Mawae did some volunteer coaching at Vandy a couple yrs back and is said to be doing some things around LSU now, so it may happen eventually.

he might go the GA route or a smaller school first though. not sure I've heard of anyone not having been a part of a staff at any level going straight to position coach at a major program. not saying he couldn't do it, but it just doesn't seem likely.

Correct. No one will be hired at LSU as a position coach without proving it (coaching and recruiting) somewhere else first. Same thing was told to Ben Wilkerson.

I remember hearing he had been hanging around doing some work for LSU. I agree i usually like us to hire guys that have some experience and are proven but i would make an exception for Mawae. Either way stud has to be replaced, it was a terrible idea to demote him back to oline instead of just out right replacing him. I don't like the idea of promoting someone then demoting them and expecting to get great production from them. We saw it saturday when his unit completely quit and ended up getting our qb murdered by alabama. It is one thing to have one guy that you coach quit but an entire unit doing it is a problem
