Saints are bad in a lot of areas right now.
Historically under his watch the Saints have had some really good units, at least they kick the ball out the end zone.

if he survived as a ST coach in the NFL for 10 years he can't be as bad as y'all are portraying him
Yes, he absolutely can be.
He has been a thorn in Saints' fans side for years, but was never fired because he is SP's pretty much best friend.
He is a really, really bad ST coach.

WTH he was a horrible ST coach and only kept his job through friendship, not coaching. if this is who they hire he is no better then the last ST idiot LSU just got rid of, maybe even a step backwards.

To be fair, the Saints defensive talent has SUCKED for years and, except for the line, STs are mostly made up of defenders.
If a team has bad defenses, usually their STs suck
That doesn't explain our awful kick protection that resulted in 2 losses

There is no excuse for this if he's named ST Coach.
If you made a list of active ST Coaches that we could hire, he literally might be at the bottom of the list in college and pro.
He's horrendous.

I mean as a Shadow Staff this isn't the worst thing in the world. He does have experience.
If he becomes the ST coach or has a significant role...lol.

it would make no sense for him to be anything other than a shadow staffer. He's a terrible STs coach and I doubt he'd do much recruiting.

The only thing he could be good at is punt coverage
But that has more to do with Morstead being able to place the ball at the boundary than his coaching

Legitimately cost them at least 2 games. Maybe more.

Remember how against Oakland on the last kickoff we weren't even ready for the kickoff resulting in at least 10 yards of field position. We ended up trying a 60+ yarder for the win

If you are an NFL return specialists you should already know how to field a kick or punt
I don't disagree and I'd imagine McMahon had a great deal of input on drafting him, so still on him.

So the shadow staff is real?

Saints special teams averages over the last five years:
Kick Return Total Yards - 24th
Average per Kick Return - 18th
Punt Return Total Yards - 26th
Average per Punt Return - 21st
So bottom half for the Saints return game.
Kick Return Yards Allowed - 20th
Average Yards Allowed per Kick Return - 25th
Punt Return Yards Allowed - 10th
Average Yards Allowed per Punt Return - 11th
So decent I guess in punt coverage. But if you've watched the Saints at all over the last few years, you know McMahon hasn't been great to say the least.

Who is the actual ST coach?

So, we have no TE coach (unless Ensminger counts) and we have no STC - if the 10th assistant is approved,

I still hold out hope that Joe Rob comes home and coaches TE and STC?
Let it go, he isn't coming here.

Oh good God in heaven, if this guy has anything to do with LSU's special teams, we're screwed. Seriously, any Saints fan will tell you, he was by far the worst special teams coordinator in all of professional football and the worst I have seen at any level. This is no solution and is very, very bad news for Tiger fans.
