December 9, 20241 yr The regression of special teams this season has been egregious. Banks is an elite recruiter but we need to hire another "special assistant" like Joe DeCamilis to do the actual work.
January 1Jan 1 What the fuck was that on Special Teams today!?I feel I can quote this about 4 times in the last 3 games
January 1Jan 1 Should have been a blocked punt, a blocked FG, Punt return for TD and a very terrible fake punt. The monkey giveth and the monkey taketh.
January 1Jan 1 Good TE coach, time to take away special teams. Beat by another fake punt, extended a drive with a running into the punter penalty. On field coach limits are gone next year right? Go hire a standalone ST Coordinator
January 2Jan 2 I would like to see Banks go outside the box: 1. Find a shitty MLS player to kick FGs, Brandon Aubrey style 2. Find a 7-footer who does nothing but intimidate and block FGs

January 4Jan 4 I can haz nd special teams coach?ND executed that 11 off and on play; meanwhile we’ve been completely unprepared for very predictable fake punts in huge situations against GA and ASU; along with the multitude other ST fuck ups. Banks sucks at prepping the guys, and obviously doesn’t have them ready at the moment in-game. People bitch about Sark, Ewers, and in the past PK; but Banks is fucking killing us.

Simple--Banks schemed up a punt block specifically to free up Blackwell, but then forgot to instruct the very player he specifically schemed to free up on the most obvious fundamentals of blocking a punt. Nice work Banks.

Nice work Banks. You really think that execution was on the coaching and not the player? Sometimes players fuck up. It happens. It looks to me like Blackwell hesitated at the last second and it cost him. I have zero doubt punt block team was coached to take the damn ball off the foot. Banks was livid on the sideline. Now as for the fake punts killing is back to back games in Atlanta, that is inexcusable (even though multiple flags should have been thrown against ASU on that one).
January 5Jan 5 Based on how the punt block team reacted to the asu shift, banks/Tx clearly had something they loved… mo just didn’t execute

January 8Jan 8 The one thing that will give me some solace when the season ends is the knowledge that they will fire his ass.

How about we quit recruiting 17-year old high-schoolers to punt, and go back to NILling 30-year-old Aussie Rules Footballers from Pro Kick Australia? That game has a premium on accurate direction and distance, ability to kick on the run, to either side, and/or running over people when appropriate.

It's my understanding that Dickson was uhhhh inveigled to Austin with possibly less than fully compliant mechanisms. Before NIL was a common designation, but it should be scrupulously proper today. NIL sounds do much more professional than "bag", don't you think?
February 7Feb 7 I'm assuming LSU gave some less than compliant benefits to that kid that they had that they ran fakes with all the time.
October 4Oct 4 How many years is this fucking dork gonna fuck up special teams before he gets reassigned?
October 4Oct 4 This fucker should never have been hired, and should have been fired after practically every year.
October 4Oct 4 IIRC Niblett has had one decent play in ST and about 10 fuckups. By all means, keep him out there. Relatedly, counting returns and offensive plays, he averages about 1.8 yds per touch. We can't recruit or portal better than this?
October 4Oct 4 this fuckstick should be fired, along with his fucking monkey who evidently has been calling the special teams plays. Fuck this guy, his nasty stripper wife and the biting monkey
October 4Oct 4 Meh....not gonna bag on his wife, she's just doing what it takes to support herself and her monkey. Banks is a fucking tool that sucks at coaching. I've lost track of the rules, but can we just have sleazy goons that handle recruiting?

October 5Oct 5 so why did we punt twice in field goal range? our kicker actually seems decent this year
October 5Oct 5 Just now, Drifterwood said: Fire this motherfucker tomorrow. Fuck this guy. Neither the punt team or the TE's can block worth a shit. Fuck this guy, his girlfriend's monkey, and her stripper pole. Fuck errbody
October 5Oct 5 so why did we punt twice in field goal range? our kicker actually seems decent this year The worst part about it is when it was a touchback, and there was only about 20 yards of field gained.
October 5Oct 5 Needs to go. Supposedly his strength was on the recruiting trail but where are the results. Fire him.
October 5Oct 5 Fire Jeff Banks? Yes - right fucking now. It’s well deserved and will hopefully send a message to the rest of the staff.
October 5Oct 5 Sark is too soft to fire his buddies. That's why the likes of Banks, Flood, and Milwee still have jobs. Assistant continuity is overrated. All the great programs have revolving doors at the assistant positions, and they seem to do just fine. Edited October 5Oct 5 by UTEE97
October 5Oct 5 There is one thing you must be sure of I can't take anymore Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey! Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey?
October 19Oct 19 Kicker and punter were the MVPs. Good on Sark for getting a nails kicker upgrade over Bert.
