Title: Will special teams suffer now that "Tib's" isn't in charge?
Post by: michigancat on August 27, 2007, 08:58:25 AM

Or will having his shrewdness employed full time on defense make up for the potential step back in special teams?

Discuss.

I've thought the same thing. I for one think he'll end up being a good one as a DC, but I worry too that the ST's will suffer.

One thing I noticed during the open practices is other than Franklin, who was having a QB groupie on the other end of the field. EVERY coach was involved in the special teams drills.

Excellent question "Rus."

One thing I forgot to mention was that Tibs was EXCLUSIVELY ST coordinator.  LB/STC/RCMW does not have that luxury.

Could this also be a factor?

VERY interesting.  And encouraging.

We can win with crappy defense (see last year's model) but we can't win without good special teams (see last year's model).  The impact to a hit in our special teams would be felt much deeper within the team.  But to answer your question, as ol' stormy said above, Prince stresses special teams in just about every interview I hear him do.  I think we're going to continue where we left off last year and have excellent special teams.  Tibs will then be exposed to the Wildcat nation as the fraud that he is and be run out of town back to North Jersey or wherever he came from.

blind speculation, general consensus, self-congratulation, end of thread.

From all indications, we don't have a kicker who can kick a field goal.  IIRC, we also will either have a RS-FR or FR as a long snapper.  I think our return game will be fine, but our field goal kicking and punting (the snap anyways) will be suspect, no matter who the coach is.
