It’s one of the biggest reason why SF has a losing record in Lincoln..That's the problem - we don't even have a St coach... But for some reason we need two linebackers coaches and a te coach...

Just terrible.
Just terrible.
Which block wall should they be talking to?This is just pathetic.
Mike Dawson (Outside LB Coach) is also the ST coach. He does a great job at LB but they need to get rid of Harry Potter and make a Full Time ST coach. Hell why do we need 2 LB coaches?That's the problem - we don't even have a St coach... But for some reason we need two linebackers coaches and a te coach...
Except the punter is not supposed to be apart of the trickDo you know who else is on the "wrong" side of the field? All of the MSU players. This was a trick play and we got out-coached.
The schemes have been better this year IMO. Individual performances by players have not.Interesting note, we have 2 former special teams coaches on the support staff in Bill Busch and Bobby Maffei.

Dawson is fine as a special teams coordinator IF you have somebody on your staff be it even a GA who can coach your kickers OR if you have a proven punter and kicker. Damn. It isn't that tough to punt the ball 30+ yards out of bounds. That's all we needed on that punt that ended in a TD.Mike Dawson (Outside LB Coach) is also the ST coach.

Seriously? I see 2 Mich St players back to return.There are no MSU players on the side where the ball was kicked. What are hash marks 10 or 15 yards apart ? So the kick was not off by more than 15 yards. Face it, this was not the kickers fault. We got tricked into not knowing where the ball was.

I’m actually shocked we rank that high! With 7 more games to go I’m sure we’ll be at the absolute bottom by season’s end.
Ok look. If the ball is kicked to the side it was supposed to be kicked to then the returner would have had to call a fair catch or the ball would have went out of bounds.There are no MSU players on the side where the ball was kicked.

Do people really believe this was anything other than a shanked punt?There are no MSU players on the side where the ball was kicked. What are hash marks 10 or 15 yards apart ?

Not sold on Dawson as fine. Did you hear his interview yesterday? I know he's had the ST gig for just this past year, but halfway into this year and still not have a viable punt return unit is not fine to me. I know that Oliver Martin is injured but there was no backup plan here, and it looks like the unit is going full Santino mode on punt returns.Dawson is fine as a special teams coordinator IF you have somebody on your staff be it even a GA who can coach your kickers OR if you have a proven punter and kicker.

The lack of execution on simple things is just mind-boggling. The punter wasn't pressured, the snap was good, but yet it was punted the wrong way. I heard about a HS team that looks at statistics and found that going for it on every 4th down was a better strategy than punting or kicking field goals. I think they went undefeated. At this point, as bad as things are with ST, we might as well go all in and just go for it every 4th down. Also, because the defense is guaranteed at least another snap each series (unless there is a turnover) it can help wear down the opposing defense faster.I'm just speechless as to the keystone cops comedy hour. If we amateur armchair coaches know where the problem lies with this team you know Frost does too, but he's too loyal to doing anything with the coaches who are responsible and that's what's on him.
Dawson was not involved with recruiting our current punters I don't believe. Scheme wise and blocking (other than Piper on that extra point) IMO has been better this year. We've just had punters and kickers fall apart under pressure IMO. Culp seems to have gotten his head back together albeit a game late. We need to either stick with Pyrstup or use a walk on who can get it 30 yards down the field in the right direction. The punting is a head scratcher. I thought they had it fixed after the punts at OU.Not sold on Dawson as fine. Did you hear his interview yesterday?

Who on staff is identifying personnel here? The punters don't appear to be division I level and weren't last year either. They need a talent upgrade there big time.

Fielding the punts is a problem but that isn't necessarily because of the scheme. That MSU punter laid some wicked punts with weird spin on them out there. As somebody who caught punts, I wouldn't have wanted any part of them and a good chunk of the yardage he got out of them was on the bounce. Those were extremely risky punts to field. Good heavens the one where he did airmail it was 20 yards over Toure's head. CTB while he might be an explosive returner didn't do us any favors by trying to handle punts he should have stayed away from. I'll stick to my guns about Dawson. I don't think he's the problem other than that he isn't a punting and kicking coach. I've said for weeks that we need one less offensive coach and a dedicated special teams coach with expertise in coaching the feet guys.Scheme and blocking wise we have been better this year? Explain away our punt/kick return numbers then. Both are abysmal.
This garbage staff can’t even find a player who can field a punt at this time.
The special teams analyst who was calling the shots last year got fired. Dawson has been a special teams coordinator at previous stops. He knows what he's doing but we need somebody who can coach kickers.People on here wanted the special teams coach fired, But he got 175,000 raise.. Only at Nebraska can you do a shitty job and get a raise... But he also coaches outside linebackers.
