Will you be at @2026BONECAMP on Friday? If so, find @CoachMack36! Our STC will be evaluating talent all day!

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

If Kirk Ferentz and the Big Ten coaches are against the new punt rule, then everyone needs to get in line.

[#TeamsTalk @talk_teams]

Positively absurd take.

If this were the case - why are there NO STCs in favor of this rule? Not one I know thinks this should be implemented.

While we’re at it, let’s ban shifts / motions on offense and disguising coverages on defense. Those are meant to confuse as well.

Love it when coaches bring actual data to an argument to strengthen their position of how dumb a new punting formation rule change is by the NCAA.

👇 Here’s your reason why successful ST Units went away from the 2x2 formations.

[Danny McKenna @CoachMack36]

@tjmcaulay @tjmcaulay I would love to! The linked article is from the great coaches at @XandOLabs that allowed me to write for them about punt formations over a decade ago. Punt team “creativity” isn’t new. @LeVarWoods @coach_corcoran @CoachZacBarton

[Terry McAulay @tjmcaulay]

There most certainly is a compelling reason. Kicking teams had become extremely creative with formations in order to confuse the receiving team with respect to who may or may not be eligible, i.e., who needed to be covered in case of a fake punt.

There was an unfair advantage that is now significantly reduced or eliminated.

Fundamental principle of the rules: Start the play fairly for both sides of the ball.

[Sean Corcoran @coach_corcoran]

Ah yes, the NFL... beacon of rules we all can agree on... This is college STs, what ST position requires a certain number (before this rule)? Just a small amount of film study by a capable STC can spot punt formations with unusual eligibles, its the same rules as an offense.

[Sean Corcoran @coach_corcoran]

Wildly stupid. Unfair advantage? Ive made an entire career on putting fake punts on tape. It exposes when the opponent just glosses over Punt Ret or STs in general. The rule change penalizes teams who MAKE STs a weapon of action and not just a stopgap between O and D.

[Zac Barton @CoachZacBarton]

🚨🤯

[LeVar Woods @LeVarWoods]

We certainly wouldn’t want any creativity now would we?

What unfair advantage? The one that requires the defenders to know where the eligible players are & account for them? Perhaps we should require every offensive formation to use 2 backs & 3 TEs so we know who’s eligible.

[Craig Jipson @CoachJipson]

Really hard knowing these guys won’t be reporting in August.

I cannot thank them enough for the impact they made on my life.

With that said, they also deserve a home. A chance to be great as I know they can be. Any coaches feel free to reach out, great players and great people
