What do we do about special teams coaching?

[King Kong]

It was a blow to miss out on Snyder, I realize he probably needed a coaching job more than an analyst job, but USC?
We have got to get the STs fixed.

We stew until we hear otherwise.

Starts by finding someone who can kick it to the end zone. Kicking and fundamentals cost us at least 2 games last year

Time to punt. Then regroup.

New walk on kicker had a 75% touchback rate his last year of high school. He also punts. Big leg supposedly.

We hire Seam Snyder after the USC staff gets shown the door

Meh. Frost knows enough qualified people to find somebody to fill that role well. He does need to take advantage of the rules on coaches and hire somebody before spring ball to leverage his staff's time.

Jonathan Rutledge from Auburn:


Auburn seems to have pretty good special teams the last few years. This ranking had them 13th nationally last year: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa/fei/overallst/2019

ESPN had them 36th nationally in Special Teams Efficiency: http://www.espn.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings/_/sort/stEfficiency/tab/efficiency.

Comparatively, Nebraska was 112th and 120th nationally in 2019.

Hard to believe we could be that bad.
