How about every single time
Interesting story, apropos of this 4 part study which tackles the problem of when teams should be going for it. it's a great read for the more analytically minded football fan out there.
there have been a few of these studies, and they all say the same thing really: coaches should be going for it far, far, far more than they currently do. they don't b/c they are risk averse, and afraid of losing their jobs b/c the common fan/the public would flip out as soon if things went wrong.
anyways, good timing to see an article about a team actually (largely) practicing what an academic paper is preaching - and finding success
here is the conclusion for a "average" team - please don't shriek in hysterics without reading the study first
