The Arizona Wildcats’ new special teams coach is Jeremy Springer, who served as a quality control special teams/tight ends assistant under Kevin Sumlin at Texas A&M the last three years.
Springer, in his first full-time coaching position, has a lot of work ahead of him. The Wildcats ranked 111st in college football in special teams efficiency — the average value generated per possession by a team’s non-offensive and non-defensive units — in 2017.
Texas A&M ranked 37th.
We got our first chance to talk to Springer since he was hired in January.
