Do you think that was good coaching?  Good game management?  Did it give Stanford the best chance to win?  [Recall that it took a brain fart by opposing QB - who ran the ball in-bounds with no timeouts left, iirc - for Stanford to hang on for dear life].  And there are many more examples in Ws and Ls.  

Do you think that teaching your players not to run the ball inbounds with no time outs left is not part of coaching?  Does the fact that Stanford won by having fewer of those bonehead plays might not count?  I mean, I'd rather a coach who packs it in for two quarters and nearly loses the game than a coach nearly comes back to win it until one of his players commits a boneheaded play.
