I know this could be in the special teams forum, but I am not interested in schemes....just some general ideas about how your staffs our organized. Do you have a special teams coordinator? Or assistants in charge of various phases? How involved is your HC? How do you develop game plans?

we have a special teams coordinator who handles everything, and from time to time he has other assistants help out. I have also worked for another coach who for example on punt team, we had separate coaches work with the left side of the Line, the right side of the line, the bullets, the personal protector and the punter.

Each paid coach is responsible for at least one team.
We are a small staff though of 6 coaches

How about some game planning ideas? Do you have a different punt block for each of the protection schemes? Who is responsible for defending muddle huddle PAT?

OC - Punt, PAT, KOR
DC - PR, Field Goal, Kickoff
We have a very small staff (5 total) so we kind of do everything

Eight coach staff: 1 guy is the special team coordinator, he is in charge of the schematics.
Everyone but the QB coach has a job during special teams. Each week we have two special team circuits with various drills. 7 different stations going on during those time, each coach has a drill. Players only go to two of the stations for their various skills.
Each position on the various special team is then divided up among they coaches, (maybe only 3-4 coaches per special team) and they are responisible to coach up their positions during those periods, generally their positions tie into the drills they run during the ciurcuits.

Have done it where each coach is in charge of a team and have done it where there is one ST coordinator and each coach has a position on each special team. I personally like the latter way much better. I liken it to a situation where only one coach would take care of all the positions on the offense and another coach take care of all the positions on the defense (I know some small schools/teams/programs where this has to be the case. But if there are more coaches, what are they doing during that time?).
the way that we work it, some groups can also steal extra indy time too. For example, when we are doing kickoff drills, none of our o-linemen are on kickoff team, so our OLine coach works with those boys and the OLine coach does not have a kickoff team responsibility.

We just had our ST coordinator retire at the end of the season. Next year we will split duties between myself and the other co-haed coach. I'm co-head coach and OC and will do punt team, KO return and PAT/FG. The other co-HC is the DC and will dot KO and PR.

But if there are more coaches, what are they doing during that time? I know you already mentioned extra indy time. That's what we do. Our DC was punt block/return coach. So he coached up the group, our punt team coach coached the scout punt team and the rest of us pulled what kids were left to get in some extra indy or o/d scheme work. |

Punt Return, Punt & Kickoff handled by Defensive (assistant)
PAT, KO Return handled by Offensive (assistant)
ST are extensions of those units

I didn't explain it very well, but, the point that I'm trying to make is: having all the kids coached by individual positions on each special team is my number one priority. Secondarily, if we can organize it so we can steal extra indy time on top of it, then that is perfect. I think there is more than one way to accomplish both of those things... our way is having a special teams coordinator and individual position coaches for each special team |

WR/DB Coach=Kickoff, PR
FB/LB Coach=KR, Punt
I coach the extra point team. I also oversee the whole picture.
Our OL/DL coach does not coach any of the special teams which allows him extra time to work with the linemen. When we are working on KO/KR all the linemen are having extra individual time. Works out nicely. Then we call over the ones we need for punt and punt return.

I am HC and STC. I am in charge of every unit, and assign 3-4 coaches to Position Groups within each unit. I agree with Rookie that it is extremely important that each player has a position coach and the accountability that goes along with it. We also try to steal some additional indy timee by limiting ST duties for QB coach and OL coach.
