4th and 1.... should we go for it?

the rams are the best example but I think the trend will continue

 

I don’t like sitting on it to end the first half. I’m ok punting on occasion. Field position matters.

 

Why?

 

I think he is breaking the coaches norms out there and making people look at the statistics of the choice between giving the ball up or trying to keep it. But I don't see a college or pro team doing what the high school team does on every change of position.

 

Probably so, the fascinating thing is he is very successful.

 

Yet, he is still only a high school coach.

 

Yeah I know. I wonder if it works for him because he just has the horses in the stable type thing. If the talent gap is big enough that would explain why his system works.

Wonder how many of his kids play at the next level?

 

Does he coach at a private school that can recruit players from all over the area? U High could probably take that approach and still win. Maybe Catlick High and John Curtis too.

 

I dont know, I remember starting a thread about it a year or so ago. The game I saw they were having their way with the other team iirc which led me to the better players thing. It obviously wouldn't work where it is apples vs. apples.

 

I think statistically it is probably sound. Too many coaches very risk averse.
