4DE Nation! You don't want to miss this one!! Whether you are a parent, specialist, coach or just a fan of special teams, this one is a fantastic interview. We interviewed long time college special teams coach, no retired, Travis Walch. We covered many topics that everyone can learn from. Before stepping away, Travis was a long time (and successful) Special Teams Coach with the University of St Thomas football program. Its the school co-host Chris Husby graduated from, and then later served as the Specialist Coach in the 2017 season. If there was a recruiting question out there for a specialist to hear, we covered it! We wanted to hear it from a coaches mouth! Everything from tips to talking to a coach, turn offs in recruiting, showcasing abilities, struggles freshman college specialists see and more! We ever talked about whether there is a future for specialist coaches at the college ranks. For the coaches listening, we talked special teams strategy, tips and ideas that can help your program. As we wrapped up the conversation, Travis gave his thoughts on the hottest topic in college football, what's next for the University of St Thomas football program, who was recently involuntarily removed from the M.I.A.C sports conference.We hope you love this one.
