Is it the right move to stick with Cameron, our special teams coach, when the system he's sticking with is so obviously setting us up to fail? Special teams are not complex. I don't believe for a second that there's a 16-20 game learning period when a new special teams coach is hired, like Haynes is reporting in regards to head coaches.
Looking at the numbers today:
PP - 30th - 8.0%
PK - 29th - 72.1%
Combined % - 30th - 80.1%, AINEC. 29th placed team is 86.4%. Obviously, league average is 100%.
If we were even just
average (18%-PP & 82%-PK) in special teams, not good, but
average, we would have 6 fewer GA and 5 more GF through our 15GP. That's a drop of .40 GA/G and an increase of .33 GF/G. Imagine a .73 swing in our goal differential, per game.
Average special teams would have our GF/G increase from 2.53 to 2.87, and our GA/G decrease from 3.67 to 3.27. Our goal differential on the season would decrease from -17 to -6. Important to consider we're also the worst team in the league with the goalie pulled, both in GF and GA. Being average in this special team would close the goal differential gap even further.
How many wins has Dave Cameron cost this team?
How much longer does Glen Gulutzan take the heat for Dave Cameron's failure?
