Mike Niziolek is putting out some solid pieces this week. This one on new special teams and RB coach Stu Holt.

Cole described Holt as a detail-oriented assistant who took his time throughout the offseason to patiently walk each player through their assignments. It wasn't until the season started when Holt's intensity ramped up.

"He's very loud," Cole said. "He don't miss anything. Early on, he takes it kind of easy, then once you learn it he expects you to do your job."

Louisville ranked No. 27 in kickoff returns in 2021 (23.6 yards per return) and No. 14 in punt returns (11.2 per return). Both units managed to score touchdowns last season

"He was always prepared for everything," Cole said. "If we needed to bring the cat out of the bag, he had it in the bag."

I like the sound of this. It's time to get back to our special teams roots.

Is the cat in the bag a cheetah?

I certainly hope so.

Though I'd like to not rule out lion or tiger. Or bear.

Oh my.

The 1960's music from "La Dolce Vita" is a nice touch.

This and the 911 PSA prank with the echo in his headphones, that I think John Boy and Billy pulled on him, are the best.

An idea who will Holt for field goals this year? Every special teams unit needs a good Holter
