Slade Nagle will also serve as Special Teams coordinator

He was an assistant ST coach for Joe Robinson on the 2009 LSU staff and was special teams coordinator at McNeese from 2012-2015. Here's hoping he knows what a punt return is.

I was wondering about that since he was paid well as OC at Tulane
Makes sense they gave him more responsibility to justify a raise

I knew the last name rang a bell. His dad, John Nagle, was a cornerback at LSU from 1969-1971.
Scott Long at DandyDon also mentioned this in his column this morning.

2009 had 47 kick returns for 900 yards, 19.1 YPR with 0 TDs and 27 punt returns for 509 yards, 18.9 YPR with 2 TDs.
It should be noted that 2009 had Trindon Holliday who accounted for most of those returns and yards
Holliday had 22 kick returns for 537 yards, 24.4 YPR with 0 TDs and 20 punt returns for 362 yards, 18.1 YPR with 1 TDs.

Aaron Anderson and Zavion Thomas are two great return options.

He has a very interesting kicker room to deal with. Hopefully Ramos can keep it at 80% or above this year…but that still means nothing 50 or longer will be attempted. That’s fine though.

AA was my first thought in terms of being closest to Trindon. Not world-class speed, I don't think, though.

Two of the more curious stats on your 2009 chart:
1) Kelvin Sheppard averaging 12.6 yards over 5 kick returns. He was a linebacker, so I doubt he was ever in the endzone to receive (I could be wrong)... but that's a decent performance to my amateur eyes for fielding squib kicks further upfield and advancing the ball vs falling on it... or he broke one long one and fought for a couple of yards on the rest. Clement & Foyil behind him are comparatively less surprising.
2) Stefoin Francois getting 5 yards on a punt return with 0 punt receptions. Was this a fumble recovery (from a Holliday/Jones mishandle) & return? Makes sense if so (you have to account for 5 yards somewhere) but just looks a little odd to see the stat like that.

If our offense is as potent as last years, why would we even risk a punt return fumble? Especially if our defense isn't improved?

I just did a screen cap from https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/louisiana-state/2009.html#all_returns
So I am not sure. That site does make the occasional mistake

I doubt he is but even if it is 80% it skews the return decisions to security. This year was an anomaly anyway, to me. I would say at least 8 of 10 fair catches were the right call based on coverage. I think there were a lot of higher shorter punts because when we did get stops, it was around midfield.

I'm more interested in OL Will Blackwell returning a kick.

Coach Fritz had him forever...Fritz is a solid evaluator of coaching skills.
CK has hired a bunch of really good coaches....I'm stoked.

Slade Nagle is an intimidating manly name right up there with Snake Pliskin

What jumps out about these stats is how underrated Ron Brooks is/ was.
I always liked him, but his stats are up there near Trindons...

Here's to him possibly being more aggressive at going after punts which would by design set up a decent punt return game in that it forces the kicking team to bring more guys in tight to block and not running down to blast our kick returner.
