I’m a big BK fan, but him covering for his little buddy just doesn’t cut the mustard in my irrelevant opinion.


His buddy has us sitting with a top 8 class that could easily be top 4 if Toviano commits soon. That’s well ahead of the schedule most of us expected at this point in a rebuild, especially how rough this class started out in early Summer. And Kelly trusts him to lock this down.

I’m not making excuses for Pollian because special teams has been terrible and hasn’t improved much at all. However, I just accept that he isn’t going anywhere because of what he means to recruiting and how he handled filling out this roster via the portal. What Pollian is doing right now requires him to be in an on-field position, so Kelly helping and assigning GAs and analysts to help break down the issues and work on solutions is what we have.

It’s not exactly an uncommon approach either. I would say that Orgeron bringing in a true special teams coordinator with NFL bona fides is more the exception than the rule. It’s quite often a guy with primarily a recruiting focus OR it’s someone splitting duties as a position coach and special teams coach.

As you said, that’s not making excuses for the abysmal special teams play - it’s just acknowledging a reality of the situation. Kelly obviously needs to look at making some changes in how the special teams are handled but I highly doubt he’s going to publicly demote Polian midyear in the middle of a nice recruiting run. I’m honestly a little surprised that people seem to expect this at all.
