I agree that he has built a helluva program. The only thing that he ever did that I was very critical of was going for it on 4th and 5 with 2 minutes left in the first half at midfield in last year's NC game when we were already down 14-3 BUT we were going to receive the 2nd half kickoff. He didn't make it and NDSU took it in to go up 21-3. Everyone knew that Tommy would get going and he did and we ended up losing by only 3 points. If we had punted I'm convinced we would have won that game. However, beat Illinois State in Nashville and I will never mention this again.

Tired of this criticism. He wants to control going into halftime and coming out.
He makes this 1st down and gets a score, coming out at half we go ahead and crush ndsu's will to play.
But he didn't. The cats played lousy the first half.

If your only complaint is one play out of 72 games over the course of 5 years, that's pretty good. Maybe it's not worth dwelling on that play. Especially since it was a judgement call and many others think it was the right choice.
