But LSU couldn't find a spot for Kevin Mawae on the staff.

LSU's OLine saw dramatic improvement when Wilkerson was working as a GA here. Hopefully either he or Mawae will position themselves to be OLine coaches at LSU in the future. Would love to have them. We need more former Tigers continuing to work/coach with the program.

I agree, and I had a friend who played Oline on the 2011 team and he raved about how great of a coach Wilkerson was.

Good for him!

That ruptured patella tendon injury late in the 4th vs Vandy was so sad.

Hard to complain about Grimes right now but glad to Big Ben advancing. Would love to see him coaching here in the future.

Good to see Petrino being a criminal didn't throw his career off track.

When Ben Wilkerson was a freshmen, a report by the coaching staff to one of the radio guys that made it into a post-game show (maybe it was Hannagriff) that said, "Coaches love Ben Wilkerson. They tell me that you show him something once, he does it correctly, after that, forever."

I knew at that point his future was probably in coaching.

Met Ben and Matt Flynn at Tiger Stadium after the 2003 NCG. Ben signed a football for me and spent a good bit of time talking Tiger football with me. I am glad to hear of his advancement in the game.

Re that ruptured tendon, it wasn't just late in the 4th quarter it was literally the last play of the game in a blow out win by the Tigers. Credit Nicky for ruining Wilkerson's football career as he never fully recovered. He should have never been in the game at that point of the game.
