    Why would we fire him? Put someone in the ST role, fine, but he turned BBK into a fucking badass and we are recruiting the position fine...

    I wouldn’t say he’s been a fine recruiter. Calvert was a good get this year, and if he actually lands Heimuli then he’ll somewhat have redeemed himself for the weak LB classes of the last few years. But overall he’s been solidly average or mediocre as a recruiter.

    As for development, he certainly deserves a good deal of credit for BBK. But in general, the LBs have been an area of (relative) weakness for our D these last two years, and I think it’s pretty clear that we can do a lot better at that position.

    He was here in 2016 right? He did great with Azeem and got the most out of Bierria. Everyone seems to think Hemuili is a lock, so if we get him I think we are in a good position with his development history.

    We need a new special teams coach though no question

    In fairness the special teams duties weren’t something he was seeking out. In an interview he basically said that nobody wants to coach special teams, as you’re either the hero or scapegoat.

    He's been here basically the whole time. In 5 years, you have:
    1) Azeem gets good, until he gets shown the door.
    2) Kaho is gonna be great, until he isn't.
    3) TryhardWG tries really hard, does pretty good.

    You don't think this is an opportunity to upgrade? BDTW.com* tells me that everything matters! Pete likes coaching continuity and probably isn't going to flip more than 2ish coaches per offseason, so If we're not replacing guys who leave for a promotion, we should really be upgrading our two weakest position coaches every single year. This year, that's Gregory and Lubbick.

    Can't we just crash a hot-air balloon made of cash into the Utah Special Teams coaches' house or something?
