I see that you posted a few minutes before me. I started my post, and had Cafego on my partially finished list when my wife came home with groceries. I came back and finished, and then noticed your post about Cafego. His results tell us all we need to know about his effectiveness as a special teams coach. We had some tremendous punters under him.The best position coach EVER was George Cafego. He understood and taught the intricacies of the kicking game in a way that has never been matched. Little things that go unchallenged were keys. For instance, when kicking to an out of bounds sideline, always kick to the side across your body (right foot - left sideline) because almost all poor kicks that go off the side of the foot go off the outside. That way the ball goes down the field instead of shanked out of bounds for a 5 yard kick.
I would have a hard time on the DB coach between Buddy Bennett and George McKinney. McKinney was at U.T. from 65-69. Great teams and coaches both.Head coach - Neyland
OC: Al Saunders
DC: Ken Donahue
RB: Johnny Majors
OL: Phil Fulmer
LB: John Chavis
DB: Buddy Bennett
Special Teams: bad new Cafego is the only choice
. (Bennett's Bandits set records for interceptions
Al Saunders wrote the play book with Majors in the 80s that lasted forever. Very creative going 5 wide before it became popular.
I'll admit that those are some really good choices top to bottom. Great work.Head coach - Neyland
