Coaching Staff News and Rumors

[ChaosTheory]

What a relief. I was getting worried we were going to get stuck with one of these pussies with a regular sounding name.

Uh-oh.

The Browns just fired their Special Teams Coordinator and have requested permission to interview Bubba Ventrone.

The Browns requested an interview with Colts special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone, who is considered a top candidate for the same job in Cleveland, per sources.

A former Browns special teams ace, Ventrone has led one of the NFL's top units in Indianapolis.

Bubba Ventrone has some support to stay in Indy, but he’s exploring some other options, too.

The Colts are allowed to block the interview request, but they’ve had weeks to create clarity here and yet here we are. This has a real chance of happening.

I don't know about that. ST has been a bright spot for us in recent years.

Special teams are undervalued. Remember how infuriating it was to have shitty special teams? Don't do Cleveland any favors.

for lateral move, block that shit unless bubba is really pissed about not getting the HC gig.

Bright spot on shitty teams, on playoff teams special teams are irrelevant

Unless a spark is needed good teams fair catch / down everything so their star players get all the stats.

Without google name me the chiefs return man and punter

Seriously? You don't think special teams are relevant on good teams. Tell that to the 1970 Colts who won the Super Bowl on a last play field goal. Or the Buffalo Bills for that matter (SB 25) who lost it the same way. Lots of games are won on field position and special teams are integral to good field position. I disagree and the fact that ChaosTheory can or cannot name the punter on KC is irrelevant. Maybe he is like me and doesn't give a shit about other teams. Your point that ST players are unheralded is very true. So are offensive lineman but that doesn't make them irrelevant. The fact that he is trying to be poached (even if it is Cleveland) supports Bubba's value. Plus I like having Bubba's on staff.

Kadarius Toney returned punts for KC in the SB. In fairness the only reason I know that is because he had the longest punt return in SB history and it happened to be a pretty damn big play. Yeah if I had to pick a weakness I’d probably pick ST over O or D. But that doesn’t mean it can’t make or break your season.
