Special teams coordinator Chris Norris has been let go. Odom wanted to add a fifth member to his defensive staff, so Bell let Norris go to make room. There will be no special teams coordinator this year, yet different coaches will coach different phases of special teams. Interesting to see how that will work out…

I thought our special teams played well but I don’t know for sure. I am not a coach or a judge of what is a good or bad coach.

Ugh. If y'all recall, Speir did something similar and special teams suffered almost immediately, specifically kick off coverage became a real problem.

Kirwin and Jerry evidently work well together as they won a National championship in 2018 at Valdosta State University. I think with the extra defensive coach, they can work together go share working with the special teams players, and hopefully we want suffer with poor special teams this fall.
My prediction is 5 wins at home and 3 to 4 wins on the road, which adds up to a 9 or 8 win season. Kirwin is the man and Jerry Odom is a GREAT asset to our coaching staff.
GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only good thing Speir did was finally get fired!!! In my life experience, I have never witnessed someone earn their termination from a position, over and over!! The BOT at the time his contract was extended should all be paying back the school for the money wasted on his contract. |

I don't like that move at all right now but I guess we will have to see how it turns out. Having different coaches all with possibly different ideas and their hands in it does not sound good to me.

If everyone remembers at times this past season we gave up alot of yardage on kickoff to the other teams....Coach Bell even mentioned it on his show and I recall him making the statement there will be changes before the next week's game.....Plus keep in mind our kickoff man was hurt and we couldn't get the ball in the endzone for touchbacks.....Richard's leg just wasn't strong enough....We will be ok because Coach Bell knows what the hell he is doing and the other guy well whatever.....

The BOT at the time his contract was extended should all be paying back the school for the money wasted on his contract. The odd thing about that extension was that it was a unanimous decision. Even with his atrocious record, not one member of the BOT voted against the extension. That’s some serious group think going on. That tells me that the board just follows the leader and the members don’t think for themselves. We don’t need a BOT if they are just a rubber stamp and data shows they are a rubber stamp. |
