Good TE coach, time to take away special teams. Beat by another fake punt, extended a drive with a running into the punter penalty.

On field coach limits are gone next year right? Go hire a standalone ST Coordinator

I would like to see Banks go outside the box:

1. Find a shitty MLS player to kick FGs, Brandon Aubrey style

2. Find a 7-footer who does nothing but intimidate and block FGs

I can haz nd special teams coach?

ND executed that 11 off and on play; meanwhile we’ve been completely unprepared for very predictable fake punts in huge situations against GA and ASU; along with the multitude other ST fuck ups. Banks sucks at prepping the guys, and obviously doesn’t have them ready at the moment in-game. People bitch about Sark, Ewers, and in the past PK; but Banks is fucking killing us.

I still don't know how Blackwell didn't block that punt.

Simple--Banks schemed up a punt block specifically to free up Blackwell, but then forgot to instruct the very player he specifically schemed to free up on the most obvious fundamentals of blocking a punt.  Nice work Banks.

You really think that execution was on the coaching and not the player?  Sometimes players fuck up.  It happens.  It looks to me like Blackwell hesitated at the last second and it cost him.   I have zero doubt punt block team was coached to take the damn ball off the foot.  Banks was livid on the sideline.

Now as for the fake punts killing is back to back games in Atlanta, that is inexcusable (even though multiple flags should have been thrown against ASU on that one).

Based on how the punt block team reacted to the asu shift, banks/Tx clearly had something they loved… mo just didn’t execute

"Simple" is doing a lot of work in this post.

The one thing that will give me some solace when the season ends is the knowledge that they will fire his ass.

Can we at least reassign him and hire a competent Special Teams Coach?

How about we quit recruiting 17-year old high-schoolers to punt, and go back to NILling 30-year-old Aussie Rules Footballers from Pro Kick Australia? That game has a premium on accurate direction and distance, ability to kick on the run, to either side, and/or running over people when appropriate.

Which punters at Texas were NILed from there?

It's my understanding that Dickson was uhhhh inveigled to Austin with possibly less than fully compliant mechanisms. Before NIL was a common designation, but it should be scrupulously proper today. NIL sounds do much more professional than "bag", don't you think?
