Do dropped passes and missed blocking assignments resulting in fumbles count as "stupid calls?" That is what lost the Iron Bowl.
So you would have not cheered if Prothro catches the pass for a touchdown against Florida last year, but because he broke his ankle it is Shula's fault?
What a fine line to have to walk for a coach.
We were winning the game, it wasn't even close. We go for it on 4th down in field goal range and Prothro gets hurt. Yes, that's a stupid call by the coaches and they are responsible for his injury. To be honest, I'd rather lose every game of the season than have unnecessary injuries like that.
