I just don't understand

I thought it was Boniol, but whatever

it's funny though, since Hoffman couldn't stop them from sliding into oblivion

Cunningham had two pretty good years here one being 80% and the other being 90%

Then he went to Carolina in 99 where he only had like 3 or 4 kicks.

Dallas signed him back later in 99 and he only could make just about 55%...I guess that Hoffman magic did not work the second time around.

After that he either washed out or was injured because in 2000 and 2001 (in Carolina again) he attempted a total of 8 FGs.

"He's wiry!"

or

"You just hold the ball, Shane, and I'll kick the bloody piss out of it."

or

"Let's play football, *****."

Yup, that's the kinda kicker we need.

Hoffman done well in the beggining but acting like we fired him while he was on top of his game is false. Hoffman was here from 1989-2004


Here is our kickers (not including what he inherited in 1989)

1990 Ken Willis 18-25 72.0%

1991 Ken Willis 27-39 69.2 %

1992 Lin Elliot 24-35 68.6% (Superbowl year)

1993 Signed 13 year vet Eddie Murray 28-33 84.8%

1994 Chris Boniol 22-29 75.9%

1995 Chris Boniol 27-28 96.4%

1996 Chris Boniol 32-36 88.9%

1997 Richie Cunningham 34-37 91.9%

1998 Richie Cunningham 29-35 82.9 %

1999 Cunningham (12 games) 15-25 60.0% Then we brought back Murray

2000 Tim Seder 25-33 75.8%

2001 Tim Seder (8 Games) 11-17 64.7%
John Hilbert (8 Games) 11-16 68.8%

2002 Billy Cundiff 12-19 63.2%

2003 Billy Cundiff 23-29 79.3%

2004 Billy Cundiff 20-26 76.9%



So there you have it, in 14 years of being our kicking coach we had 5 seasons of good kicking and one of those was us signing a 13 year vet when Hoffmans prospect failed


Hoffman's kickers career FG%? 365-471 thats about 77%

The truth is that it is actually more like a "fraternity" if you will.

There is ALOT more to it than you realize.

It's almost to the point of once you are in (as a kicker) it's harder to get out.....look at Cortez. There is NO reason why he should have stuck around the NFL as long as he did.

Every year, hundreds (if not thousands) of college kickers graduate. Then you have the guys in the Arena League and NFLE. And yet, fossils like Morten Anderson still have a job. Am I underestimating just how hard this position is?

Short answer, yes.
