I'm pretty sure our numbers were towards the bottom of the conference last year. Plus it's not just the ST's, it's the fact that he takes away a assistant from another position (RB)

CU football: Toby Neinas seeks strong start for Buffs special teams

Special teams were, according to the Hawaii Sports dude, one of their strengths. ST wasn't a factor at all in Saturday's game. If it can't be a strength, it shouldn't be a weakness. I'm going out on a limb and saying that ST has stopped being a weakness at CU. It's not a strength, but it's not killing us, either.
Yep the change in strategy on kickoffs has improved things.
Not hard to argue that Neinas's postion of responsibility cost us a game that we should have won. Doesn't matter if a loss is at the start of a season or the end it still counts.
We can't afford to give away the games that we should be competing in. I would hope that M2 takes a good look at the staff make-up for next year.
Let's withhold judgment until we play at sea level again. I think we'll actually have to cover some kickoffs this weekend--yikes!
True. It has covered some deficiencies so far. Maybe Diego gets some kickoff duties this week since he has a cannon of a leg.
Yup. +1
That was a very very gutsy call. Thought I was day dreaming.

Wouldn't that me Mac's call, not Toby's?
Should be. Nobody should ever call a fake punt or onside kick except for the head coach.

But Toby had to have them prepared to execute it.
Correct.

We don't play CSU Week 1 or 2 so we should be able to play two weeks and struggle in specials and be 2-0.

This, especially if our extra point team is getting a lot of work.
A ****ing barn, dumpster, or whatever other type of fire you want to call it. Special teams were the difference yesterday in all phases and cost us the game. Uggggggggggggg, Neinas has to go.
Dear God. Even worse than I thought. 250k for that garbage? It looks like he's extremely lucky to have Darragh O'Neill

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
O-line looks pretty good, solid recruiting too.

I guess we disagree. Sefo constantly under pressure, can't make 4th and short, Callahan not being used at all. I'm not sold on him, but between the 2, Neinas should definitely go first.

You can replace an O-line coach mid season. I say we give him the offseason to get his **** together. I'm on board to burn Norma's the day after Utah.

Hopefully there will be numerous coaching evaluations and adjustments made come December - although it wouldn't surprise me if there weren't any changes until after Feb. signing day.
Charlie Weis for special teams!
