re: Advocate Article Re: No Special Teams Coordinator & Kickers

Special teams coach handles the one on one coaching of the kickers/punters. Most of the time the kickers and punters are solely kicking the entire practice and working on their technique. They aren't really involved in the practices until it's time for the special team period in a practice. They use film and record their kicks every practice and watch film almost everyday with the special teams coordinator to see what needs to be improved in their mechanics/technique. It's really all they do the entire practice lol. Unless les miles is your head coach, then, you will probably have to do the "big cat drill" because that means so much as a kicker or punter. What a dumbass. I'm so glad he's gone. Before some of you want to bash me for saying that about les, you may want to check the way he ran/over worked our team in practices. He's a maniac. Thats why we would always have alot of injuries in spring and summer practices because the players were so fatigued their bodies didn't have time to heal and made them vulnerable to injury. This is coming from the players and coaches that were on the team/staff with miles saying that. They love the tempo and structure of the practices with coach O over that of miles. Our team always looked like they lacked that explosiveness at time under miles and looked to get worn down quicker than coach O's teams. You have to figure that the way miles kicked their asses in practice had something to do with it.
