UCLA Football: On dedicated special teams coordinators and lawn chairs

During the Monday, November 5 media availability for UCLA football head coach Chip Kelly, the entire press corps asked a much better than usual set of questions; they went deep into subjects such as WR catching technique and fair catch direction given to the players.

Then at the 5:00 mark, Chip and Ben Bolch had a fascinating exchange on the topic of special teams coaching. Bolch asked Chip if he had considered a full-time special teams coach (as a reaction to the special team’s gaffes this week), and Chip went into a full-on annoyed dismissive hypotheticals-are-silly mode.
