I would put more on Kevin's potential than Sales' McNeese experience. Not a knock, rather Kevin is special in all things football related.
I have always said he wouldn't be a coach due to the time he would be away from his family and couldn't see his wife being happy.
I just found out today and apparently he's just shared it with others only yesterday.
FYI...its NOT a guarantee. LSU is absolutely objectively interviewing him.

I'll support the hire if it happens. But if he is passed up, will you guys admit that it's from a lack of coaching experience?
Deal?
Deal?

Wow.
I'm not saying Sale would be a bad hire, but the minimal amount of experience that Sale brings to the table doesn't come close to what Mawae brings to the table.
Unless we are going to hire someone with a very long resume of coaching quality OLs, or someone who has done it at a high level (NFL), a guy like Mawae would be next in line. And, the thing about Mawae is that, while he hasn't coached, he is the coaching type. So, even Mawae's experience issue could be a non-factor.
Honestly, Sale would be pretty far down the list, IMO.

it will absolutely be this and Kevin's got to be ok with what they expect.
ETA: one thing many have not said here is what a character boost his presence would be to the team. He is God-fearing and not shy at all about mentoring young men.

EARTH TO JIM..........he played in the NFL up until 2010 then worked for the NFLPA.....then did charity work and then some minor stent with Vandy maybe?
He hasn't had much spare time to coach up amateurs........
Yes, I know that. All minor coaching stuff, an internship here and fellowship there. He's stated before he wanted to spend as much time as he could with his kids.
Does it not concern you that he's never had to deal with the rigors of full time coaching? Are we sure this is something he will be committed to?
Posted on 1/9/14 at 3:04 pm to oreeg
No, I would think its because he hasn't worked with Cameron or isn't a michigan man.

It goes to show, you don't need to know a lot to be a position coach at the college level.
No, it doesn't go to show that at all. Enminger has been under the gun and all signs point to him being fired. If anything, you helped prove my point that we need to vett this out and find a guy that has lengthy experience and success coaching offensive line. A sure thing, if you will.
AGAIN: This is not saying that Mawae WILL NOT be a good coach. I just want to get someone that we KNOW from their track record and experience will coach up our guys and mold them into soul-crushing animals.

Sure. Only if they make a hire that makes more sense.

But Mawae played Oline. Not QB or Te. So I don't know how I'm making your point.
He knows his position unlike Ensminger.

Would that entail hiring someone Cam is familiar with and has worked with before?

I think you're trying to imply that I think we should have kept Stud. Couldn't be further from the truth.
I was just using Stud as an example. It baffles when people say that they want someone with proven coaching abilities. How hard do you think it is to teach something that you excelled at?

last year helped the LSU staff in film breakdown.
So, one would think there is a good chance he has had this discussion with someone already?
He has been interacting with them already, surly the subject has come up?

Sorry, I thought I put sarcasm face.. feel like LSU is going after small fish when a big fish is needed.

Why is that at all baffling?

You either can teach it or you can't. There are countless people who can do but can't teach. Not saying Mawae is one of them.

People with resumes like his don't publicly state they want something unless they are committed to it.........guys like him don't know how to not be committed.......thats why he is in the HOF?

It can be very hard. Sometimes something is so simple for you that you can't understand why it's hard for somebody else. Not saying this would be the case with Mawae but it happens a lot.

OLine coach for a Super Bowl Champion ok with you?

Here's what worries me. He's interned at Vanderbilt while living down the road, he coached o-line for his son's high school team, and he was part of a coaching fellowship program for the Bills during one training camp. Is he ready to take on the time commitment that comes with being a college coach?
I bet he can't get out of the house fast enough right now
After the life/career he's had, I would imagine he and his wife are ready for him to commit full time to the game he loves and misses
