Beck had some great calls, no question. But passing on 3rd and 6 with 3:30 left instead of rushing to kill the clock even if you dont pickup the first proved he doesnt grasp the management role yet.
That was questionable, and it was 3rd and only 4 not 6. I don't understand how the ball is not in your best player's hands in that situation. Give it to Ameer and let him make a play. As my grandpa always said, you dance with the one that brought you.
4 yards is even more clear you call the run. Like I said, even if your short, you still killed a minute or more by the time they get the ball back.
Beck still seems oblivious to these:
1) Setting up one play to run another
2) Calling plays/tempo to better manage the clock
3) Calling plays that will help the D ie eat the clock to allow them to rest
4) Calling plays to the strength of the team
5) Great calls with wrong personnel ie shuffle pass to Newby. I know he was completely over looked by D, BUT it was his first play of the bowl with the game basically on the line
6) He is barely a jack of all trades and is a master of none. We need an identity IMO
7) The TE's can actually catch passes
