I want a coach that would go for 2-pts when already up by 27.

Yes, im talking about Jim Harbaugh when he was dominating USC last year and went for a 2-pt conversion when up 27 points just to make sure his team hit 50 against Pete Carrols trojan's.

Harbaugh exhibited excessive self confidence on Saturday when -- already up by 27 points -- he called a two-point conversion, intent on laying 50 on the Trojans.

That call irritated Pete Carroll, the Zeus of West Coast football. After the 55-21 destruction, the most points surrendered in USC history, Carroll greeted Harbaugh at the midfield handshake with the testy question: "What's your deal?"

Harbaugh, unbowed, replied, "What's your deal?"

I no the article is a year old, but it is still very relevant.

actually if you watched the game he was blowing Oregon out the first half until his player started handing the ball to the other team and the defense was just constantly tricked, but its STANFORD player we are talking about, not hardcore D-I powerhouse heavily recruited #1 in the nation players. we never said he was a defensive coach and if you watch the 4th qaurter in the Oregon game the offense went to the goal line twice for Luck to fumble the snap (sound familiar) and then for Luck to throw a INT, Oregon scored another TD in garbage time and it looked like a blow out. At least watch some highlights before commenting.

I watched the whole game. I've seen more Stanford games then you will ever see.

You're telling me you want a coach that can get up big early and not hold a lead? Stanford gets plenty of athletes. They just get smarter athletes. Bottom line is it was the biggest game of the year for Stanford, Pac10, national title implications. Stanford is gifted early points from Oregon to get a big lead and at this point the defense no longer has to play lights out, just the offense (his "specialty") has to play well enough to limit Oregon's possessions and he couldn't do that. FAIL

    • Me, signing up for FanDuel Network, and then canceling FanDuel Network:
    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
