Special Teams

Turns out the UH football team doesn't have a designated special teams coach.

The Warriors' staff shares in the duties of preparing the kickoff, punt, field goal and their respective return units. Running backs coach Mouse Davis is technically the coordinator, but that is an administrative title, head coach June Jones said.

"He puts together the meetings," Jones said. "But we spread (the responsibility) out. It's all of us."

Defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville has a big hand in the special teams, with several other assistants also involved. But Jones said there is no on-field coordinator or coach in charge of special teams overall.

"That's the way we've always done it," he said. "Even last year."

He said the Warriors spend more time on special teams practice, "than any place I've been before."

"Most do just 20 minutes on Friday," he said.

Jones said yesterday he plans no major changes to special teams -- other than improvement in execution.

June says we played great and should've won this game. I know how he must feel, I'm reliving plays that could've gone the other way. So many chances. Sigh.
