“I see nothing wrong with the decision. If they score a TD, and Shanahan goes for 2 and gets it, then he's a genius.”
Since his players didn’t know the rule/rules, it doesn’t seem like this was a genius move. IMO, your team should be in on such a move. Now if the team was all saying it was discussed and everyone understood the risk/reward’s and all were 100% behind it, that’s a different story.
Needless to say he’s still a good coach. .
