept dropping passes and stopping the clock. 1st and 10, incomplete. 2nd and 10, incomplete. 3rd and 10, run up the middle, punt. You took 40 seconds off the clock and gave it back while your D is gassed from a scoring drive. Rinse and repeat. If they had just run the ball every 1st and 2nd down they might have held on to win. And the one time the D actually gets a stop, our PR fumbles it inside the 5 and LSU recovers and scores. I've never seen anything like it.

See: Throwing the ball deep on third down vs Alabama in the Sugar Bowl when they didn't have any time outs.

To be fair, that may have been the only third and long we didn't complete that game.

Coaches that win a lot of games are generally good at clock management, and vice versa. Start there.
ETA: there are LESxceptions.

What do you think about Hugh Freeze? I always thought his offenses played too fast in the second half but I have a financial bias

That throw was actually on first down.

True. Point still stands, they only had two time outs.

No one outside of SC fans/opponents would notice because we're irrelevant right now but Clay Helton is easily one of if not the worst at this.
