Recruiting Coordinator seems about right. Stay away from the teams so they can be special again!

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Well, here's what Land-Grant Holy Land has to say:
Parker “Waste of a Coaching Spot” Fleming
Holy hell, how does this guy still have a job? I’ve said it a million times at this point, but if you are going to waste a full-time assistant coaching position on special teams, that unit had better be excellent. Ohio State’s special teams isn’t even average — it’s actively bad! The Buckeyes’ special teams unit has turned the ball over twice in just the last three games alone, including what could have been a game-losing blunder on a punt against Penn State had the defense not stood on its head. This is in addition to generally poor blocking and returns on both kicks and punts.
It’s a miracle that Fleming’s key card to the Woody wasn’t deactivated before the final whistle. Fleming’s employment is hamstringing Ohio State in more ways than one. While he is clearly bad at the job itself, leading to a special teams unit that will at some point lose the Buckeyes a football game, he is also keeping OSU from having James Laurinaitis on staff as the full-time linebackers coach. It would be fantastic for Laurinaitis to get more of a hands-on role with the ‘weak’ link of the Buckeyes’ defense, and perhaps even bigger to get the charismatic three-time All-American on the road as a recruiter.
The $500,00 albatross has got to go.

I was thinking during the game that Laurinaitis could probably handle special teams in addition to LBs and there probably wouldn’t be a drop off. The thought kept coming back to me every time Ballard fielded a punt within 10 yards of the end zone.
