We got our ST coordinator!! Ekeler coming home!!

Ekeler is a fvcking stud!! He will get the clown show ST fixed!! GBR!!

The “run through the wall” mentality of great special teams will be back after a lengthy absence. Of course, he will still need to find good snappers, kickers and punters. But hopefully it won’t be too long before the return game is a weapon.

I honestly think Frost was so arrogant and/or was intimidated by coaches who could expose him as a failure that's why he never tried to get the best.

Most people are that way

Torn on this one. On one hand, I think he’s probably great. On the other hand, feels a little more of the same stuck in the past hire crap we need to be getting away from

If he can coach STs at a high level is all that should matter. I'm hoping like hell he's "allowed" to put some speed and athletes on those return and coverage units. We have too many WR/DBs not to be flooded with speed on STs.

Wow didn't see this one coming. I THINK this will turn out to be a great hire

Ekeler insists on having a kick and punt return game, devises a scheme and practices the hell out of it all season long. Let's have each special teams unit out perform our opponent on game day. Hasn't happened in years. Our punt return unit looks like something that they put as much time into as onside kicks.

I can't even imagine what a legit special teams would do for our program. Ekeler was always enthusiastic about recruiting too. I think we have athletes that can make plays on special teams if given the chance.
