No more backups and walk-ons manning special teams. I think it was DeJon Gomes who tweeted this past season after yet another ST debacle that if he was a Blackshirt he'd be in the coach's office demanding to be on Special Teams. I don't know if the coaches are keeping the top players off ST or the players don't want to do it, but that has to change. Watching one of the bowl games (one with top 10 teams) the announcers had mentioned how many starters for the one team were on special teams. Might have been Utah maybe. Speaks to what you are saying. Not to be an a$$, but start smashing teams we should and let the backups and walk-ons get their experience then. We start the "starters" on O and D for a reason.....ST needs to be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment

Um, if Nelson was using helper monkeys against the opposing tackles quite a bit last season, then we *may* have multiple, bigger issues to deal with. The phrase I believe you meant is 'mano a mano' which means "hand to hand". "Mono" is Monkey and "y" means "and" in Spanish. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
DefenderAO Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Urban Meyer himself was the ST coach while at OSU. At Jacksonville he oversaw community pole dancing. These things seem important to him. Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm officially feeling much better about our outlook with this announcement. A lot of people had called this and thought he was just about the best guy for the job and I'd tend to agree. This move shows that Frost & Alberts get it and seem to be on the same page about putting together tangible plans that build a good football program. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

You need players who can handle the ball and block legally and not commit silly blocks in the back. We need difference makers on special teams. Instead, what we had were a bunch of players with not much experience trying their best not to screw up. 1 Quote Link to comment

To assume they “get it” seems without fact. It appears Busch was Plan A from the jump--the move happened right after his former contract with LSU expired--and Sean Snyder was Plan B. So to say that there was no Plan A or B seems to be more than a little willfully myopic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Waiting for a certain date on an old contract might also be why we haven't heard anything about an RB coach. 1 Quote Link to comment

I kind of doubt it's correct to say it "wasn't Plan A or even Plan B." Busch is a good hire and is capable of fixing special teams. What I really was driving at though with the comment that this shows that Frost & Alberts get it is that we desperately needed a strong commitment towards special teams. This move shows that they understand that and are pouring resources into getting it fixed. Whether somebody loves Bill as the first choice to do the job is another matter, I guess.
