So I am unsure which coach would implement the game day plan. Larry Porter was Auburn's special teams coordinator while he was at Auburn. I think that makes a huge difference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe some changes/moves coming up. Yes and no. I think he did some good things, but when your scheme allows for punters to frolic for first downs multiple times during the year, there might be some blame there as well. 2 Quote Link to comment

Or kicking to the league leading returner. I think that he is not blameless, but do believe he is low hanging fruit. He is the easy and "obvious" choice. But who was on the field and on the sidelines that was actually interacting with the players? From my understading, the analyst isn't allowed to talk with the kids and isn't allowed to wear a headset during games to even talk with the coaches. Has to be done in person. The mental lapses are sadly the identity of this team and not just on special teams. ST was just a glaring microcosm of this that was so easy to see ie 2 fake punts, the return TD's......Getting rid of him might be the start, but not the only one or only thing that needs to be changed IMHO. I hope (but don't believe) that this will be the start of some real positive changes that moves us from the Scott Frost error to the Scott Frost era..... 1 Quote Link to comment

Considering that was the last time we saw really improved special teams. I hear Pelini's looking for a new job, let's bring him in! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

uberism Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Per Purdue's Rival site, looks like William Inge, Fresno State DC, might be there new DC. They were 85th in total D this past season. Purdue had a higher ranked D with the D guy that they fired when the season was done. Seems like a downgrade, not an upgrade. Quote Link to comment

Numbers and rankings cannot totally convey what is like having Diaco as a coach. It's gotta be an upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment
