Do we really not have a Special Teams Coach?

I have read this a few times… when I say coach I mean an expert in ST.

BK hates spending money and time on ST…. But is he really arrogant enough to not even have a coach who specializes in it?

I have read he didn’t have one at ND either.

Almost like he refuses to even address ST.

If this is in fact true, how do you not fire a guy who refuses to address a huge part of the operation?

Blows my fricking mind that someone as detailed oriented as BK, and someone who has been coaching as long as BK, just totally disregards special teams. Especially if you’re trying to win a championship, that shite in the margins matters.

It’s to me, inexcusable…

How do you not have an expert teaching that part of the game to the players??

I would imagine he is the only coach in power 4 that doesn’t

He has 2 analysts who work with special teams. Which is how many do it. Erb and Diaco. Now maybe those 2 aren’t good enough. Idk.

He has the same setup almost every team has. Both teams playing tonight have position coaches who are the special team coordinator just like lsu. Have analysts who help. Just like lsu. Specialists have specialized training from outside sources.
The other 2 teams in the semis also don’t have a dedicated special teams coach as one of the main 10. Ohio state calls their analysts program assist and have a first year guy who is a snapper in expertise.

Bring back Matt McMahon from Tuck Fulane. (Yall know I mean Greg, who is one of the best in the business)

Why this hasn't been done is just another Butter Kreme mysterious mystery,
