Episode Details

Michigan’s special teams are getting a full-scale rebuild after a shaky 2023 season, with new coach Kerry Coombs stepping in to fix the unit’s glaring flaws. Once a key part of Harbaugh’s championship teams, Coombs made an immediate impact in the Citrus Bowl and now faces the challenge of turning around a struggling kicking game — led by Dominic Zvada, whose accuracy plummeted from one miss to seven. The return and coverage units also suffered from inconsistency and penalties, leading to the firing of former coach JB Brown. Coombs is aggressively recruiting top talent, including transfer kicker Trey Butkowski — a Lou Groza Award watchlist contender — and dynamic return specialists to boost ball security and explosive plays. With a brutal schedule ahead, Michigan’s new special teams staff is laser-focused on becoming the nation’s best — no more costly mistakes allowed.
