re: Strategies that football coaches should do but never do

. When you are down by 7 points late in a game and score a TD, every offensive player should have it ingrained in them that you will line up to go for 2 without hesitation. The opposing coaching staff and defense - stunned and with the game potentially on the line - will almost certainly burn an incredibly valuable timeout, which will obviously harm their chances of driving for a last-second FG and avoiding OT. If the defense calls your bluff and doesn't burn one of their timeouts, you can simply burn yours, which is essentially worthless seeing as you are about to kick off and there's only a minute or so left. You then kick the XP.
I like this idea.
If I were a coach I would angle-shoot at every chance to force every opposing team to burn 2nd half timeouts.
I would do lots of wacky special teams formations like swinging gates for 4th and shorts, unexpected onsides kick formations, and lining up in a wildcat formation on a FG attempt with my kicker on the field.
Second half timeouts are supremely valuable so why not coax your opponent into wasting them on bullshite plays?
