I agree with asdf. I would also add that the assumption by Jeff that most would take the replay without much thought is likely faulty. I'd assume the opposite in fact. Unless declining the foul and keeping the ball puts the team in a disadvantageous situation (like the aforementioned "own 14"), MOST coaches are going to take the ball without a rekick. MOST coaches see the punt return as a risky play already - risky enough that they're going to keep the ball without a rekick most of the time. (Consider before numerous enforcement changes about 8 years back, how often coaches declined penalties against teams that were kicking off, solely because they'd just rather have the ball and be done with the return play rather than rekicking 5 yards back).

I agree that if an official were to simply set up to rekick - a lot of coaches will not know they had an option and think nothing of it. But I disagree that given that option it's a no-brainer that they would take the rekick.
