Stoops decision

I don't understand how Mitch hired Stoops when he clearly should have hired one of the couch coaches we have here.
You can argue all you want but at the end of the day they kicked a game winning field goal as time expired and that is exactly what you want to do.
There are positives and negatives to every situation and all of y'all saying they used bad clock management are only looking at the positive things that could have happened if they used that last timeout. They could have possibly gained more yards or possibly could have been sacked and lost yards or maybe there would of been a holding call or maybe an interception or maybe a fumble maybe we kick the field goal with time left and miss st returns the kick off or maybe the kick off is a touch back and they throw a Hail Mary and score and UK loses.
If any of those negative situations have happened all you Internet coaches would be questioning why Stoops called that last time out so it doesn't really matter what Stoops does because he will always be wrong and the internet coaches on here will tell him what he should have done instead.

I never thought I'd see another human being quote Roy Damn Mercer.
Not sure that it was that or confidence in team ... Two Point Conversion Chart says if down by two, go for two.
But you go with a plan that you think will work, and you can't deny a win is a win, and without the buts.
Not sure if that wasn't a read option. The main thing wrong with the play was the path Johnson took and not being able to get down to avoid the fumble!
Man, you want to know how big I am? Dude, try your pick up lines someplace else. Wow.
Think the first two of play was called in the locker room. "After we hit them for the td, let's go for two. And run this one. The first play set up the two"
Everyone complains stoops is too conservative, but when he does something of a risk it he don't make it people complain

Stoops is very " Charlie Strongish" great against weak competition and makes stupid dumbfounded decisions
I will be honest. I was getting a little ticked about the time management on the drive.
I don't think it was egregious but I am a "lay person" and I noticed it. Still, I thought the team executed like a well-coached team on that last drive so he deserves credit for that.
Big win. The blue kool-aid is ice cold and delicious and I think we win at Mizzou!
anybody can second guess a coach after the play is over.

Yes, but in all honesty, it would have been a circus tough-*** catch if he had hauled it in.
Tough? Maybe. I don't know if I would personally go as far as to say circus, though. He put his hands on it and even kept it alive for a bit longer. Again, jmo.
Semantics aside, I still like the way we handled it.
No. And the same goes for last year's drops.
It was a simple Go Route and the ball was over the shoulder and in step.
That catch is made every Saturday by a college wr.
