Is he trying to prove to the players that he believes in them or something?
Doesn't that backfire pretty bad when the players see for themselves that they can't do it?

I would have kicked it, but had no issues with it because I saw no reasonable chance of winning.
That isn't a no brainier to kick the FG there

Once we got into the red zone, I did not have any problem with electing to take a shot for the TD. Still would have had time to recover a kick and take a play or two to get into FG position (without the Hail Mary). Take the FG right away and you still have to recover the kick and rely on a Hail Mary finish to Sutton. Of course, once Lasecki put that matador block on his guy and Davis took a sack...game was over

Yup, kick the field goal to have a chance to win on the on-sides kick 
Kick it as hard as you can trying to hit a middle up front Tulsa guy squarely in the head
He instinctively protects his head, and deflects it up in the air which causes CHAOS
We are expecting this and everybody is looking for the bounds of the ball.
SMU guy catches it in mid air, and races into the end zone for the victory
My Dad SMU 50 told me about this one back in the 60s, so Matty Bell probably tried it

May the forth be with us.

you still would have had to score at TD with NO TIMEOUTS after an onsides kicks so about 50-55 yards. You go for the TD but throw it in the endzone

Yup, throw it up for Sutton 3 times and see what happens. Matador block by Lasecki, but the QB just can't take a sack right there.
