It appears, if you go back and look at the play before the exchange, the defense was not set and at least half the players were looking to the sideline for guidance. That's on the coaches. I was told by a reporter friend of mine Stafford was yelling about how the defensive coaches couldn't get organized and that is why the play failed.

Moments after his "conversation" with Stafford, Bo was talking to 
Compton, who was also rather animated (though less so than Stafford). In 
his post-game presser, Bo faulted himself for not getting calls in to 
the defense in a timely fashion. All of which lends credence to Jay's 
explanation. It could well be that Bo asked Stafford what happened on 
the play (PSU had scored a TD on a flat pass to an H-back), and Stafford 
told him. In any case, Stafford played the rest of the game, so it 
obviously wasn't a big deal to Bo.
