The right guy to make the Saints special teams excel
There may only be one guy out there who could make our special teams great. We just all saw him in action last night. Clemson Special Teams coach Danny Pearman. His resume is impressive and worked under special teams guru Frank Beamer for many years.
Highlights from last night's game - - Kickoff placement was outstanding and pinned Bama inside the 20 at least once. - Kickoff returns were executed and blocked very well. Two of them almost were sprung for TD's if not for Bama's great pursuit and tackling. - On a few bad snaps on extra points/field goals, the holder and kicker showed great discipline under pressure to still get the ball through the uprights. - Well-executed directional rugby punting to take Alabama's punt return unit completely out of the game. This was important because Clemson had to punt a lot. - The smart and well-executed pooch punt by Watson. - Even with one second left, Clemson opted to execute the onside kick instead of the squib kick to ensure Bama had no chance to touch the ball again. The kick and recovery was executed perfectly. Any other football team at any level would have simply squibbed or sky kicked, but Pearman opted for the less conventional choice. It's this extra attention to detail which I find impressive. With Clemson's kind permission, we need to interview this man. |

I didn't have the chance to watch the game but I like your reasoning for why he would be a good choice.

I'm 99% certain Payton and Loomis have a top 10 list of special teams coaches they like.
Now its just a matter of how much will it take to hire them |

If they want them then it doesn't matter. Benson will fork over whatever it takes. Coaching salaries don't count toward the cap. You can spend as much as you want.

Re: The right guy to make the Saints special teams excel
We all realize this. That doesn't mean it would be easy to get them. If they are in high enough demand, it turns into a bidding war, and every owner has their limits on what they will pay an assistant.
