This will fuel the anti-Pittman fire.

As it should

I'm pretty sure if Bobby wanted James playing, then James would have played. 

I guess you guys want Sam dictating who Bobby plays.  But then, as soon as that happens yous guys will bitch about Sam meddling in the offense.

Fuck James if he portals.

you could have stopped there, but some posters will never admit it.

I figure it really comes down to if they are paying XYZ guy then he's gonna get the snaps. Also for all we know James hasn't exactly lit it up in practice and maybe when they got thin on players he was getting added attention and reps and took advantage of his opportunity.

Amen. If he was all that Petrino would've played him.

That is what I suspect or he didn't know the play book early on was pushed back on the depth chart.

[Pig Benis]

When did BP become head coach?

Do y'all fault Pittman for anything?

[Pig Benis]

And it fucking has.

It's insane that Bobby Motherfucking Petrino is stalking the sidelines and we refuse to even consider giving him the reins.

100%

i wasn't blaming petrino, weird that you would go there.

both him and pittman have stated, multiple times, that petrino is in charge of all things offense. that includes who sees the field based on his evaluations. some posters just want to ignore that and automatically blame pittman. and if someone does point it out petrino's involvement, they are somehow 'not blaming pittman for anything' or voicing support for him.

[Pig Benis]

Fair enough. That wasn't really my point. If BP is de facto HC, why the fuck are we paying Pittman and what the fuck does he actually do to earn his salary? Why not eliminate the middle man and go straight to the conclusion that we all seem to agree on?

What purpose does Pittman serve? Serious question.

Kinda the point I've been trying to make. I don't think he brings much to the game. I think he relies heavily on his coordinators which is exactly reflective of our record since he's been here.

i'm not going to argue with that.

Postgame Missouri, Pittman made comments about telling Bobby that he had timeouts to use if he needed them.

That doesn't suggest Bobby has full control of the offense.

So, why didn't he use them? BLS is the head coach! Again, he has no feel for the game.

The head coach and the coordinators should be on the same page during the game. Apparently they are not.

so if i'm reading that right, pittman told petrino that he had time outs if he wanted to use them, but because petrino didn't say he needed them, it shows petrino doesn't have control of the offense?

It sounded clear Sam was in charge of rationing them, like the decision couldn't be made on the field. 

If Bobby was in control there wouldn't need to be a conversation.

I interpret that statement as just the opposite.  Sounds like Bobby was in control.

[The Whyte Boar]

Sounds more like Pittman trying to weasel it out there, "Hey, that was Bobby's fault not mine."

as did i.

too confusing for my current state of mind.

Another, "I didn't know what to do," situation.
