A smart coach would have told the defense that he trusted them and "put it in their hands" to hold a 14 point lead.

Nah, he told the D; if the O doesn't convert this; I trust you to hold. The D answered with a hold, but Zims (didn't trust his D) and went for it on 4th down. 


Here's a "not smart" coach doing the exact same thing:
