STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Kickers in college football find themselves flying solo much of the time.
Many coaches admit they don’t have any expertise in kicking and say they can’t devote an assistant coach solely to teaching it. The NCAA limits schools to one head coach, nine assistant coaches and two graduate assistants, and most programs choose to focus their staffs on other positions.
That means the kickers end up coaching themselves to a large degree.
At Oklahoma State, kicker Dan Bailey says he often seeks out the punter with questions. He’s made all 13 of his field goal attempts this season.
