So essentially someone who isn’t going to be focusing on special teams is still better than the fella last season doing it full time

Jancek is just coaching JACK linebackers.
Diaco will be an analyst and handle Special Teams.

Has this guy ever coached special teams?

Guy deserves the benefit of the doubt I guess, but this hire doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.

Wikipedia says no

On the main page it just says he will coach LBs and pass rushers

He’s not coaching Special Teams. AYS has wrong info once again.

Yep. Conflicting stories here. Other article just says he is coaching LB, with no mention at all of special teams.

Analysis can’t be on-field coaches, so still no ST coordinator hire yet

He will have the title special teams/ outside linebackers coach according to Brody Miller and Bruce Feldman. House wanted a pass rushing specialist coach.

Can confirm #LSU promoted senior defensive analyst John Jancek to special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach. LSU will also be using analysts to help run special teams, source said.

Well shite maybe Shea and Billy got it wrong because they’re saying Diaco is going to handle special teams.
Posted on 2/28/23 at 11:16 am to grich31
incorrect
per Shea
quote:
Kelly also hired former UCONN HC Bob Diaco, who has a special teams background on his resume. I'm hearing Diaco and other analysts will help coordinate and coach special teams given the rule changes from the NCAA that allows all the analysts to be hands-on at practice.

They can now. The only thing they can’t do is recruit on the road.
Think of them like the “volunteer” baseball coaches

Looks like ST isn’t getting the focus it needs, but I’ll give BK benefit of the doubt.

To replace Polian, Kelly interviewed multiple strong candidates to head special teams, but instead chose to promote Jancek while splitting special teams duties among multiple coaches on the staff. It is possible Jancek also receives the title of coordinator; but sources tell FootballScoop multiple coaches will share responsibilities for various teams roles.
quote:
Jancek joined Kelly's staff as a senior analyst last year, and brings decades of coordinator experience with him to the on-field staff. He previously headed defenses for Wayne State, Hillsdale College, Grand Valley State (under Kelly), Cincinnati, Tennessee, and Colorado State.
Diaco spent 2014-16 at UConn, and previously coordinated defenses for Kelly at Cincinnati and Notre Dame, in addition to Nebraska, Louisiana Tech and Purdue. Prior to that, he coordinated special teams for Western Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, and Virginia. He spent 2022 as the defensive line coach for the New Jersey Generals of the USFL.

I guess it doesn't at Georgia either or a bunch of other schools who don't have on field special teams coaches
