Offensive coordinator or head coach, he's ultimately responsible. Like people want to blame Pete Carroll for not giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, maybe that was the offensive coordinator, but you can't tell me that on a single play of that magnitude the head coach isn't aware.

As for mistakes on that final drive, even if we absolve him of calling the running play, they let the clock run all the way down so they could preserve their timeouts for giving the ball back to the Niners, and then threw all of that out the window. The running play, followed by going for it on fourth down again??? There's aggressiveness, and then there's just stupidity. The fact that it worked out and they scored the touchdown is pointless, earlier in the game when they went for it and the receiver dropped a fairly easy pass, it didn't change the fact that he should have gone for it. It doesn't change it here. When you're down 10 and it's fourth and goal at the 3 with under a minute left, why the hell are you going for the touchdown? I get the whole idea that a touchdown gives you a much easier play for a field goal, but if that doesn't work out, the game is over on the spot.

To summarize, bad play, bad clock management, overly aggressive decisions at the wrong times.

Jets fans recognize this stuff.

You also can’t run that ball off tackle from under center in that situation. It has to be a quick hitting run from shotgun if the QB sees numbers and you can jam it in easily.
