Ed Foley


I'm going to go against the grain and suggest that this is just as much about the players as it is the coach. In fact, maybe more so. I believe it comes down to pride and accountability.
I don't think you are far off. Some of the mistakes were player issues, but scheme and a few other things were not. Long story short the special teams are not getting better, and he is ultimately responsible for that. I do think it's time to move on.
 
An interesting exchange:

It wasn't a single aspect of ST that were bad. Across the board (other than the punter's passing ability) the ST were poor (last year and even worse this year). There were so many mistakes throughout the season and very few positives, that I think it goes beyond an individual player or two. As a coach, Rhule has to make a statement that that level of incompetence in a particular unit can't stand and changes have to be made. He absolutely has to fire Foley.
Special teams was a complete cluster all year. Kickoffs out of bounds, kickoff return out of bounds on the 1, bad snaps on field goals, multiple blocked punts. Im sure I’m missing something…
 



I'll lose my mind if Foley is back as ST coordinator or has any hands at all on that unit. They've been a disaster under him. I don't care if he's kept on staff in some other role, but ST has to get a fresh approach and completely new set of eyes and expectations. Busch would be an immediate upgrade right under NU's nose, but I'm sure Rhule can find someone somewhere who can come in and try to turn it around.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Foley cannot be rolled back out a third time.
 
Special teams cost us 13 pts yesterday. Whether it was points for or against us. It's amazing that we have a winning record this year considering we we spotting our opponents 1/3 of the game. Hopefully we get a new coordinator and are playing on even footing with our opponents.
 

FFS just hire Bill Busch already! Hell I’m fairly certain a fence post would be an upgrade at this point.
