Not really, but most of it was out of the control of the special teams coach. Our kickoff coverage was terrible - that’s his fault. Our punter sucked, our kicker was average and our kickoffs were short. Those are not in his control.

Special teams have become much less important with most kickoffs being fair caught and red zone performance becoming the defining metric for defenses. No longer is field position an important statistic, or at least not as important as it used to be. If LSU gets the ball on its 10, instead of its 30, that just means Nabers or BTJ had to run 20 more yards at the end of one of the next five plays.
