Half way through the Women's World Cup Greg Ryan's decision to replace Hope Solo for Brian Scurry in the Semifinal of the Women's world cup. Hope Hasn't allowed a goal in the last 3 games almost 300 minutes of soccer. Ryan backs his decision with saying scurry has better reflexes. Actually, the fastest he has ever seen. Well one of those goals that happened in the first half will he focused on when this game is over. No matter what happens in the second half, his decision will always be questioned. So what are some of the other worst coaching decision ever? Here is a couple:
Barry Switzer goes for it on 4th down. Dallas has the rock on their own 29 and the score is tied 17-17 between the Eagles and Dallas. Dallas goes for the 1st with 4th and about a foot doesn't get it and turns the ball over for a Gary Anderson game winning field goal.
A miracle was maybe not so miraculous. The US won the 1980 olympics. With the score tied 2-2 at the end of the first period, Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov benched Vladislav Tretiak, the best goalie in the world, for reasons that are still unknown. The U.S. won, of course, 4-3. Tretiak, who led the Soviets to gold medals in the 1972 and 1976 Olympics, says he still doesn't know why it happened. One of the worst coaching decisions ever. You read about this one Greg?
other short examples
Babe Ruth the most dominating pitcher in baseball moved to outfield. Yea, because fat outfielders are better than fat pitchers.
The decision to cover Michael sir royal airness Jordan by Bryon Russell in game 6 of the finals.. Yea great call, add another ring to his second hand.
Anyone have any to add?

I am Superfan
Super Fan- A person or persons who believe in their sports team to win and that they have an effect on their winning; Mostly a fan of sports teams but any person who is willing to dress not normally (for sports commonly face painting and body painting) for the sake of the team, book, or movie would be a super fan; A person who will pull the sake of the good from a 45-0 lose of their favorite team.
I am Super Fan, my obsession for my teams and total lack for normal human behavior never goes unappreciated.
I am Super Fan, if you put my team against a natural disaster such as a Tsunami or Hurricane, I would pick my team to not only cover the spread, but win convincingly.
I am Super Fan, if I felt like wearing a clown mask, my teams jersey, and no underwear to the game would help my team win, I would.
I am Super Fan, I am the guy that you had to move your kids away from to enjoy the game.
I am Super Fan, I hate your team, but not only do I hate them, I hate their families and hope that their children lose use of important body parts so they can't follow in your foot steps.
I am Super Fan, I will believe that my team will make it when they are 7 games out with 15 to go, when they have no shot and you give them no shot.
I am Super Fan, the leader of the good people, the people that cheer for the same team I do, the developer of youth in possible Super Fans of the future.
I am Super Fan, the guy who sits in the same seat, with the same jersey and same underwear in hopes that it will inspire my team to win.
I am Super Fan, I will bring a jersey out of retirement, a Mike Mamula jersey for that matter, in hopes that it will bring a W on this weekend.
I am Super Fan, I have so many more Holiday's than you do, every weekend, every weeknight every day that my team plays, aren't you jealous?
I am Super Fan, and your not, you never will be, and I am better than you.

Here are a few:
- 2003 ALCS Game 7: Grady Little leaves Pedro Martinez in for a few batters too many in the 8th inning. Boston blows a 5-2 lead and eventually loses on Aaron Boone's game-winning home run.
- The entire 2007 MLB season: Willie Randolph regularly uses Guillermo Mota, a horrible relief pitcher. On Sept. 27, the Mets' division lead over the Phillies completely evaporates (that night, not because of Mota; however, his terrible pitching cost the Mets many games). Who knows what will happen this coming weekend, but ... still, Mota is the worst pitcher in baseball; that's all there is to it.
- Not sure about the years of these, but anyone who has ever coached or had anything to do with the development or drafting of Aaron Brooks, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Cade McNown, Ricky Williams and Mike Williams needs to be severely reprimanded.
