It's a reason the USF head football coach put them under the care of Ray Woodie. "Coach Woodie has earned everything he has gotten. He is smart, passionate and understands our players. Most important all our players respect him," Taggart said in naming him special teams coordinator. Woodie oversaw special teams when he was head coach at Palmetto and Bayshore and helped coach special teams at Western Kentucky when Braden River graduate Willie McNeal made the freshman All-American first team as a kick returner, "Being a successful special teams coordinator is about using your personnel correctly," Woodie said. "You got to find guys who are not selfish and will do their jobs. You need guys who will go 100 percent and understand if they do their job, everything else will work itself out." Woodie said he is looking for aggressive guys who hit hard and understand the scheme they are being asked to implement. "I appreciate Coach Taggart giving me the opportunity and whatever he wants I can make sure it will get done," Woodie said. "You have to be addicted to detail to be successful in this, teaching the schemes and adding new wrinkles." Taking over as special teams coordinator is the second promotion for Woodie since last season. He was named assistant head coach and coaches linebackers, which is the Bulls strongest defensive unit. A person who has a special place in Taggart's heart is former Manatee High Hall of Fame coach Joe Kinnan. The two won a state title together and hope to add some additional laurels this season. Kinnan has worked as senior offensive consultant since the offseason in a position that was made full time this week, though his duties are the same.

We have changed the offense to an up-tempo, no-huddle (attack), which I and Coach Hope have experience with," Kinnan said. "We want to play fast so we tried to really simplify things with our terminology and formations. You are seeing more and more successful teams doing it like Oregon and Ohio State." http://www.bradenton.com/2015/07/29/5916529_usf-bulls-woodie-promoted-to-special.html?rh=1 Read more here: http://www.bradenton.com/2015/07/29/5916529_usf-bulls-woodie-promoted-to-special.html?rh=1#storylink=cpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
