The decision to go for it or not in that situation, in EVERY situation, is 100% on the head coach. He shouldn't be asking the offensive coordinator what to do, he should be telling the offensive coordinator what we were going to do.
In fact I'd go so far as to say that he should have told him before the third down play, so you can call the third down play with fourth down in mind if you don't make it. Although from the one yard line that shouldn't have mattered.
