Whoever Ed O hires must not only be a proven offensive line coach but also a proven recruiter at the same time because unfortunately Louisiana produces very few good enough offensive linemen.

Cam Robinson. DJ Fluker. La'El Collins. Demar Dotson. Andrew Whitworth.
Those are just the first OT's I thought of off the top of my head who have sig snaps in the NFL (recently) and are LA products.

Coach Peetz will be involved in the search and selection. Don't worry. Be happy.

53Thank you Coach Cregg for your time at LSU coaching the Offensive Line and winning the Joe Moore award for Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit in College Football. We won a National Championship with arguably the best offensive line ever at LSU protecting Heisman winner Joe Burrow was a magical year.

1411Joe Burrow won them that award with his pocket presence and his escape ability. I love LSU but that was not an award winning O-Line.

When you have the Darius Guise and all of the Les Miles skeletons in the closet being exposed in the national media, it not only hurts the prestige of the university, but it also harms recruiting and it also causes coaches sometimes in desperation to break rules. I feel sorry for him.

618Considering Coach "O"s hires. I am losing confidence in his ability to know coaching talent. Time will tell with the new hires, but will "O" have enough time to clean up mistakes and make a mends.

Thank God. I was in the minority that thought he didn't stand out in particular in recruiting prowess or coaching. If either one were elite, I would feel bad about this.

Everybody's clamering for Kevin Mawae as the new OL Coach with would be the right call. But can anybody tell me can Mawae recruit? I don't care about his LSU legend status, his OL Coaching ability right now we really need a great recruiter as well as coach. Because Cregg was not that good of a recruiter and the young OL wasn't developing like they were suppose to be so a change was warranted.

The best hire would be Kevin Mawae, a NFL/HOF & LSU legend, LSU cannot find a better candidate.
