re: Can a college team have open tryouts to find a kicker?

Why are we still on this? Bottom line is this. 1. Trent is KO guy primarily because of seniority, 2. Trent kicks OOB, gets replaced by Cameron 3. Cameron kicks the exact type of ball Les wants, but can't pooch that well 4. Les puts Trent back in to pooch because cover team can't do their job So in other words.... If Les wants a ball out of back of endzone, Trent can do that but that is not what Les wants ..... If he wants a high hang-time dropping at the 5, (which he does) Cameron is the man... But our cover team can't handle it. The problem is Les is being dumb and should wait til cover team can do their job before trying the high short kick. He needs to just let Trent blast out the back of the endzone..... And while he is at it, he needs to put Colby back on FG/PAT duty.

I would agree with this entire statement because Les absolutely tells his kicker to kick it high and short to force a return but, once it has been established that a return is detrimental bc our coveage blows then why didn't Les just tell Gamble to kick it out the endzone instead of us squibbing?
