Why is he getting a pass on his Miles-esque TO usage? Just because we happened to win?

He called a timeout on a play that was automatically reviewable in the first half. One might think he would realize what a fool he was being and turn TO calling duties to somebody with a brain, but nope.

Second half, he calls a timeout before Hartley's game-tying kick, effectively giving the 49ers the option to use the 2 minute warning to throw/run to the middle of the field and stop the clock.

Then he inexplicably calls a timeout at 2:01 and some people are praising him for this? I know this board doesn't care about things like statistics and percentages, but he traded a timeout to save 1 second. Had Kaep not matched his bone-headedness by running out of bounds, we would have had no timeouts for the final drive.

Pathetic for a coach earning a salary that big. More pathetic that there isn't more awareness in the fan base to demand an explanation.

You needed to post this here too? If you don't see how that worked out well, not much said here will change it.

the 1st half was inexcusable…but the 2nd half was genius

you have a 33% chance of it not working and 66% chance of it working
33% - 49ers actually need the time
66% - Saints need the time because of a Hartley miss or a Saints D stop

Didn't he call the TO with 2:01 left in the game right after we sacked Colin Kapernick to make it 2nd and 19?

He obviously was trying to get more time for the offense b\c our defense had been shutting them down all game.

You realize that outside of the one on the replay, the others had major reasoning and were the perfect calls with how things turned out?

He's not dumb, he's correct. I was pissed about the 2:01 timeout.

If in the end your team has enough time to get into position to win the game.


That's good clock management.

The first half one was to get the refs more time to think about a play that couldn't be challenged but could be looked at again by the refs.
