My guess is there is a sweet spot for punting/onside kicking
It's definitely somewhere between this guy and how ridiculously conservative most NFL coaches are. But I think the NFL guys should be soooooo much more agressive, just seems too logical to go for it in so many of these situations.

The Kevin Faulk 4th down play against the Colts tells you all you need to know about the situation in the NFL. Arguably the best coach in the league took absolutely withering criticism from virtually all corners - even though it was, IMO, the right decision. Very few coaches are going to have the sack to stand up to that scrutiny.

I agree with you that the NFL is preposterously conservative on this front. College too, really.
