He gets the good with the bad....the bad is really bad.
You like our special teams? You don't think the special teams coordinator should be accountable?
Go look at his resume on gogriz. What does it tell you? Stitt needs to let him go..and perhaps some others (secondary).

Pretty sure you are making assumptions based on my statement. And if you make a change to hire a ST coach, what other changes do you make to balance out your staff?

I'd start with replacing Hall and Niekamp. Expand Shann's responsibilities, and hire a new Linebacker coach, and a special teams coach.

What responsibilities more do you mean for Shann? he's the secondary coach, and has full reign over the group include setting the depth chart. DC?

Then there is no need for Hall. None.

I think his health played a big role in why he wasn't returning punts.
I'm not advocating anybody being fired, but I will point out that special teams accounted for 10 negative points today: dropped snap by the punter resulting in a block and TD by UNC, missed extra point, missed chip-shot FG. Heck even if we make the FG and XP, we win by 1.
I heard on the radio broadcast, (Greg Sunberg) the Arron Held the long snapper was benched? Did anyone else hear that? That could explain somethings. Anyone else hear this

Anyone else wish that maybe the Griz kept transfer JUCO kicker Austin Carver? Definitely a better option than what we got. Maybe Stitt should give him a call and beg for his return.
Down the road in Bozo, they are converting extra points.....using a freshman kicker FROM MISSOULA yet here after almost a full season this staff can't get either of 2 recruited kickers from elsewhere to pan out (oh ya the typical Stitt-backers will say it's because they are young.....MSU is using true freshman at both kicker and punter)

Not sure how Semenza rose to the top after going 0-4 on FGs in the spring gameBWahlberg said:
A few just general thoughts, mostly because I disagree with the calls to replace him.
- keep in mind he's also our LB's coach. Most fans seem to be overwhelmingly pleased with the general performance, depth, and talent of our LB corps. He's running that unit as well and is doing a good job.
- the special teams units are made up of a lot of guys playing their first major time as Griz this year. There's a ton of youth out there and it's showing at times. This could be more of an issue with all of the departures and lack of 2-deep depth with in game experience. I'm not saying this is just an excuse to ignore everything and say it's ok - but I think it lends to the discussion of what's going on with some aspects of ST.
