Special teams is generally an 'other duties as assigned' position.  You hire a TE or Safeties or LB coach and they double as the Special Teams Coordinator.  This isn't true across the board, as Georgia just has a STC but they by and large are a position coach first.

The coordination of our STs has been fine.  Our coverage teams have been superb and once Pena got put on notice he's been good.  We're out returning our opponents.   20.4 ykr to 15.2 and 9.3 ypr to 5.5.

LS has been fine.  Protection has been fine.

Smitty is obviously struggling a bit 7-10 (he spoiled us his first year), but we know he can kick.

James Williams is a frosh.  His first two games were adequate then he fell off the cliff against Wake.  We don't know if he's injured or not since he missed the FSU game.  I'm not sure if he was recruited as a place kicker or punter or both but he obviously needs some work.   Punting (field position game) is really hurting us right now.  I think we're only averaging about 33 yards per punt.
