BR paper reported “Kelly used a decentralized approach for handling special teams

The Advocate- LSU still needs a special teams coordinator and tight ends coach…. Bob Diaco, who remained listed on LSU’s staff, was the outside linebacker’s coach and special teams coordinator last season. While Diaco led the meetings and practices, assistant coaches helped with certain units, as Kelly used a decentralized approach for handling special teams.
The Advocate didn’t mentioned what Kelly’s plan will be for LSU’s 2024 special teams, will he assign a coach from within or hire one but the plan in 2023 was a big failure, maybe not a total failure but definitely bad enough it doesn’t need repeating.

BK hasn’t had good special units in either of his years so far. The fact that our offense was so good and defense was so bad probably helped hide this. We rarely punted and rarely had to field punts.

We haven’t had a return game since DJ Chark. We desperately need better blocking and a threat to return.

I don’t get why McMahon isn’t back - he clearly still wants to coach and was great here.

Yeah, the plan for last year was well documented and seemed like a bad idea at the time. Some of the Kelly fan boys cheered it, but not many. Hopefully it gets fixed this year, but I haven't heard any talk on it.

Yeah please just give us a dedicated special teams coach. Special teams has murdered us

Punt returns are almost non existent in the world of spread punt. It's all about the fair catch.

With the offense being able to score at will, and only having to field opposing team kickoffs, ST got pretty much ignored.
While field position was more important with Les ball, it wasn’t as important with JD5 at the helm, and hello Nuss driving the bus 98 yards.
THAT SAID, I have a distinct feeling that ST in 24 will decide a game for us.

Trey Palmer is one of only eight players in LSU history to return both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown during their career.

LSU will be breaking in a new Kickoff Specialist and a new Punter this year…luckily Ramos adds some stability to the mix.

Trey is showing off his talents in Tampa. If I am not mistaken a Nebraska football star 
Kentwood turns out to be a prime recruiting arena.

The only kickoff return for a TD by a Tiger in Tiger Stadium since Eric Martin in 1981. Let that one sink in for a minute.
ETA the bold part I thought I had put in.

I don't like Kelly's approach. Why do we need two DL and two DB coaches. I would much rather a dedicated ST coach.

You’re probably going to get a special teams coach that also coaches TEs.

think how bad arse it would be to make 350k to just only coach punt teams and then you only had to punt 12 times all season

In Tiger Stadium.
Let's not act like it had been 40 years between kickoff returns overall.
