Agree with OP it took Kirk 4 years to figure that out really?
Kirk is #1 in wins all time at Iowa.i have been ripping Vberg all year. Slow and not quick. Barely can get to the ball much less return it. Case in point, Wisconsin game.
Saban thinks special teams is critical and puts his best players at punt return and kick offs.
Kirk is a dummy.
I say YUP no? But a real tough team with HAWK players.Hawk players do not quit yes.Had 4 kick returns regular season is a joke. Good coaching
Ugh.Not to argue Wadley's excellence but this holes were huge. Any of returner would have had similar numbers.
Look, I’m not frustrated with you. I’m frustrated with a staff that stares at league worst kickoff and punt return yardage and acts like there is absolutey nothing they could do about it. How about not having the thirty fifth quickest guy on the team like Colin Sandeman and returning from season ending injury Matt VanDeberg returning kicks????!
I'm gonna say this one more time.
The people that keep saying we won't miss Akrum Wadley are out of their minds.
And you thinking a kick returner is more likely to get injured than a running back is idiocy.
He had his chance early in the year and he was terrible. Was too hesitant and slow, obviously he learned cause he looked decisive tonight
The reason for this is because of wedge blockers and wedge busters. I love how you degrade everyone about how little they know about football but dont know the majority of injuries on kickoffs are these people. If they want to get rid of them, fine. But don't give me this "we cant let someone return kicks because they MIGHT get hurt." Its a garbage argument.

Funny how everyone forgets that. I heard NOBODY complaining when they took him off kick return then.

You are correct. I still miss Willie Fleming.I'm gonna say this one more time.

The guy makes big plays.Even part-time makes huuge sense.As a returner it could have given us a needed Spark in some situation.Like the King "Game changer"So there is one
Change of topic slightly:
The fact that "get the ball to Wadley and pray" isn't going to be in the play book n3xt year is scary in and of itself. That dude bailed the coaching staff out atleast 3 games this year.

Players win games, coaches lose games, officials change games.
