ASU - Analyst + Interim TE Coach 2019
For those of you that were asking. Now, O just has to pull the trigger. This is a minimal risk hire.

Too early to get Kevin. There's proven coaches we can get that can also recruit now and if LSU was smart, they'd push for someone who has connections in a ripe area for recruiting them.
I think Kevin will be a viable hire in the future but right now he's too risky. We need someone who can come in immediately that you know can help this line. I wouldn't hate the hire though because it can't get worse than what we have.
LSU has really sucked the past decade or so on OL coaches. Stud, Grimes, Cregg, etc.
OL is one of the hardest positions to evaluate. You need a homerun coach here because the cogs of the offense are only as good as your line. If LSU was to dump money on a position coach this is where you want to do it. DL coach and OL coach which both control the flow of the game.

I’m all for clipping Cregg to add Mawae. I can’t imagine he’d turn away LSU. I’m not a great judge of Oline coaches but I don’t think this would be a terrible move.
Well Kevin Mawae was a great player at LSU, and likely NFL HOF. However, he was an Assistant OL coach in the NFL for one year with the Bears and was not retained, and Coach Herman Edwards, who played and coached in the NLF hired him as an OL analyst. Some guys who are great players sometimes are not the best teachers because playing came so easy to them.
In all the major sports going back years and years (I am 55), very few great players made great coaches. Larry Bird was one of the few in the NBA. I don't know many NFL HOF as players who made great coaches in the NFL (Ditka won a super bowl as player, was NFL HOF and won Superbowl as coach) and MLB Managers, not sure I can think of any MLB HOF who won the world series off the top of my head.

Well honestly, I understand the hesitancy about Mawae, but at this point why the hell not. He's going to work his arse off for his alma mater, knows his shite about OL, openly praised today for his recruiting effort and is a damn Hall of Famer. Guy knows his shite and how to coach.
What is so special about Cregg besides the fact he had Assistant OL coach experience in the NFL (whoopty doo) and was a USC guy? I don't get it. He's hanging his hat on that Joe Moore Award (thank god for Burrow).
I too was once hesitant about Mawae but after losing on Leigh officially today we need to cut ties and think outside the box with a new hire. Need to get on the OSU, Bama, Clemson level for recruiting the OL.

Why not just bring mawae in as an analyst and hire a proven o line coach

This. Let him earn the job if he wants it.
