Brian Billick: Former Head Coach Baltimore Ravens |
“I’ve known and coached with Gary for 28 years! As a College and NFL Head Coach I have
seen him not only find kicking personnel but also coach and develop many kicking specialists
to be more consistent! In Minnesota and the 4 years in Baltimore he did an outstanding job coaching our special teams and kicking specialists. Even, when Gary and I coached apart, if I
needed any kicking personnel, I would always call Gary, because he always had a name of a
punter, kicker, kickoff man or snapper in his back pocket. He is the best when it comes to finding,
evaluating, analyzing and coaching kicking specialists. As a Head Coach, the one thing you
don’t want to worry about is a missed kick, poor punt or bad snap! If your team is having any
problems, with your kicking game or special teams, or need to find or evaluate kicking
personnel then Gary Zauner is the best in the business!” |

Coach LaVell Edwards: Former Head Coach - Brigham Young University |
"Gary Zauner knows the kicking game inside and out. He not only has the skills and a successful philosophy, but most importantly he has the ability to teach those skills to others. I would recommend Gary's kicking consulting services to any college or pro team." |

Ozzie Newsome: GM and Executive VP Baltimore Ravens |
“In the 4 years Gary was with the Baltimore Ravens he did an outstanding job coaching Matt
Stover, and also, developing Dave Zastudil – our 4th round punter in 2002. The key to our
success in Baltimore is our personnel and coaching staff working together. Because of that
working relationship, we were able to sign and develop several college free agents:
Matt Katula – FA Snapper (Ravens) and B.J. Sams – FA Return Specialist (Ravens)
Derrick Frost – FA Punter (Redskins) and Don Mulbach – FA Snapper (Detroit)
Robbie Gould – FA Kicker (Bears) 2007 Pro Bowl.
Gary has a passion for his job! He would be an asset to any NFL team as a kicking coach, kicking consultant or just to evaluate your kicking personnel." |

Frank Gilliam: Former VP Personnel Minnesota Vikings |
“The 8 years Gary was with the Minnesota Vikings, I was around him a lot! I learned a wealth
of information about the mechanics and technical aspects of coaching all the kicking specialists.
Gary was the first coach I met that not only could coach special teams but also, coach the kicker,
punter and snapper. Gary was responsible for targeting, evaluating and signing many of our
kicking personnel. (Example: the Gary Anderson and Mitch Berger combination.) During his
tenure with the Vikings our kicking game and specialist were outstanding! As the Vice President
of Player Personnel, Gary was also, valuable to our scouting staff. He would coach our staff, on
what to look for with kickers and punters. His knowledge and evaluations of kicking personnel
were in-valuable to myself and our staff especially when it came to free agency and the draft. I’ve
been in the NFL with the Vikings for 36 years and nobody knows kicking personnel and how to
coach them better than Gary!” |

Lynn Stiles: VP of Football Operations K.C. Chiefs |
“Having worked with Gary on two occasions, there is no question in my mind that he has
outstanding expertise in all phases of the kicking game. Especially with regards to teaching the
fundamentals of snapping, holding, punting and kicking. Through Gary’s assistance, I learned
kicking fundamentals, drills, training and video techniques that helped me to evaluate and coach
our kicking personnel when I was a special teams coach with the Eagles and 49ers. Gary has
something to offer you and your program." |
