IMO he was neither the problem not the solution. As much fun as it was to shit on Reed we need a full time ST coach. Verduzco can go as far as I’m concerned.

Texas reportedly set to make Jeff Banks college football's first $1 million special teams coordinator
FootballScoop reported back on Jan. 5 that Jeff Banks was set to stay at Alabama following overtures from Texas. While that was true at that time, Texas wasn’t offering him $1 million then. Multiple outlets reported Thursday Banks is leaving Tuscaloosa for Austin, and CBS Sports reported Banks...

About to send my resume in, I swear I could get our special teams at least in the top half nationally, like seriously how hard could it be. All I'd ask for is $50k/year, free suite to myself & free training table. Straight cash homey.

No clue, but it seems like you'd want to get a full time assistant to do it

Yep. Common sense says that's the next move. However, common sense also says an already full time assistant coach has to drop out then.....

Verdu to QB Analyst hopefully. That would open a full time spot.

ooooooooooo that's probably the slick move to bring in a Bill Busch. Sean hinted at it earlier. I don't know much about him, but sounds like he's a Nebraska guy.

Bill Busch - he's been touted as a good recruiter, but a bit of an ass to his players. Here's his coaching experience:
COACHING EXPERIENCE
1989 Nebraska Wesleyan (graduate assistant/defensive ends
1990-93 Nebraska (graduate assistant/secondary)
1994 Wisconsin (graduate assistant)
1995-96 Northern Arizona (secondary, 1995; co-defensive coordinator/secondary, 1996)
1997-00 New Mexico State (secondary)
2001-03 Utah (safeties, 2001-02; secondary, 2003)
2004-07 Nebraska (outside linebackers/special teams coordinator, 2004; safeties/special teams coordinator, 2005-07)
2009-12 Utah State (defensive coordinator, 2009-10; associate head coach/safeties/special teams coordinator, 2011-12)
2013-14 Wisconsin (safeties)
2015 Ohio State (defensive quality control)
2016-17 Rutgers (defensive backs, 2016; co-defensive coordinator/defensive backs, 2017)
2018-20 LSU (safeties)

Looks like he's be about as qualified, based on time as a P5 assistant as the rest of the staff combined.

Hire the best ST coach you can find regardless of Nebraska connections though

I will say that I'm intrigued by Polk. He's got ST experience in the NFL and it would add to the diversity of your staff. Busch would probably be more qualified based on the breadth of his experience, but there's something to be said for optics. I know that Steve Warren and Matt Vrzal both tweeted that we should look at him first.
