Why?

Is there some reason we don’t want a former LSU standout and NFL Hall of Famer as oline coach?

On the staff somewhere?

Just because you were a great player doesn't mean you're going to be a great coach.

I don't care bad how amazing you were if you aren't able to teach technique. Some of the best athletes in the world have no idea how to actually teach what the do because it's just natural for them. Don't k ow if that applies to Mawae or not, but it's the likely reason.

Ok just wondering, he was an assistant oline coach and analyst in the NFL for 7 years, so he must be able to coach a little, maybe not good enough.

Why do we think Kyle Williams is able to teach and a HOF LSU player can't teach this oline a lot about oline play. Do you actually think Davis knows more about Oline play that KM? Seriously??
KM would be the biggest improvement hire LSU could make in any position group.
This is just stupid to say he can't teach players what he knows better than almost everyone on earth.

The Rant likes to create resume standards for coaches that either don’t exist or don’t make any sense.

Good lord, this again?

By this logic we should have had a string of Heisman RB winners when Kevin Faulk was RB coach.

This is absolutely true. That's why many of the most successful coaches and managers in MLB are guys who never made it to the show or were there only a short time. Because they didn't have the natural talent that mot superstars possess, they tried every trick in the book to maximize their skills and can pass all those tricks on to other players. That's not to say that all superstars rely only on natural talent, of course. Many of them are also real students of the game and are known for how much they study opposing pitchers or batters. Same applies to many other sports.

I’d definitely call all available alumni to come consult during the bye week.

Anything at this point to beat bama.
