4DE Nation!  We had a great interview (season 3 episode 74) with long time college special teams coach Travis Walch (formerly of the University of St Thomas) where we covered many different topics from a coach's perspective, related to recruiting, transferring, handling practices and more! We had so much great content that we decided to break the questions down into individual segments.
