Kevin Mawae would be a good hire. The dude understand technique...it shouldn't be hard for him to coach it.


I am puzzled by the assumption that a good or even great player would automatically have the skill set to be a good or great coach. These skill sets are not the same, there are numerous former players who failed at coaching, despite being immensely talented at playing.

Don't try to apply logic or be rational about this. People think because he went to LSU, was successful as a pro, and is now retired, well then theres' nothing he'd rather do than come back to LSU and coach!!!!! This in spite of the fact that i'm pretty sure the guy has said he wants to spend time with his family, and not take on the work load of recruiting and coaching at a top tier school. But he went to LSU!!!!!! Durrrrrrrrrr.

And then there are some that are really good too. Mawae has a masters degree, was president of the players union, played umpteen years as a pro-bowler, considered a true technician, and very personable guy. Add to the fact that many say he has been in the film room at LSU helping the team break down film and I would say that's a good start. Should he definitely be the guy? No. Should he be considered? Yes.
