Why don't we have a special teams coach?

Has O given a reason for not hiring a special teams coach? Is dividing up the duties fairly common? Maybe it's just me but I've always thought of special teams as a key ingredient to a championship caliber team.

We had a special teams touchdown and one called back. Also more touchbacks in one game than the entire time Miles was the coach.
What's your problem, now?

Special teams has been far better this year, minus field goals.

When the NCAA approves an additional assistant coach next spring, coach O said he will hire that former Saints coach dude currently working for LSU as a consultant. Until that happens though, we will do without a special teams coach.

Not a fan, esp if McMahon of all people is the ghost coach.

Still somewhat strangely more secure than having BDP down there. Just poured out a bottle of sweet baby ray's for ol baw

Prolly because Coach O is like 98% of people on this board that think kicking is easy and all you need is some soccer player with 10 guys around him

LSU has one in Greg McMahon but he's not allowed to coach on the field. McMahon coached the Saints special teams from 2008-2016.

When's the last time we've had a dedicated special teams coach? I'm pretty sure BDP coached special teams AND linebackers.

We have to fire a coach to hire another at this point.

Which coach do you want to let go?

What we need more than a coach is someone who can kick. This can cost us close games when the competition improves. These guys don't have it.

Have a feeling it's back to the dinardo era when kickers were practicing on their own and kicking at trashcans with nobody helping them or even giving them drills.

Teams expected the additional coach to be in play this year. Instead of losing Meatball, CEO kept McMahon on as consultant who's working with assistants to implement everything. He just can't be on field or directing ST meetings.
