James Vollono (ST coordinator)

Special teams was scary today.

Hate that every week we have a concern

Here’s to the Stanford game and hoping we put it all together

We play 7 games a season in the most controlled environment in college football. We usually don't have more than 1 or 2 weather games a season. We should have Top 25 worthy special teams every season.

We better see improvement by Stanford.

I'm pretty sure Denaburg wasn't ordered to kick the ball out of bounds.

He just whiffed.

All of his kickoffs reached the endzone except for one which landed short, and the out of bounds one.

I agree...he lost focus.

Brought back bad memories of past seasons.

What's the difference between a coordinator and coach? If memory serves Vollano was brought in as ST coach and not coordinator.

One of my coworkers was a specialist under Vollono as a prior stop. When we hired him a few months ago we were talking about SU football and he mentioned it, and kinda gave me that "yikes" face without any additional context. Didn't love that reaction and now I know why...

That being said if we did move on after this season, there is a VERY capable SU alum coaching special teams in the Ivy League.

You mind sharing the name and school?

I think coordinator would be considered an equal pillar to OC and DC.

A ST coach would be similar to a position coach.

I could be off base though

Very true OX but it still happened as a special break down/mistake. Even if a guy doesn't fumble and does it's considered a turnover.
