I LOVE this. Just admit you made a mistake and move on. Easy to own up to a simple mistake.To his credit(?) he admitted today that he should have taken the penalty (although I wonder what the numbers say between 3rd and 10 vs 4th and 2).
That said, admitting that he made a bad decision because he got frustrated won't do much to dispel feelings that he's out of his depth as a HC.
He coached a good game. His team stayed with and even had a lead on the road in a game where his starting QB went out and he was left with a fourth round rookie who isn't a viable starter. He has to deal with the Houston FO/Owner who won't allow him to play his troubled QB.
Without a doubt he made a mistake and I can't give him enough credit for owning up to it. Rare thing in today's world and gets my respect.
