How do we feel about our Special Teams coach!?

[Capt. Tuttle]

 

[djcon57]

Needs to go. ASAP

 

[djcon57]

They have to change the coach.

They have to be sure our kicker can make FGs from 40 yards and in.

We have to be able to functionally punt and also kickoff without it going out of bounds.

We’re talking basic stuff and giving up points we can’t afford to lose.

It’s plainly unacceptable. The ST coach shouldn’t have a job tomorrow.

The basic blocking on punts isn’t close. It’s literally high school level.

 

[OttosDad]

They can’t execute a punt, he has to be fired

 

[shu 49]

CLOSE the damn gaps like previous 50 years of specials and actually block someone for the love of God.

 

[Dinkyspond]

What's Bob Casullo up to these days?

 

[two3zone]

I’m just imagining how much better this 4-1 (5-0?) looks with a competent 3rd unit.

That's the tough part with a first year coach and turned over team. We need to hit a home run in the QB market next year or we better improve a lot everywhere else or it could be tough time.

 

[NKR1978]

Let’s hear it..

I think he made this game a lot more interesting than I needed to be.

 

[Dcuse]

We used to have the best kicker because of the dome. Now we probably have the worst kicker in P4.

We replaced our starter with a new kicker tonight and he was perfect. So what are you talking about?

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

On the block TD, you see the OL collapse in to block 3 with 5, allowing 2 to go untouched to the P. That’s not blown assignments or bad blocking, that’s awful coaching.

My bad. I mean punter.

 

[Dcuse]

My bad. I mean punter.

Well, come on now. Did you really think that was his fault? Put me in the lynch mob that wants the ST coach out.

 

[CanadianSU]

Got quite defensive about ST coach in the presser. Also going to call other coaches around the country he trusts to figure it out? Ok.

 

[Scooch]

He shouldn’t be on the flight home.

Fran needs to own this disaster and move on.

 

[Jake]

How do you feel about the execution of your special teams….”I’m all for it.”

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So here’s the thing, if what he’s done as a coach the first 5 games doesn’t get you fired, then what does? Set a standard and get rid of the guy. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life

Yeah, not only is it not getting better after being historically bad, having another punt blocked and one become a negative play turnover on downs is just absurd.

More than enough justification for an in season firing.

 

[JRHEETER]

If I’m coach Fran I’m leaving him here in Vegas

They had a pretty heated exchange on the sidelines

 

[SmilinBob]

I wonder what the under/over for blocked punts by the Wolfies will be Saturday? 1.5?

 

[AckerMan]

Through 5 games we’ve had multiple missed field goals, blocked punts, kicks out of bounds, and an awful return game. Every aspect of special teams is a mess, and at some point we’re going to have to rely on special teams to do SOMETHING. Even something as basic as punt or take a chip shot field goal. He should have been driven out to the desert and left there after the game.

 

[Nick44]

It’s not a good look when this program has had years where it hasn’t even had a ST coordinator and the unit was BETTER THAN THIS GARBAGE.

 

[JoeSU]

If one of HCFB's core values is truly accountability, I think he needs to lead by example.

 

[atlanticuse]

Tired of Fran taking responsibility.
Fire him

 

[anglerman]

It’s the worst punt unit I have ever seen. Has to the one of the worst special teams coaches in history.

It’s 4 games in a row of heated sideline communications.
