Nevada special teams coordinator Thomas Sheffield joined us Tuesday afternoon to talk some special teams.
Sheffield, who has previous coaching stops at Arkansas-Pine Bluff (FCS), North Texas, Mary Hardin-Baylor (D-III - TX) and Sam Houston State (FCS - TX) shares thoughts on how to create a unique culture within your special teams meetings as well as some advice on progressing in the coaching profession.
Here are a few great nuggets I picked up from Sheffield's talk.
- Why you should consider assigning coaches to assist specific special teams positions
- How harnessing a Who Wants to be a Millionaire approach in team meetings can be a huge advantage
- Why you should consider doing a couple full speed reps alongside your guys in-practice
- How asking his players for feedback has contributed to his growth as a coach and coordinator
- Some of the most humbling moments during his time as a special teams coordinator
- Why sacrificing your ego is paramount if you want to climb the coaching ladder
