    Most coaches are jocks who are good at teaching football to players but suck at basic math and simple game theory logic. They can teach proper form on route running & tackling but most coaches would split two 5’s in blackjack.

    one of the most ridiculous endings of all time

    they lost like 20 yards taking knees and then he gives marshall a chance to win with 8 seconds left by having the punter take a safety from the 25

    he definitely shouldnt have touched it on twitter

    they asked andy reid about the end of MNF and he just laughed and said he didnt know anything about that, he just wanted to get home alive or something to that effect

    this looks very fishy, then kiffin basically admits he did it on purpose on twitter

    I actually thought it was right play. Pouring rain there so that's why they weren't handing off. Qb was trying to wait as long as he could before taking knee hence so many lost yards (he just ran backwards and tried to stay up as long as possible). Taking safety ran more time off clock and gave them free kick instead of punter being rushed and possibly blocked. From a un biased football perspective he likely played it right.

    Seems the general public jumps straight to the " political" environment now .
    Investigations galore on everything .
    They know the lines , they know what can / will affect , half the viewers are watching because they have cash on it .
    No big deal , he can easily say someone told him that detail after the game what that created , then it's a non story .

    The self absorbed prick googled himself after the game. Then tried to act cool about
    the spread cause he almost fukked up.

    David PurdumESPN Staff Writer


    A Florida Atlantic spokesperson says coach Lane Kiffin was joking Friday night when he tweeted about a late intentional safety impacting the betting result in the Owls' victory over Marshall.

    Florida Atlantic, which closed as a 6.5-point favorite, owned a 30-23 lead with 14 seconds remaining when Kiffin opted to concede a safety rather than risking a blocked punt deep inside the Owls' territory.

    Kiffin took to Twitter after the game and, according to the school's spokesperson, joked about the Owls not covering the spread with their 30-25 victory.

    Kiffin told reporters after the game that a clock-management miscalculation from the coaching booth on Florida Atlantic's final possession left the Owls with a fourth down on their own 24-yard line with 14 seconds left. Owls punter Ryan Rickel ran out of the back of the end zone for a safety, and Florida Atlantic bettors went from winners to losers.

    The rat poison is to troll Nick Saban who has used that reference before to complain about previous coverage of the team (Kiffin has used that term before in previous tweets).

    The line was 7 for most of the day Friday and all night leading to the game.

    Why does a guy who does not even know what team he coaches make stupid posts like this? He Coaches FAU, NOT FIU. He also was never the HC at Alabama.

    It was the right play like when Harbaugh declined the safety for the 49ers.

    the saban reference was about the media making players egos inflated so i assume in his joke he meant he didnt want to cover so ppl wouldnt be overly praising his team.

    Grown fukkin men can answer for themselves if they tail losses , you included .


    Lol Wtf r u talking about? I'm saying the prick lost either way and the safety had no effect. Btw it wasn't poor record keeping, it was purposeful misleading, he said so himself. U still drunk from last night?

    He was so obviously taking a jab at the people complaining and tweeting. "it's like, yeah dumbazzes, i'm taking a safety not to cover". He has a job as a football coach and they are complaining he won and didn't cover. use some common sense lol.

    The bad beat was FAU mismanaging the clock. They weren’t taking knees because of the rain, it was because the bonehead coaches led by Kiffin can’t count.

    He had janikowski attempt a 76 yard field goal the day before he got canned from Oakland knowing he was going to get fired. Legendary

    From what I was reading, it was -6.5 mostly (and I read some people complaining they had -6) but I stand corrected.

    He was mocking Saban by implying that he didn't want to cover so his players wouldn't get the big head as if they are anything special. He didn't want his kids reading their own press because it's poison.
