that’s his point.
Bama’s players are so much better than Ole Miss’, it really doesn’t matter. It’s probably going to be a blowout anyway.
There’s some idiot in this thread saying, “well, just lose 40 to 0, instead of 60-0,” like that means something. But that probably are you’re only two options for almost every team vs Bama. It’s not a reflection on the coach.
This is like doubling down when you have 11 in blackjack. It’s the right move to make. You do that if you’re actually playing to win. But if it doesn’t work, the loss is going to be greater.
I’m not going to fault a coach for actually playing to win and doing what every competitive advantage strategy says you should do if you’re trying to win.
