If Strong as a head coach is neglecting special teams in practice how is that Burke's culpability.  Maybe it is Strong's we dont know.  Special Teams was a **** show at Texas too.

I have to agree.

I wonder why UCF wasn't trying to block punts last night too.

Special teams were egregiously bad all year. Eventually they fatally bit us.

Its hard to play against the refs and a good team. That was a great game,  Q had an amazing performance, we had our opportunities but the game wasn't called fairly. That plus little mental breakdowns cost us. 

this is why you need a better schedule thought our flaws tonight were same flaws all year long

Why hasn’t he been fired yet?

CCS is still waiting for his phone to ring.

Justin Burke has limited special teams experience.  He has been with CCS for a long time and sadly the likelihood that he will be fired is slim.  Burke played QB for CCS at UL, and played various rolls on CCS's staff at UL & UT.  CCS should move him to tight ends coach solely (currently TE & ST assistant coach), and hire a new special teams coach.  This has been a thorn on our side all season.  A change with coaching at special teams is necessary and needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

While not a complete repeat of our experience with the staff here some things seem similar:

In terms of special teams, he fired himself months ago...he just did not tell anyone.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
