Not a very good comparison. Hauck has been a special teams coach for other coaches. Special teams is what he knows. Vigen knows qbs and offenses which is a much higher skill set.Phat Daddy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 7:28 pmNobody says UM needs a ST coach. I assume those asking for a ST coach believe Vigen doesn’t have the chops to handle that position or at a minimum, outperform Hauck.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 5:03 pm+1 on that, Mr. Tomcat. Hopefully the defense will continue to eliminate the need to receive more than 1-2 kickoffs per game, and with the new rule pretty much what is needed is good judgment and a good fair catch signal. But there were opportunities for big returns at times. Punt returns need to create a problem for the opposing team, not the reverse. Lots of work to be done there, but with the athletes in hand a lot of yards and a few scores are possible.
I remember at least two kickoffs or punts that were returned for touchdowns that were called back for unnecessary penalties on the return. Didn’t Willie house one against Wyoming that would have been the game winner? That is exactly why a quality special teams coach is needed. The guys are there — what if they were coached up like the defense was?

Re: Where Does the Roster Need Help?
If you're talking about Tua Areta, he was a redshirt freshman who got injured halfway through the season. Way too early to close the book on a guy who was always going to be a project player.

Re: Where Does the Roster Need Help?
Thanks for the info, I had no idea he was injured. I remember several posts about him during the season and don't remember anyone saying anything about injury, but I do remember multiple posters saying he wasn't good enough to crack the two deep. Certainly didn't want to put the kid down as I've been one of his biggest supporters since he arrived. Hope we get to see him dominating on the DL this Fall!BLACKnBLUEnGOLD wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 12:36 amIf you're talking about Tua Areta, he was a redshirt freshman who got injured halfway through the season.

Great time to be a BOBCAT!
