Malcolm Smith was a standout on special teams.
Go Taft!

I really hope that the 10-man Extra Point "snafu" isn't a reference to the Mario Danelo salute we did against Idaho.

Because that would be bad.

Scott,

There is a limit on the number of coaches allowed for a staff.

Whom do you suggest we remove to accommodate a special teams coach?

Trojan_JP: It's not. He was referring to the extra point attempt in the Nebraska game where we only had 10 players on the field and had to take a delay penalty... on accident.

66-19:

Thank you, i must have missed that.

Is T-Mac not both the Runningback Coach as well as the Special Teams coach?

Based on NCAA rules there is a limit on coaches, as someone else mentioned. So the whole village of coaches takes a responsibility in one facet or another.
The coin toss was not a special teams blunder. That is on the shoulders of Pete Carroll. Every 8 year old that played football and was the captain knows that if the other team defers you should probably choose to receive. When it happened Saturday night, everyone was too jacked up and all the captains flat lined and said nothing and then said what they are told to always say, "We want to kick." Carroll has admitted to not handling this contingency ahead of time. Of course, getting your D on the field can be very beneficial in a hostile environment where it is exponentially easier to play defense than offense with the crowd all revved up.
The 10 players on the PAT is both coaching and the captain of the special teams not following through. SC had just lost Joseph and his spot was left vacant on the PAT. The captain of that team needs to coordinate that teams entrance onto the field and should know that they are down a man and follow up with that coach to replace that player.
