Yeah, but saying they should go for it is not why he's good at his job. For years analytics guys have wanted coaches to go for it more on 4th and 1, even in their own territory, especially against elite offenses, and
especially when giving the ball back to the best QB in the world needing only a FG to win. You can say great job by Butker and had he missed Lynn would be a genius, but Lynn was actually making the wrong percentage play punting it. Not like it was 4th and 15, you have a mobile quarterback to boot, get him on the edge with options and it should be a 90% at worst play. This is what separates mediocre coaches from great one.
