THAT guy would be a downgrade from Foley, maybe my memory isn't so good anymore but I'm not sure that guy did anything but collect a check That would be Bruce "gotta make my tee time" Read. Half a million for 30 minutes a day. A tremendous waste of money. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104183-new-st-coach-mike-ekeler/page/3/#findComment-2712194

I'd rather we hire coaches who've walked a mile in their players' shoes and if he doesn't even know what it's like to be sight-challenged, then pass. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104183-new-st-coach-mike-ekeler/page/3/#findComment-2712195

Gorillahawk Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM How long does it take Ekeler to turn our ST around? I would like to think in year 1 we will see a nice jump but it'll be year 2 or 3 when we see the jump to a top 25 special teams unit.

It's more than snapper punter. Our kick coverage, both punt and kick off, has been terrible. I think we are better at returning punts than we have been but it's still an opportunity.

But, I view those as more of a problem with scheme and coaching than actual tallent of the players. I'm saying the scheme can be fixed almost immediately.
