Looks like WSU will be able to upgrade their OL coaching with McGuire leaving for TTU.
OL Coach
- Thread starter CougSinceBirth
- Start date
The real question is whether we can upgrade the talent.
I'm going to say that we upgraded our OL play as soon as he announced he was leaving. Talent level or whatever the issue, it didn't feel like our OL had any idea how to do their jobs.
Some on brand X are putting forth McGuire's assistant. That does not feel good to me; if McGuire was not getting it done, how will his assistant do better? On the other hand, I've seen several assistants do better than their previous boss, so maybe that is not a handicap. Regardless, we'll get someone who has played OL and understands what to do. The question is always how well they teach.
Didn't know that McGuire was from TT as a player and a coach (twice). Good move for him I guess. The assistant - is this Justin Kramer? Just read his bio, he's been around for a while. Why not?
If the OL makes up almost 50% of the offensive players…. imagine having a coaching staff made up of no one that played that position?
Ultimately being a great teacher matters most… having some insight of what it takes to make blocks when lined up across from a 6’7” 345lbs human being helps too.
Clay should be an insurance salesman.
Or imagine a head coach who never played college football? Biggs no hire they could make would please you.
Pretty sure Leach started out as an OL coach
Well, he was always the exception to the rule his entire career.
