One of the ladies in HR that I work with is Danny Hope's cousin. We were talking about the big win today and all the close losses and the timeout at the end of Notre Dame game came up. She said that it was the offensive line coach who called the timeout and Hope was not happy about it. However, he knows his role as head coach is to take responsibility for his staff and take the heat for it. Glad to have confirmation of what a lot of us thought. My final takeaway... 1: The offensive line coach is an idiot. Or at least had an amazingly massive bonehead moment. 2: Hope deserves minimal blame for the timeout. There are other areas to be upset about (the unceasing turnovers come to mind) but that doesn't go on his bad list. 3: This instance shows a poise that's encouraging to see in the head coach. I'm glad he took the blame for it since it was his staff that called the timeout. I also hope that the offensive line coach had to run suicides with the players for an hour or two. |

My rebuttal? I don't have one, I still have no problem with the timeout, regardless of who called it. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

So Coach Hope is wrong? Shouldn't be upset? Just for the record. |

I think he should be upset with an assistant coach making that sort of decision at the end of the game. I still think the TO was a good play there, and if Hope thinks otherwise, I disagree with him. |

fair enough. But just for the record, now even our head coach disagrees with you. And he does know a lot more about football than you or I. |

Touche. I stand by my opinion though. If you think I'm wrong, then that's fine. I like the TO call there. |

That's fine by me. I think disagreement is a good thing. |

I was pretty certain it wasn't Hope that called it. And I certainly don't understand why the OL coach would be calling TO's with the defense on the field. I'd say Hope should be keeping a real close eye on him. |
