Welcome to the Terrible Take, a daily segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

0:20.5

I'm Alex Kizora. My favorite topic,

0:23.3

special teams. For the first time since 2012, the Steelers will have a new special teams coordinator,

0:29.8

that's veteran coach Danny Crossman, and there are some fun storylines. He played his college ball

0:35.1

at Pitt, a starting safety opposite Louis Riddick. He was named

0:39.1

the first ever World Bowl MVP and received a car for it, no word on how he got it back home to the

0:45.2

States. Anne Crossman is, in a sense, reuniting with Mike McCarthy, who was Pitt's GA during

0:51.2

Crossman's final year with the Panthers. But importantly, how good of a coach

0:55.5

is Crossman? That's tough to judge from afar. He's been liked enough to stay in the league since the

1:00.8

early 2000s, Sands last year, sitting out of the NFL. But his units have generally struggled. They

1:06.7

always seem to end in disaster or close to it with Crossman getting fired.

1:11.5

Punting in particular has been an issue, which is already a long-standing problem in Pittsburgh.

1:17.2

In the study that I did, his units just have not been standout or consistent enough.

1:22.1

And my fear is, Crossman's unit will wear out his welcome sooner than later and have fans, myself included,

1:29.6

pining for Danny Smith to come home.
