    He may have taken pride in it - but looking at the record of our FG kickers during his tenure he shouldn't have. Multiple seasons with kickers making less than 60% of their FG attempts. Westerberg's 3 seasons are about the only good ones.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Yeah this. We had good return teams and punters with Jackie but the fg kicking, outside of Westerfield was average at best.

    The rumor is the entire men's soccer team showed up with the head soccer coach to try out.

    Wasn't trying to make it sexist at all.

    Don't know that we were particularly good at it, but he also put a good bit of emphasis on punt block. Supposedly would time punters in warmups to decide if we were going to put the punt block on early.

    I thought about that? I remember when he first played with the Detroit Lions. He had never watched American football, the funny and really good football player Alex Karra, told a funny story on him. Garo made his first FG and he told Alex, "I kick a Touchdown", LOL!

    We need a kicking specialist coach on staff like we had when Chris Boniol was here who has ties to Kohl's kicking camps.

    Auburn puts helium in the ball when they kick.

    That punter we had when we beat LSU at home under Jackie had the slowest time getting it off. Had blocks a lot even during that LSU game.
