Anand does have experience in P4 (in smaller roles but still working with special teams)

SWAC and all HBCUs have horrible special teams and barely kick extra points.

I would’ve lost it if BK brought back T-Mac. Hopefully this guy is filling an analyst role.

The Hardrockers of SDSM&T are good but no comparison to the Orediggers of Colorado School of Mines.

He is probably technical, just like Kelly.

Sometimes I don’t know if he gets that he is in the SEC and the tough guys run the SEC.

Edit. As an analyst I understand. Thought he was going to be a coordinator.

I thought the same thing, but the stats for Grambling don’t say that.

Seems like an odd career path. I guess dedicated ST coordinators aren't as common these days.



Now that analysts can coach on the field it makes no sense to have a special teams coordinator taking up a valued recruiting coach’s spot. Analysts can do everything an assistant can do except go on the road recruiting. So hire a few analysts who know their stuff and then get your position players some extra coaching/elite recruiters.
