We almost lose the ut game because of a blocked punt, only to turnaround a few weeks later, and have the same crap happen against Vandy and it does cost us the game. We drive down the field to tie the game at clemson, to have a bad snap. I can handle directional kicking, maybe a bad punt, or a bad return, every once in a while. What I can't handle is blocked punts, muffed catches, returns for TD's etc. Those are the ones that really pp me off. Especially when they seem to be reoccuring. I am also very curious as to when was the last time that we actually had a designed return? We are lacking in the return game very badly.
Like I have said, it is unfortunate CMR can't be an elite coach. He has many of the qualities needed. He knows one side of the ball very well. His offenses are always pretty dang good. But the fact he doesn't truly realize the importance of special teams amazes me. Same can be said about the defense. Not being able to look yourself in the mirror and admit that you messed up seems to be the quality that he is missing. I think I would have more respect for CMR if he came out and said "Look, I thought I could handle the ST, but I am going to need some outside help" and "I thought CTG was going to be our guy, but I was wrong".
I also firmly believe that we need to find someone like Scott Cochran. I really challenge everyone to looks this guys up. Think someone like that would make a difference? I sure as heck do.

He looks and reminds me a little of Gruden.....wild eyed and borderline crazy.
