I wish KM luck, but not sure if it would work out better than an ex-NFL hire, even recruiting-wise.
Would you rather have, a guy that had a solid career in the league with some pro coaching experience or hall of famer with minimum coaching experience, showing you how it's done?

The only reason you are not sure is because you don't know what the frick you are talking about.

I'll say this, I guarantee that he can get em in shape. Down to 220 lbs, that's incredible. Also, at least he can get out there and move and run around with these guys much unlike Studrawa, just a behemoth. Mawae is a lot younger, recruits like youth.

His sideline reporting for the last PPV Tiger game was excellent - it appeared he knew what the heck was going on/not going on with the offensive line for the Tigers - if he can transfer that to instructional/teaching I think he would be a great hire.

A recruit would be more skeptical about a guy that never played the position trying to teach you how to make it into the NFL (Stud) versus a decorated player who has played and remained there for 16 years. That player can actually show you how he did it.

Would it be better if Kevin had a coaching record of successfully moving guys into the NFL? Of course, but I have to think any possible recruit would be impressed having a eight time All Pro OL teaching him the tricks of the trade he so badly wants to join.

If he wants to really coach at Lsu I'd say it would be a no brainer.
You don't want him getting away to coach somewhere else

His resume is minimal, but he has a resume and his accomplishments speaks for itself. He has had camps where he has taught, done internship, consulting, etc. I believe he would be an amazing line coach and if you look at the coaching ranks, linemen usually make good coaches because of the intelligence and brotherhood required to play the position.
The only real issue I see here is Les doesn't really like it when other coaches take the spotlight. Also, someone who is a fan favorite, how will it look if you have to let him go?
I believe they will go ex-NFL coach, just because of the stress of having him on the staff.

My question is. Why does he want to coach the O line in college after all he has done?
I'm hoping after his years in the pros that he has some money socked away.
If he does then why would he want to do all that is required of a college coach.
If he doesn't , then I don't want somebody in it for the money.
Does he have bigger aspirations? Does he still have the love of football and the competitive fire he showed us all in his playing days?
I'd love if someone could reach out to guys he played with and see what they think, although I know none would stand up and trash him.
All the other stuff I'm not too worried about. If miles and Cameron pick him then I think it would be alright

He loves football, loves teaching kids and loves LSU. That's good enough for me.

Yeah he was kind of good at football as a lineman

We turn on our own after one quarter of "bad" coaching.. When in the hell would Miles need to fire someone who wasn't loathed already by the fans?
I mean.. unless it's a
situation - like petrino. And even then - why would he care..
If he took all of the rants suggestions we'd be undefeated, all time..
of course..
but would the price be worth it?!?!
Not giving a qualified "fan favorite" a shot is much worse IMO.

I can see Saban giving him a "shot" in a couple of years (when his kids have graduated) and the detractors blaming Miles for not hiring him. Sometimes you have to have vision.
So Sale was an assistant strength coach at Alabama and an o-line coach at McNeese, another high-profile program.

There it is. People are already criticizing the hyopthetical non-hiring of Mawae. When LSU brings in a different o-line coach, this board will treat him like Stud from day one because he's not Mawae.

Actually the next o-line coach will be rated on what he is able to bring to the table based on what he said he can produce. Like Stud, he will be judged on that and that alone. I never counted out any other hire. I'm firing back at those belittling Mawae's practical experience as if it's not significantly important. So, yeah, there it is.

Back creating a made up scenario where he goes to Alabama with Nick Saban and burns LSU? How does that in anyone disprove the belittling of Mawae's coaching exeperience?
