Just the opposite. Reckless coaching. Kirby will regret that decision for years to come.
But it reeked of desperation. He effectively told his team we can’t win toe to toe. They responded and agreed. A decent punt pens them inside the 20, with a less than perfect passer to lead the drive. In 2 minutes you could theoretically have the ball right baxk where you are.
I think beyond the reckless part of it, he’s clearly trying to find a role for Fields, who everyone knew shouldn’t go there. I counted three times Gary questioned the insertion of JF. He’s trying to appease a situation and it’s costed him.
