How good can our offense be without great line play? Both these hires may be of equal importance
Is the OL hire as important as the OC hire?
- Thread starter Jonesz2
- Start date
Games are won or lost up front (just ask Alabama). So, yes. Arguably, it's more important.
Of course, it's like asking which ingredient is more important when baking a cake. They're all essential.

FYI:
Shawn became our OL coach when Wolfie left for YSU and we signed Marcus Lattimore ('10).
Shawn was our OL coach when Marcus played & when we won 33 games in 3 seasons. Our red zone running game was legit.
Wolfie came back here under Will Muschamp & we did poorly. He eventually coached for Saban, at UK this past season, & was just hired at LSU by Kiffen.
How did Wolfie's OL look this past season? We sacked their QB 6 times. Why would Kiffen even consider Wolfie?
There is no evidence that even with Wolfie, we'd do any better than using Shawn.
I would not be disappointed if we retained Shawn as our OL coach.

Given how bad the offense was, I don't think it's worth the risk. The entire offense staff has stink on it.
