Especially when you are deep in your own territory in an OT game in which your defense had already forced back to back 3 and outs, but you’d rather trust your offense than a defense that is doing a good job, or giving Brees 70 yards to drive instead of 30 to win the game.

Not punting in certain situations makes more sense as teams don’t want to give up a possession. Field position is not as important in high scoring games.

The man has won almost 70% of his games in the first 4 years coaching. That is impressive. How many of you critics can say that you have enjoyed the equivalent of that success in your own lives?

Maybe you should tell your O-line to be more aggresive. Why don’t you and Dimitroff trade away this years and next years draft to move up for DeCastro.

Going for it on 4th is SMART! Haven’t we all seen the documentary on the HS Coach who never punts and onsides every time? Its AWESOME

these are the two reason he’s still a HS coach.

You play good defense, take the points when u can get them and play field position.
