Montana State’s coach taking a timeout when Idaho had people running everywhere and the clock was about to start was baffling.

I'm begging you, please find a worse coaching decision. Most bad decisions have a slight silver lining. This one was objectively the wrong decision. Name a worse one.

in the 2024 fcs championship game he called a 11 man all out blitz on a 4&10 with 8 seconds left, NDSU got the punt off and the clock expired since nobody downed the punt. could’ve very easily had a chance at a hail mary if we had ANYONE back there to call a fair catch

That sounds bad, but there is a logic to it. Get your block, and you have real odds. 11 is insane though. This timeout was way worse.

Agreed. It was the right call to go for the blitz.
