I also think we need to look to someone different for ST coach. I’m concerned, however, that it may be more than Foley. Here’s part of his resume from Huskers.com
BAYLOR: In his lone season at Baylor in 2019, the Bears ranked 13th nationally in special teams. Baylor was second nationally with five blocked kicks and ranked in the top 40 in the country in punt and ickoff return defense.
TEMPLE: In addition to ranking in the top five nationally in blocked kicks four times, Foley’s Temple teams ranked in the top 25 nationally in punt return defense in three of his six seasons, including fifth in 2014. In Foley’s final season at Temple in 2018, the Owls ranked in the top 25 nationally in punt returns and kickoff return defense, in addition to a No. 5 ranking in blocked kicks. The Owls also scored six touchdowns on special teams in 2018 with two punt return touchdowns, two fake kicks for scores, one punt block for a touchdown and one kickoff return for a score.
Individually, Temple specialists thrived under Foley. Isaiah Wright became the first player in school history to return both a punt and kickoff for touchdowns in consecutive seasons en route to first-team All-America honors in 2018, when he was named the American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Year. In 2015, Jahad Thomas tied a Temple record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and Austin Jones set the school record for field goals made (23) and points by a kicker (113).
I think we would all love those results. What happened? I doubt he forgot how to coach. I think there’s something behind the curtain that has gone on that may still hang with us and a new ST coach. This resume and our results don’t make sense together.
