Special Teams Coach?

[dualthreat]

We don't have a special teams coach listed on the Cyclones.com players & coaches roster. I believe last year it was Joe Houston but he was not retained. His open spot was filled by Matt Caponi who will be coaching the cornerbacks. Who will coach the special teams units this fall?

This crossed my mind when I started thinking about all the depth we have at linebacker and potentially DB. That should be a huge boost on Kick/KR/Punt/PR

They felt that 5 offense and 5 defensive coaches was a better option. Special teams is a community coaching job, multiple coaches helping.

I mean, I'm not questioning what Campbell wants to do with his staff, just wondering who will coach the special team units

I thought Caponi was the safety coach, allowing Heacock to work with the defense as a whole.

Houston got hired by Bama I believe

Good find! On the main page he is not listed as Special Teams. Only "Quality Control"

That word "analyst" means that Hauser cannot do any personal coaching of players. He can break down all sorts of film and talk to the other coaches but that is all folks. NCAA rules only allow 10 assistant coaches.

There was an article about who/how they were doing it when the staff was finalized.

Hmm.. There's something different about the Recruiting Assistant. I can't quite put my finger on what it is though...

They should bring in Ryan Sloth as special teams coach. Sloth for president!

Well played.

Houston is leaving Bama for the Patriots as a special teams coach.
Letting him go was a mistake, in my unprofessional opinion.

I have never seen Campbell get on any coach on the sideline like he did Houston. Doesn't mean anything but always found it intriguing. Interesting to see him continue to get better gigs.

Sometimes certain jobs or places arent a good fit. Doesnt necessarily mean the guy sucks. Our ST regressed even further without him last year. Didnt think it was possible, but they were abysmal once again.

Coming from the guy who's drunk and high every game, I'll take that assessment for what its worth.
