Ed Foley FIRED

[floridacorn]

You’d have to actively try to allow 10 kicks to be blocked. 

It really is a complete and total breakdown.  Operations that are not robust & stress tested.  Drills & reps that don't instill assignment discipline.  It's the equivalent of a defense that is unprepared to handle motion, shifts, overloads, or bunch formations.  It's 101 stuff.  That punt block vs Iowa was something you see from really bad high school teams with the personal protector literally chasing a non threat to clear a direct alley to the punter.

I wonder if Brett Maher is collateral damage with the Foley dismissal?

Watching the wild card game between Houston and LA, maybe we should hire the Texans special teams coach?

One thought I have had is I wonder if they are given enough practice time. Hopefully whatever ST coach is hired is able to do some dictating on how much time is necessary to not suck.

There is an argument that could be made not to be using all your offensive and defensive starters on special teams, and that is the practice time.  There are so many hours in a day.  Why not use those 2nd and 3rd stringers that are just hanging out while the offense and defense practice to put in some time on special teams.  

Of course that comment makes way more sense in the old roster levels.  I'm not so sure it does on the new levels.  But I guess the NFL does it with a 53 man roster....  :shrug:

To be fair, Kenny Bell did it too…and drew a 15yd unsportsmanlike 

If you're going to get 15, may as well lay someone out from Wisconsin, Mr. Bell.

Oh, wait

Any new rumors, talk, insight who will be ST coach :dunno      Must be a coach who is still coaching in Pros ????

Or, someone already on staff that's going to take over the duties?  Not necessarily promoting that idea.

I really hope it is Sean Snyder. KSU had really good special teams when he was there.

Maybe I missed it, but has NU released anything official about Foley being gone?

Not that I have seen.  Only a report on Football Scoop and a couple random twitter accounts.

You don't have to fire someone whose contract has expired...
