If we had a decent offensive coordinator, we wouldn't need a damned punter!
Every team needs a good punter, a good place kicker (for extra points, field goals and deep kickoffs), a good return man and good kickoff and punt coverage.....all of which comprise the kicking game.
Yep...I thought Veritas had his tongue firmly in his cheek...

Darrell Ray, Joe Washington, Joe Don Looney come to mind.
BTW, I was not overlooking any sarcasm.

Yeah, forgot about Darroll Ray playing DB and P back in the late 70s. He went on to have several good seasons with the Jets. He was probably the last player who punted and started at another position.
Another player was WR Tinker Owens......and there were many players during Wilkinson's time.
I remember Lance Rentzel punting from his own end zone in the 1964 Texas game (during Gomer Jones' first year as HC). When he saw all the Texas players running away from him to provide blocks for the punt returner, Rentzel ran to midfield and an OU first down. OU lost 28-7, but that game had a great play by Rentzel and a big time hit by Carl McAdams, stopping Texas short of a first down.

Yes, because Football is like Basketball w/ easy lay ups everytime an offense gets the ball. Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
