Thought we'd get an announcement this past Christmas part 3 (signing day 2/7/18). Now that Edsall's entrenched in place for a full year I suspect we'll go back to how he used to do some things... Like provide an updated roster when Spring ball starts (no sooner) along with the anouncement of a Special Teams coach...

I predict that that none of us will know anything about this coach, people will get excited about the hire, and want him fired by November.

If this was Fiasco's staff, why the hell would we need a special teams coordinator? Granted, Bob might hire a coach to constantly remind the players that they are 'special'... But it's not like punt returns are important!
