Not if they were coached well

Well you are probably correct.  Zone Blocking schemes are used by a bunch of people.  It just seems like we at times don't execute properly which may be coaching.

We really need a new strength coach.

Which direction do they go now?  Needs to be a quick hire.  Stacy Searels?  Currently OL Coach at The U.  Any good NFL guys out of a job currently?

I know Searels is an Auburn grad but seems like read something awhile back and he didn't exactly sing the praises of having played on the plains. 

I believe that Searels was offered the OL job several years back, and he declined the offer. Would love to see him return to the Plains. I think he is an excellent OL coach.

I think he is THE perfect OL coach for a chip lindsey offense. He was under the richt tree for the longest time. He is one of the best pass blocking OL coaches in the business. Which is always the hardest to do. Most teams struggle in pass pro.

I disagree.  We don't need it quick.  We are barely in it for just a couple guys left this cycle.  

The right thing to do is take our time and get the right coach for the job.  If it happens quick, great.  If it takes a month, great.  

While I agree that you don't rush an important hire like OL coach, I don't agree that we have no recruits to lose. We are still in it for a couple of good ones, and we really need to land one of them, IMHO.

If he can bring his pill satchel with him

Word has it that Searels' daughter is a student at Auburn. I'm hoping Momma and baby girl call him home...

Miami, with Coach Richt.

I would go after Bob Bostad, if we could get him to leave.

[Beaker 2,457]

1. I trust Richt (his coaching tree)

2.  He knows and can recruit GA

3.  He is recruiting FL

4. Auburn man

 

good enough for me

He was reviled by his players during his time with the Titans, moved to LB's on his return to Madison.  Please do tell why you would go after him?

He has always gotten the most out of his talent at the collegiate level.  Knows how to make an offensive line a unit.  Understands zone blocking/power run scheme.  Put numerous guys in the NFL that were 3 stars or less, walk ons included.  Plays the best guys and has his guys ready to play.

I don’t remember him playing at Auburn. Through all these years of hearing his name in coaching discussions I swore he was black.

He played back during the Pat Dye years.  All-American in '87.

[autigersj 122]

i don"t know anything about what makes a great O-line coach but, if you follow his twitter, he is always breaking down blocking film and seems like he knows what he is talking about.

I agree with you that Cole knows his X's and O's, but Cole would be as green of a hire as you could find. Former player with no coaching experience at any level (that I'm aware of). 

I'm not saying that Cole can't coach, but he'd need to work his way up the ladder and prove himself just like anyone else.

On a side note, Cole takes himself way too seriously for my taste.

Cole is a good dude but has no desire to be a coach and not sure he’d be a good one if he did.

He definitely does a good job of selling the "old school, hard-nosed" persona. And it's probably legit. I don't see myself enjoying a beer with him unless I just really wanted to geek out on OL skills. But yeah, he's said on twitter that he doesn't want to coach and isn't qualified. And his career as a broadcaster/whatever-you-call-sports-media-guys-who-are-active-on-twitter-now seems to be progressing nicely. He's found a niche and is developing quite a following of guys who pretend to enjoy blocking pr0n. It's like there's a craft football movement.
