Mawae is one of the top centers of recent times, having been selected for the Pro Bowl on six consecutive occasions (1999–2004), and was an eight-time All-Pro. He also served two terms as NFLPA president

I think he would have great credibility in recruiting but there is a lot more to being a successful recruiting than the in-home visits and phone calls. you have to be like a sales rep in constant contact

I doubt many high schoolers even know who he is.

Why would they think that? He doesn't have the track record of getting kids in the NFL.
He may very well be a great recruiter and coach, but I nor you have any idea how good/bad he is at it because he has yet to do it.

I would think/hope the two time pres of the NFLPA would be pretty well spoken and articulate. His playing resume was second to none.
The larger challenge will be whether or not he can relate to the kids and vice versa.

No one knows.
You would expect a NFLPA president to have excellent communication skills, and he speaks well in interviews, but literally no one knows.
Except Cam and Les.

When did he become a potential coach?

Nobody knows. Not a one. Y'all can argue all you want, but nobody on here knows what type of personallity he has. He may be a jerk that has a bad temper and doesn't like people. That may be why he was a great offensive lineman. He might be phoney on camera and that's why people don't like him once they get to know him. He might be a really nice guy. He might be bad at teaching kids how to do things. Nobody knows. Not someone you really want to take a chance on at a major school.

Right now I'm more concerned with coaching the guys we have. Miles recruited most of the OL anyway. Our OL has had a recent history of struggling with teams that they should be man handling.
As I've mentioned, this year we had one of, if not THE best average for height & weight on the line. I made a detailed thread about it before the season started. The OL has been underperforming. They should have been much better and consistent than they've been. We need someone who can coach these guys.

This hire immediately puts us back in contention for Speedy

Wish him the best and all, but I hope this is just a courtesy and then they move on to more experienced candidates. LSU needs a proven coach and a proven recruiter.

I am hearing from a friend of mine who worked for the TAF for several years that Todd Washington will be named OL coach no later than Sunday. Don't shoot the messenger!! I am just basing that on his info.

VERY seldomhave great players become great coaches in any sport. The most successful that I can think of, and some would debate if it was because of him, lso Bill Russell, but he had himself as a player.
I think they were so naturally gifted, they can't understand why other players cannot do what they found so easy.

As far as experience, in addition to 16 years of identifying fronts and making line calls at an All Pro level, he had a Bill Walsh Minority Internship in the NFL, worked with Vanderbilt and the Buffalo Bills. He also was a consultant with LSU.

Heard him speak at LSU's hall of fake induction and he is very well spoken. I was very impressed. There is no doubt in my mind he would be a great recruiter and he loves LSU

He would be a huge asset to our coaching staff!!! He is not only a great guy he is 110% an LSU tiger and will always be. My brother and I were lucky enough to have played with him and his brother John. I only played 1 year with him but my brother played 4 and have tried to keep up through the years. He has always supported LSU any chance he got!!! Anyone who doesn't believe he will be in the NFL Hall Of Fame is an idiot and doesn't need to post here anymore. He obviously was a great student of the game to have played that long. I believe he will have no problem teaching his knowledge to other LSU players. He has spoken to all types of groups from kids in hospitals, youth groups, to players just coming into the league about what to expect, to players about managing money, etc. He was also a huge motivator!!! One meeting with him and I promise you doubters would not question him on any level. A True Tiger!!! Just my 2 cents Geaux Tigers!!!
