I agree Honzie. People all over the coutry are yelling at the TV to call a timeout yet this genius just lets the clock run.
I think people like us notice it more than most fans. I would tend to think gamblers watch a lot more football than most others.
But yeah we see it every week and we will see it on Sunday.
An assistant coach needs to make him aware,this is more true in basketball.
But we are on the couch with just our best interest in mind i.e. our money,while the head coch is multi tasking and clock mgt is just one of them.
Thats why an assistant has to get in his face and give him the senario and call the fucking T.O. dumb ass bastards.

I've read dozens of posts like this where people don't comprehend the "why" in these situations. In most cases coming down to the wire you don't want to call a timeout and let the offense have time to go over several plays with the coaching staff. More times then not they'll make better plays after a timeout then if not. However, this is usually the situation with "UNDER" a minute left in the game.
The game last night had well over a minute and I agree Meyer made a mistake, but for the other dozen or so posts like this one the coach didn't make any mistake, the averge fan just doesn't understand why a coach would not call timeout. It honestly isn't rocket science and it doesn't make you a good or bad coach either way. There's a hell of a lot more to coaching them something like that. I'm sure it was mentioned to Meyer by some of the other coaches as it isn't something so "genius". He chose not to take the timeouts and not give LSU the luxury of going over a number of plays in a relaxed, non-chalant setting.....
But I still think with under a minute you don't take the timouts...make the offense go with a play they have to call prior to the playclock winding down and more times then not they may make a key mistake. With just shy of 2 minutes, Meyer, I agree in this game should of taken the timeouts.

By the way, I GUARANTEE had Meyer taken a timeout and LSU setup a sweet scoring play after -- the stories would be -- What a DUMKOFF Meyer is...he GIVES LSU the timeout to setup a play on his team...what a bozo he is.....more times then not you don't want the offense to have the LUXURY of using YOUR TIMEOUTS to setup plays...it's really that simple.
First of all, the coach needs to understand that in that situation that the opposition is at least going to tie or take the lead. Turning the ball over would be nice but you concede certain things and now your team needs to score again so time is the biggest ally.
There is not that much of an advantage in giving offense a timeout to go over plays. Both of those teams are very well prepared as to what the others tendencies are and so forth and chances are the play called in with no timeout will probably be the same play called with a timeout. Plus the defense benefits almost as much as the offense as they can get their act together just as the offense can. Again, you need the ball back and enough time to get downfield in a controlled manner.
You are right about one thing for sure: It is not rocket science and not difficult to comprehend. YOU NEED THE BALL BACK! THerefore you need some time on the clock so that you are not making desperate heaves into the end zone from midfield. Spend the timeouts there versus using when you get ball back . Too often coaches let the clock tick down and it hurts there chances in the end. THis is old football thinking and teams need to learn from this but they don't. They revert back to the way it usually done to cover their ass or whatever. In the end it hurts them.
actually, the only dumb fuck would be the same idiots that bitch and moan and don't understand shit about football. I played the game and only a total jackass would have sense to think a coach doesn't know he should or shouldn't call "timeout" at a specific time. Coaches make bad moves all the time, so do players.
It's the same bullshit threads everytime this situation arises and I explained WHY coaches don't always call timeouts -- only a complete and utter jacakass who has only played with his penus and a nerf ball wouldn't understand this.
For those who have a brain, an EXCELLENT example would be today in the FIRST HALF with the Seahawks and Steelers. Anybody watch that game? Both announcers - Aikman and that dingleberry Joe Buck after a Steelers Sack and having the Seahawks pinned back deep in their own territory on a 3rd and long kept saying "GEE, I DON'T KNOW WHY TOMLIN ISN'T CALLING A TIME-OUT" About 20+ seconds ran off the clock and the Seahawks converted a big pass play. 2 plays later they were in the Steelers Redzone but with ONLY 12 SECONDS LEFT.
Had Tomlin called that timeout (like those dipshits said he should of) the Seahawks would of been on the 15 with about 35 seconds left NOT 12 SECONDS. Hasselbeck knew he only had a couple of plays max and what happens...he THROWS A PICK TO IKE TAYLOR, that's what happens.
The end of a first half is no different then the end of the game. LSU made key plays throughout that entire game and only a total jackass would say "MEYER" blew the game.
