The decision to kick a field goal with 1 yard to win on 4th down alone disqualifies Narduzzi. Here is why:
1. He could either try from the 1 yard line with a W or he could try for a tie, win or loss from the 4 yard line. That is like throwing away an ACE when you have royal flush and hoping you get a 9. NO ONE WITH A BRAIN ADDS 3 yard from the 1 to the 4 under any circumstance let alone removing a certain W if you score in exchange for a tie or worse.
2. But I don’t attribute that decision to poor poker. It’s worse. I do not believe Narduzzi (and never will) knew the OT rules. He had no idea or did not think it through before he called for Saul and he did not know when they called the trick play.
Narduzzi’s demeanor and words after the game admit as much. That he pulled out the “feel bad for our seniors” gimmick offends me and should offend any player.
The man is 2 games above 500 against P5 teams. After 10 years and 2 miserable seasons in a row with the clear inability to spot QB talent is inexcusable. The man makes more than 6 million.
He is a thief.
