Huh? That make no sense, especially late in the game.Bobby does not want a touchback. He gets pissed off if his kicker kicks in the end zone.
we need a special teams coordinator.Huh? That make no sense, especially late in the game.

I'm so tired of hearing that BS. Complete nonsense.Bobby does not want a touchback. He gets pissed off if his kicker kicks in the end zone.
Okay, that may be the case during the game but late in the 4th quarter up 8 he would be an idiot to maintain that. If he did then he has a lot to explain. But I think it's because he has kickers who can't consistently kick it deep in the endzone so he goes with what you said.Bobby wants to kick the ball in the corner of the field of play and force a return. He wants it close to the sideline and endzone and with maximum hang time like a punt. Ask him, he'll tell you...
He also says he wants that because you can usually tackle the return guy before he makes it to the 25-yard line. I don't know why that strategy would change during the game...Okay, that may be the case during the game but late in the 4th quarter up 8 he would be an idiot to maintain that.

Well, because you want the opponent to have to use more time when they're down 8 with 7 minutes to go. It's not like it's a miracle for a returnee to return the ball 77 yards in a football game. Case in point. Clemson doesn't win without that return.He also says he wants that because you can usually tackle the return guy before he makes it to the 25-yard line.

But he NEVER wants a 77-yard return. And he would argue that proper execution was the problem on that return, not the decision how/where to kick it. Done properly, Petrino thinks that drive starts around the 15-yard line...Well, because you want the opponent to have to use more time when they're down 8 with 7 minutes to go.

Here's the problem with that - the kick return team has plans to and, is able to properly execute as well. Kick it out of the end zone and that ability goes away. As the RealVille said previously, this "strategy" is used simply because we don't have anyone who can consistently kick it over their heads.But he NEVER wants a 77-yard return.

That's another variable--and far more common--in favor of keeping the ball in play. Kickoffs are occasionally muffed, the guy steps out of bounds, catches it on a knee, doesn't down the ball properly, etc. And if it's in that corner, your cover team is only covering half the field.Have you guys thought about how many times a block in the back is called during a return? The percentages are against a big return.
More completely un-nuanced 'zippisms'. Rewatching the game shows literally zero kickoffs "high and in the corners" but instead, shows middle of the field or hash mark kickoffs being caught at the 5-10 yard line. This can't be Petrino's strategy, simply just another BS opinion by the king of BS on this board - zippee the clown.That's another variable--and far more common--in favor of keeping the ball in play.

A guy like Petrino who thinks football in his sleep, I'm sorry, has more credibility than a few of us who have simplified the quest to a guy with a strong leg...
Telling me I haven't heard the words roll off of Petrino's tongue, a$$hat??...More completely un-nuanced 'zippisms'.
