Playing down to opponents!!!

This Scott Booker (Special teams Coord) has GOT TO GO!!!!! Can't kick ... cant receive ... cant run ... cant punt ... cant cover!!! My god ... how many more years does ND have to suffer through absolutely NO special teams!?!?!?!?! They suck on special teams ... this is the difference in the game right now IMO.

I pull the hairs outta my head every time ND has to do something on special teams ... its FNG ATROCIOUS!!! ABSOLUTE EMBARASSMENT!!!

We're lucky this game isnt 21-13 right now!!! Absolutely ridiculous. ND is getting outcoached again and this team has a rookie freakin head coach!!! Rees is holding up his end of the deal ... how about the rest of the coaching staff and team step up and play to their potential??? Great couple of opening series ... then ... flat tire(s)!!! Ridiculous!

Yeah ... I'm pissed ...

Calm down? LOL ...

OK ... I will when this team starts learning how to field a punt/kickoff return ... or cover a punt/kickoff ... without looking like a Junior High School team for the last 3+ fng years. It's embarassing and it still continues ... Booker needs to go!!!!

I guess maybe you havent followed this part of Irish football the last few years??? It has cost us critical field position and possessions time and time and time again ... and kept other teams in the game. This might not seem important to you, but it's these "little things" (LOL) that count against this team. Anybody that has been REALLY following the Irish knows exactly what I'm talking about!

Look its a legitimate gripe. We're in year 4 of the Brian Kelly era and special teams are terrible. That's not the biggest worry right now but I'd be concerned about next weeks game right now.

Our special teams is not the biggest worry... yeah ok? It kills us ... every fng game. Maybe we got lucky last year against Purdue and Pitt ... but guess what? It was the fng special teams that kept Purdue and Pitt in the game! Or werent you watching???

Again ... this team just sux at anything concerning special teams ... 3+ yrs of this crap and it still continues ...

I don't disagree that special teams suck but our defense did not dominate a physically inferior opponent and bit on every play action fake. That's a much bigger problem not our inability to kick or punt or cover kickoffs.

We haven't really had any special teams since Gatherall and Jones were returning balls.

Look at the special teams stats ... then get back to me. We got lucky at the end with fumble ... think we'll get that against any other team??? WE SUCK on special teams and this coach, Booker, HAS GOT TO GO ... after three yrs of this aboritionism ... sorry, but he does ... he totally sux and is costing us!!!!

Has anyone told these guys to stay in lanes when going down the field on kickoffs. If Temple had any speed they could have broken two for td's.
