We can be happy we won but still admit it was misplayed. We gave Arkansas a shot at a kick return and a hail mary against our defense that had been struggling.

This is correct. It was miscoached, but it wasn’t a big deal. Their chances increased from 0% to 0.1%. Not good coaching but not terribly important when compared to the fabulous coaching and play calling that got us to the seven yard line with complete control of the game.

We were 17 point favorites the mismanagement of the time outs and clock were icing on the cake.

Also hard to win titles when you can’t do basic things like clock management

I see it differently. I view this as terribly important. If you have complete control of those odds (near 0%, barring a FG block or fumbled hold, but this doesnt change your decision if you are kicking anyway), you take them. The situation was straightforward enough that fans in the stands were bewildered and frustrated with this as it happened in real time. How does a coach making $10 million a year not handle this correctly?
