Fitz inherited the job as Head Coach AND Special Teams coach from RW. He said as much in his
first press conference - he "had a book on special teams" that he was going to use.

RW apparently played special teams and studied their play at other schools, he did the job the
whole time at NU and maybe even Miami (altho I don't know that for sure).

In any case, Fitz needs to spend less time with the LB's and more with the special teams, and
please contract with a kicking coach in the off season, or better find a volunteer kicker from
the alumni who live in Chicago.

> As in right now. 

Um, I think we already have the full complement of coaches permitted by
the NCAA.  I cannot think of any college teams that have a coach who ONLY 
does special teams.

That means that you either have to have the head coach take on special 
teams (like Frank Beamer at VT) or have one of the assistants do
double duty.

It is not immediately obvious from the NU website who handles special
teams coaching duties.
