OT from the unending dumpster fire/joke that is RU "athletics," but I actually think that our staff has some weak spots and would love to make some upgrades by raiding PSU and the Buc's for any assistant coaches that are worthwhile.
*I think that our DB's look lost a lot of the time. I can't count the number of times that there has been bad communication leading to blown coverages.
*Our defensive game planning was horrible until it magically got a lot better. I think HCSS started playing a more active role, meaning our DC is dead weight. Vanderlin (PSU's LB/DC and former UMD HC) would be a GREAT add.
*The O-line hasn't been bad, but I'm not sure how much of that was Atkins. One year isn't enough time to formulate an opinion one way or the other.
*The jury is still out on the QB coach/recruiting coordinator. One year isn't enough time to formulate an opinion one way or the other. I would like to see better recruiting, though. However, if we have a strong finish, I'll be satisfied. We aren't far off, and if we improve throughout next year, I'll be happy.
*I would also like to see better special teams play. I can excuse the bad kicking because of injuries, but our punt coverage leaves something to be desired. For instance, letting both of those punts bounce in the end zone against UMn was crazy. They both should have been inside the 5. However, some areas of the special teams have been pretty good, so I think that I will need another year before I can come to a conclusion one way or the other.
