re: We need Kevin Mawae at LSU

Mawae played 16 years at C(the most cerebral of of o line positions) at the highest level, 8 pro bowls, 2 all pro's, multiple years as NFLPU president.

And is a Hall of Famer. How many guys with that resume get into college coaching? College coaching—especially assistants—is a fricking grind. Office at 6 a.m., home at 10 p.m. and that’s when they’re actually at home and not on the road driving a rental car in BFE to go kiss some snot nose 16-year-olds’ arse in the hopes, he might come play for you in a couple of years.

It seems to me, most long-tenured NFL guys play that long so they WON’T have to do that. Forget even Hall of Famers, how many guys who played 10+ years in the NFL (recently, when the money has been great) are college assistant coaches? Are there even any? I love Mawae, think he’d probably make a great Oline coach, and could probably recruit if you put someone in front of him. But he seems like a family man, and I just can’t imagine him wanting to put in the ridiculous hours college assistants have to. Why would he?
