Take the safety and punt from the 20 instead of trying again to punt from the 15, with a rush (and actually punting from about the 3-4 yard line.

And the OPer did not say where the line to gain is either. We do not know if there is a first down if accepting the penalty. Also might make a difference to what a coach might decide.

I've seen this coaching move before. And more than once too. As with many things in football, "it depends on the other variables (situation)".

One time I saw a clip from a HS game where Team A was up by 2 points and the ball. They had to win by more than 2 points to make the playoffs. So on the lsat play of the game, the QB ran 50-60 yards behind him for the safety and they ended up winning in OT by a touchdown and went to the playoffs.

It should at least be obvious when there's a question, yes. I admit that most of the time, the safety is the obvious decision and the extent of my asking of the coach would be something like, "You want the safety, right, coach?"
