Does it seem to anyone else that special teams still isn't a top priority? In watching a decade of Big Ten football now that seems like a recipe to lose more close games than you win.  Field position is critical more often than not. 

Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa all have full time special teams coordinators for reference.

I'm not sure.   I guess if they get Snyder you can say they are focusing on it but if they don't then I think your question bears discussion. 

 
Still think you need someone on the full time staff at least have the title of special teams coach. An analyst + a GA is fine in theory, but what happens when an opposing staff starts to tweak things in game? Then we respond by our analyst telling our GA to tell the players how to adjust? There’s a reason Iowa, Minny, Wisconsin all have full time (no split duty) special teams coordinators - in some games it’s the difference between winning and losing.
