This would suggest that he played WITH Schiano in college at Bucknell.

This discussion brings to mind an article about the VaTech special teams back when Frank Beamer was head coach, and the Hokie ST play was legendary. Beamer stated that one way he placed an emphasis was to practice ST at the beginning of practice (when the players were fresh and attentive), instead of trying to squeeze it in at the end of practice. He also created a culture where there was a spirited competition for being a member of a special team unit, which included many starters and the best athletes on the team.

With average points against per game of 30.3. I know Fran isn't going to fire ERob this offseason but I'm thoroughly not impressed so far.

That’s a better argument than pinning it on one game. We don’t say fire Nixon because of the Pitt game.

Vollono is still listed as Special Teams Coordinator on the SU Athletics site.

I guess the numerous reports of him not expecting to be back next season were either premature or wrong.

He’s not coming back. I think Thamel reported it and when the mom of a special teams player wishes him the best on his next adventure then I would say that kinda confirmed it. They haven’t replaced him yet so his name is still listed as ST coach

Contracts I believe go through end of January so nothing wrong at this point. Fran is clearly not going to embarrass the coach by doing a firing and will just not renew. My guess is also Fran has probably already selected his replacement.

And if Vollono already has another job lined up, it can't be announced until his contract expires here.

Yeah, and Thamel gets all of his info from agents, so they’d obviously know.

And as we all know, premature anything is never good.
