I know that LSU's "fair catch" strategy this year caught a lot of criticism


From whom?

Our fair catch strategy was a result a non-existent ST coaching. Very telling that fair catching was an upgrade from horrid attempts at punt returning prior to that. Since BK doesn’t believe in dedicating a position coach to ST, I expect to see continued fair catching.

This is false. The strategy was based on analytics and LSU’s high-powered offense, not wanting to risk giving away the ball.

And lots of schools don’t have a dedicated ST coach, including Alabama. It’s extremely common.
