Fassel won't happen and his boat may have sailed as well being an Assistant head coach he's not likely to come available unless/until Salah gets canned which should happen sooner than later I guess.The sad part is it might be too little too late. Next year fiscally and maybe talent might be a total rebuild, but to be this close and not have reliable special teams has been frustrating to post the least.
If it were me I would go the college route. Hire Doug Deakin of Oklahoma and bring his kicker with him in Tate Sandell and then find a seasoned punter that is an excellent holder too. My choice J.K. Scott of the Chargers. Pay him, solid punter and a history of being an excellent holder for Dicker. Then allow Deakin input on how he can transform the special team unit, like he did at Oklahoma. It is time to allocate resoruces.
FWIW that is plan B, if John Fassel becomes available welcome him back with open arms and give him the resources to transform the unit. Either way, you cannot put a band aide on the special teams any longer and I hope McVay has it in him to allow a transformation.

STs sucked last year but it was the defensive pass coverage that did them in. Abysmal lack of talent.Can this STs be salvaged this season? Last year, they couldn't right the ship and it cost them.If they don't salvage it this year, there 0% chance we do anything meaningful. Not sure what changes they can make because it seems to be a personnel issue.
Pass D was also a problem. But, STs is the reason we didn't get the 1 seed (missed kicks against eagles, Seahawks, punt return for TD, punt drop in NFCCG). Even with the crappy pass D, we would have won the SB if the STs was averageSTs sucked last year but it was the defensive pass coverage that did them in. Abysmal lack of talent.

Omg, Reeder??Ya know, ROD brothers and sisters.....
There is a former Ram Super Bowl Champion MLB now on the Jets who was always a solid special teamer the Rams could probably trade for......
Good post! Kinda like using mouthwash when you have Halitosis.I was surprised Mevis was the only casualty after Monday. It goes much deeper than that.
Fredo may have even been an upgrade.

We have people like emmanuel forbes covering punts...... It's a personnel problem in part due to mcvay.
Maybe he's finally realizing that the special teams mess is his fault?
