The man is 69 years old.
Arguably, his sloppy game management led to Dallas getting a pivotal punt block.
Whether it is BB himself or McDaniels is up for some dabate, but either way a coach is ultimately responsible for what his OC does, so I will put it on BB here. The conservative offensive play calling often seems designed, not to protect his rookie QB, but rather to put his rookie QB in difficult third down situations.
Finally, was it not obvious to BB in the OT that his defense was gassed? He had to know the chance of NE getting the ball back was vanishingly small, yet he chose to punt instead of going for it.
I think maybe BB is in the "I want to coach with my kids before I hang 'em up" phase of his career.
