O-line coach

Does anyone think the o-line would be any different had Kevin mawae been hired to coach this group? I don't know much about our current o-line coach but I know Mawae's 16 years of experience would have gone a long way.

Would they be better with studrawa? Online was very good last year and poised to be great this year. We only lost one to the nfl and for some reason the o line can't bust a grape.
I was optimistic about grimes bit I'm very disappointed in the results.

Don't forget that Todd McClure is hanging out in the stands too. Between Mawae and McClure they have many years in the NFL but just not sure if they would be able to coach the position.
Looks like Todd is enjoying retirement in Zachary raising bulls.

I don't know much about OL schemes, but it seems like we are running a more finesse scheme, and we have the wrong players for that.
I was just watching a few videos on Alfred Blue and Jeremy Hill, and the blocks were easy to come by even in tight formations. I saw long gains with 8 in the box.
I would say that we are in a transition mode and we will look like this until they figure it out.

What??? The offensive line was just as bad last year, we just had a better QB. Look how many times Mett was sacked or hurried. It is really sad that the O line hasn't gotten better. Something needs to change.

I'm torn on this one right now.
At this point, I think it's safe to assume that the AU fans were right about grimes. On the other hand, his scheme is totally different that Stud's so that could be the problem here. It takes more than on offseason to implement a new scheme, and it's even tougher to do with established guys that have been in the old system for years.

The dumb thing was hiring a guy that Les knew would want to change the clocking scheme. If you're breaking in a new QB and WRs and you know your DL is suspect, why on earth would you upset the apple cart and mess up the experienced OL? It was our only real strength coming into the year. It just makes no sense at all.

no they weren't. they had a couple bad games (really mostly a couple bad series against UGA and Bama), but they mostly kept Mett clean. you don't hit 10 ypa or have that kind of efficiency passing if you're not blocking well.
Stud never had a great line, but he had several good ones, and only 1 bad one (09). I'm hopeful this line can turn it around.

Excellent point.

Mawae doesn't have 16 years of coaching experience though. He may still have been a great coach, regardless, but not a sure thing. However, I think recruiting is probably the main reason he wasn't hired. A multi-millionaire who has young kids and is finally home to be with them for the 1st time, is likely not as motivated to hit the grueling recruiting trail every week as an assistant at LSU would need to be.

If you want to make a change in the blocking scheme, does it make more sense to make that change when your inexperienced skill players are not going to take you to a championship or when you have experienced skill players who are likely to take you to a championship?
For me, if I'm going to make a change in the blocking scheme, I'm going to do it in a year when the rest of my team is unlikely to go very far anyway.
