Special Teams Coach Bob Ligashesky will not be retained for next season.

I think PJ should coach special teams. Clearly he knows what he wants, but can’t find someone to do it.
 

I believe Lig was also the third highest paid asst on the team so probably looking to save some money there
 


Hopefully we can find a new coach that can bring along a great kicker.
 



We need playmaking from our special teams, we can’t just mail it in and play to avoid a mistake.

I don't agree with Koi Perich being a bright spot on special teams. He has the one punt he nearly ran back for a TD but he also muffed 2 punts and his average punt return decreased by nearly a third compared to last year.

Weston was also 12th in average punt distance in the conference of punters with significant playing time compared to being 9th in the conference in 2024.

Hard to tell what was coaching vs players but special teams was a weak point this year.

Agree! Add on that we are rarely able to return punts because our blocking of the gunners absolutely sucks.

And in addition Callahan developed a couple of NFL guys at Western Michigan. NFL 2nd round, Taylor Moton and NFL 3rd round in Chukwuma Okorafor. Add them to the two Gopher 2nd rounders and Faalele in the 4th round. Callahan is not the issue. That's 5 picks in rounds 2 thru 4.
When Kirk Ciarrocca is the offensive coordinator Callahan is elite. Ciarrocca was also at Western Michigan for those two NFL O-Linemen. Harbaugh is the issue.

Ding, ding, ding. Ciarocca is a very, very good offensive coach.
