1) who takes on these duties for bowl prep?
2) which coach would you like to see hired and why?
3) what areas of ST schemes/tactics need to be changed or modified and how?

1 and 2 I have no idea. Especially 2 because trying to figure out who LSU's special teams coach should be is a little to die hard for me. on point 3 though the main solution everyone wants to see is a punter who doesn't shank the ball half his kicks and a kicker who can kick the ball out of the endzone for touchbacks every time.

1. They could probably make the calls themselves, and do better than what we've been getting.
2. I usually root for whoever TD seems the most excited about
3. Kick the ball deeper/tackle better when they return it.

1) The guys know what to do by now, just need someone to pump them up and ready to hit somebody - Orgeron?

2) No clue. I want someone who can work with the kicker and punter more.

3) Although BDP was horrible with scheme last year, it has been much much better this year. Kickoffs inside the 5 every time gives us an opportunity for a turnover, offensive penalty, and pin them deep. Punt coverage has been good, can't complain. I'd like to keep similar scheme, just improve on the actual kicking part.

My biggest pet peeve has been the lack of aggressive punt block and FG blocking schemes. We have the athletes to attack from the corners and in the past, had athletic bigs in the middle to get high on FG blocks.

KO teams need to focus on getting the ball into the EZ and allowing lanes to attack disciplined - so as to effectively pin opponents deep or cause TO's.

Coach Joe Robinson did this a lot when Honey Badger, Jarvis Landry, etc was here.

ST coach must find another Donnie Jones/Brad Wing type to pin opponents deep

LSU also needs a better FG kicker for '17. Get one guy who can KO and kick a FG with accuracy.

Maybe just one guy who can return KO & punts instead of 2 or 3 extra players.
