With Eddie Gran as the ST coach, will we see the "Globe Kickoff"?

[sickemsmokey10]

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but for those who are not familiar with Coach Gran he ran this kick off trick play from time to time while he was at Auburn and called it the "Globe Kickoff"...it's really cool to see and I was wanting to get reactions to it.

YouTube - riverboat awesome

Am I the only one who could see that failing miserably?

 

[herkyvol]

I'd be ecstatic if we pulled something like that every now and again.

under the old coaching staff, yes...but Coach Gran has been called a "Special Teams genius" by a couple of outlets. It's all about running it at the right time

Depends on if you see a guy getting leveled from behind and not seeing it coming as miserable...

I very clearly remember Tennessee trying that trash against Alabama in Neyland Stadium.

If I'm not mistaken, every Crimson helmet knew Craig Faulkner had the ball. But I could be wrong on that detail.

the one that comes to mind is Peerless' against Bama in '98

I can definitely see that play failing miserably... or going for 6. I can't decide.

I am in my 4th year at UT, and have been to almost every game (home and away). Still haven't seen a kick returned for a touchdown (kickoff or punt).

Bret Smith ran an onside kick back for a TD against SC in 2004 I believe.

What's funny is the same thing happened to them against UGA earlier in the year. Lou Holtz is a doof!

 

[Knox9552]

Wow that was awesome.

 

[VolSwaff]

Eddie Gran, you are the man.(I hope i never regret saying this)

This is to all of you. It's very simple. High risk/high reward. The possibility of failure is always there.

 

[bdarnell]

Wow that was awesome! Eddie Gran looks like he knows ST.
With that being said, I hope we NEVER try this.

for me, it will just be nice to have someone focus on special teams instead of the old, coach by committee that we have been used to.

There are times it bugs me to no end. But then again I have just as much faith in him as anyone to hit the three...
