He got to him and tapped him on the shoulder (he was completely at the end all by himself) and then Richardson started to run onto the field only to see, oh shit, nevermind I can't now.
If Haley confirmed they were in 4 down mode there is absolutely NO reason a coach would have been sprinting after Richardson unless they wanted him in there, and Richardson was not headed back towards the field until the coach had gotten to him and told him they needed him in there. Then it was too late.
I really want to make clear that the point I'm trying to make is that the sideline was a mess, that was a big play in the game, and I think Haley should have taken a timeout and let things settle down for a second.

Which coach tapped him on the shoulder? I don't recall seeing a coach near him from the TV angle (but may have missed it).
And why would the ST coach be the one of all those coaches to decide there wasn't enough time for the sub and pull him?
