Possibly the only head coach to lose a NCAA National Title AND a Super Bowl on boneheaded, coaching 101 screwups.

how did he lose the national championship on a boneheaded screwup?

Went for it on 4th down instead of punting late in the game. Gave tu a short field and Vince Young just had enough time to drive down and score the game winner.

I guess he thought, “Neal Brown, if you can’t beat him, join him”.

Maybe.... he also came down to USC and UCLA in recruiting, so it's possible he just heads up the 405 to Chip....

Just saw Robinson returning to UCLA for 2022.

And also having 3 NFL WRs to throw to and a NFL RB to hand off to….

Not mentioned enough.  With that offensive talent in a weak CUSA, not winning the conference is a failure.  Of course I didn’t think anyone thought all those guys were going to be on NFL rosters back then except the players themselves.

i think Texas is scoring if they get the ball either way. VY was unstoppable that night...

He might have, hence why you punt the ball and try to pin them deep.

If Lendale White gets that first down, VY may never get the ball in his hands again.  With the advantage of hindsight, it obviously wasn't the right call; but it certainly wasn't a stupid call under the circumstances.  Lendale White had been money on 4th and short all year long.

Plus VY had the zebras helping him out.
