...get us a new special teams coordinator, too. McMahon has gotten abused by opposing Special Teams coordinators in the last few years. Can you remember the last fake punt or fake field goal we've stopped in the last couple of years? You can't because we haven't.

The numbers below don't lie. Our coverage teams rarely finish in the top half, and our return game is hit-and-miss from year to year.

Special Teams Returns Ranks
2006 - KO Returns 14th / Punt Returns 28th
2007 - 26th / 23rd
2008 - 8th / 4th
2009 - 4th / 31st
2010 - 15th / 23rd
2011 - 3rd / 17th
2012 - 11th / 26th

Special Teams Coverage Ranks
2006 - KO Coverage 16th / Punt Coverage 6th
2007 - 15th / 19th
2008 - 23rd / 25th
2009 - 28th / 32nd
2010 - 24th / 28th
2011 - 28th / 5th
2012 - 24th / 29th

Special Teams will win you or lose you 2 games a year. 2 games is a big difference when you're hanging around .500 or if you're in the position for home field advantage.
