Hope that Brown is also a good recruiter!.. Candidates to become the next special teams coordinator? Buh?

The other day I looked at the coaching history of all of our assistants and none of them had ever coached Special teams. Maybe Geep Chryst can double as ST and TE?

so if we hire a coach, that means we will let another go, right? Who will that be? Or did someone already leave?

My guess is this will free up WIlcox as well. Even though he is HC and a defensive coach, he's a DB at heart and was probably spending time with Tre. You could see how our DB's progressed over the year and improved. If we could see the same improvement out of some of our other position groups we will be in good shape.

Having more than one major coordinator involved with the secondary could stabilize things in that coaching unit, or help to maintain continuity of coaching. A victim in of their own successes.

Football has 3 components: offense, defense, and special teams. To have a good STs, you have to have your best players on the units. Also, for traveling squad limitations those players come from the 1 & 2 deep. So, when practicing ST's especially KO & KOR your 1's & 2's are the lads on the field. Ergo, you likely aren't practicing offense or defense at that time of practice. Which would leave a plethora of coaches to coach and assist in coaching STs. A group effort by all coaches. Only 1 or 2 coaches need to implement scheme and strategy. Then when on the practice field most, if not all coaches, can coach it up. So, I'm kinda OK with not having a ST's coach per se.

That said, I think STs as as important, if not more so, than offense or defense. Think Frank Beamer and how many games VT won due to their STs.
