OL Issues Are A Sign of Poor Coaching Decisions

I have complained for at least the last 15 years that LSU is not going after good OL prospects!! For years Miles and now Coach O are looking at *****'s for the skill positions and overlooking the linemen. Why do we constantly go after 5 or 6 receivers each class but only 1 or 2 linemen. All good coaches know that you have to start in the trenches. But what further worries me more is the type of OL recruits we get!! For the most part they are mainly Guards. We need to see centers & tackles in our classes and we need to see linemen who are in playing condition. I'm sorry but a 6'2" 350 lb. linemen who takes 3 seconds to even get off the line is not going to cut it.
I get so mad when I see see these fat and slow linemen that LSU gets and I look around at other teams and I see big and tall linemen who get off the line, can pass block and then even get downfield to block. What is the problem? Can the coaches not evaluate OL talent?
Lastly, I also cannot stand to see all of the out of shape players that LSU is putting on the field. This is not a COVID problem, it is a problem which has been going on for years! We need to start laying the blame for these problems clearly where they belong ON THE COACHING STAFF!

Weird rant coming off a year LSU had 3 OL drafted for the first time since 1962, when the draft was 20 rounds.

Recruiting OL has been a substantial weakness for years.

Development of players by Cregg is the issue
