Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub did not mince words when asked for his reaction to President Donald Trump's recent criticism of the NFL's dynamic kickoff rule.
Toub – who has been a special teams coordinator at the NFL level since the 2004 season – made it clear during a Nov. 20 media availability that he doesn't care what the president thinks about the play.
"He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule," Toub said, referencing Trump. "Take that for what it’s worth. And I hope he hears it."
Toub's comments come just over a week after Trump referred to the dynamic kickoff as "terrible" during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."
"I hate the kickoff in football. I think it’s so terrible, I think it’s so demeaning. I think it hurts the game and hurts the pageantry," Trump said during a Nov. 11 episode of the show. "I’ve told that to Roger Goodell. And I don’t think it’s any safer. I mean you still have guys crashing into each other.
