For those that may be wondering, the phrase "Coffin Corner" is a strategy that a Punter or team will use to try to pin an opposing team as close to their own end zone as possible. This type of punt also serves the purpose to limit the chance of a punt return.
This is more of a directional kicking strategy than the "hang time and distance" strategy.
Maybe it's just me, but I really feel like this has become a lost art in the kicking game. You don't really see or hear about the coffin corner strategy anymore...maybe because of the influx of the Australian Kickers? Maybe because of the strength of the modern kicker? I'm not sure...but it seems like the days of Ray Guy, Oakland Raiders Punter and Coffin Corner Master are long gone...
Here's a video example:
