Gansz is considered a legend in the world of special teams coaching

Frank Gansz is a veteran of 37 seasons of coaching - 24 in the NFL and 13 in the collegiate ranks.

"Frank is a legend in this business and we are extremely blessed to have him join our staff," said Jones. "He is a great person and there's not a better special teams coach out there. He will play a big part in helping us turn this program around."

Gansz was most recently with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he was special teams coordinator in 2000 and 2001. Prior to his time with the Jags, he served as the special teams coach of the St. Louis Rams for three seasons, helping the team to its victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Gansz's NFL career began in 1978 as special teams coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He coached special teams and tight ends for Cincinnati (1979-80), Kansas City (1981-82) and Philadelphia (1983-85). Gansz also coached for the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons.
