I agree, it makes no sense. IDK why you would hire a 2nd year guy anyway, in a business that is year to year. I think you need either a young guy who is all out teams, or you gotta hire an older guy who has done it a for many years, at a few spots/stops

I think "year 2 success" is an issue don't you? Why wouldn't you want and require, year 1 success. Special teams can turn around quickly. It's all about match ups and keeping it simply nuanced.

Posted this on the staff changes board, but it’s probably more relevant here: If you're not going to make the guy an on field coach, then hire someone who is doing it from off the field with success. I see a lot of people looking at football outsiders stats on here. Their Special Teams stats are garbage. 1. A touchback on a kickoff is not "efficient" for them. 2. A punt that nets 38 yards is. 3. Field position stats, while a function of teams are more dependent on O/D. You can have great teams, a bad O and a poo D and still get crushed on field position. 4. Sample sizes this year were a nightmare so any "analytics" are skewed wildly this year. Bill Connelly's S+ for ESPN stats much better, if you can get the full rankings. App State, Florida, NC State, Iowa, Kentucky, Houston, & Army have been the best teams on SPT this year.
