Special teams often gets overlooked but it is vital to winning football games. John Harbaugh, a former special teams coordinator, fielded the best team in the league this year and already has a Super Bowl ring on his finger. Joe Judge, the Patriots special teams coordinator since 2012, just got hired as the New York Giants head coach. And Bill Belichick has repeatedly professed the importance of quality special teams play.
Well, it seems like new Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy understands this too, since he he will reportedly hire John Fassel as his special teams coordinator.
