Well wouldn't the percentages change according to the skill level of the players on the field? So saying they don't have good punters doesn't mean that much considering not every high school team has 5 star recruits either.

Players in the NFL are pretty evenly matched so the odds could be close to the same or even better for pro teams. Imagine the Broncos or Saints adopting this style. I don't know know what would happen but with QB's like Manning and Brees orchestrating your offense and a solid special teams that practices onside kicks regularly it could be scary.

Just need a big Oline and rush for 2.5 every play, seems like a decent strategy

Especially in HS where one good Olineman can outmatch an entire side of the Dline.
I'm with crazy coach, roll the dice

A bad college punter can be an amazing high school one, relatively speaking. Same with kickers. I remember being at one where the team attempted a PAT after their first two touchdowns. Their "kicker" was barely able to get the ball in the air, and neither PATs were even close to being good.
