Looks like Dan hired former Cowboys PK Chris Boniol as a special teams coach in some capacity today. Spent the last year at UK and the previous 4-5 with the Cowboys.

Really excited about this, regardless of his role. I've heard from several people that when Dan started at MSU he had his kickers doing squats and normal workouts, which is something you're not supposed to do. Having a former pro at least brings with him some knowledge about how to run the unit. A unit I've felt no one knows how to run at MSU.

It does appear that Mullen is addressing many short comings. The fact that he is adapting and addressing the weaknesses is a very good sign.

He's just a quality control guy, Greg Knox still runs special teams.

Clearly he's just improving the staff to win more and get an offer out of starkville**

Why would you not want your kicker doing squats?

Reduces flexibility. Punters' and kickers' workouts are almost entirely incline running.

I'm sure there's a lot of science applied to how these guys train but I've been told by more than one source that Dan had special teams guys doing workouts with everyone else, which is just dumb.

Makes sense... I've just never heard that before but I've never heard much regarding coaching/training a kicker.
