It makes me wonder what potential all of the ACC 1st and 2nd team OL he coached had. Must have all had Orlando Brown capabilities. Makes me miss Limegrover.
Trautwein, Trautwein, Trautwein...
- Thread starter PaJules
- Start date
What has been the one constant with all the different OL coaches and OCs?
Bingo - mr RPO mr explosive plays. Mr. athletes in space. eff him
I always try to look at the whole picture of a coach. Yes, Trautwein did coach a bunch of all-ACC OL at BC. But he inherited most of them from Justin Frye, who left to become the OL coach (now OC/OL) at UCLA. Additionally, Trautwein was working for Steve Addazio, a very good OL coach in his own right.
Always wondered about that too. Didn’t think he was a real good recruiter but better than Herb Hand as a coach. seemed like a pretty decent coach.
Pretty sure that the only guy not coached by Frye was Vrabel Jr, who did earn some honors as a first year starter.
Another thing was that Daz didn't take Trautwein with him to Colorado State. That said, he made his son OL coach, so there could have been some nepotism involved.
We have one highly recruited OL on the bench, not several. That’s part of the problem. We get very few top 10 OLineman
CJF has more than a little "flavor of the month" disposition in him. Someone else suggested it with regard to the hiring of Ciarrocca. I was stupefied when he was hired having watched his offenses during the Tom Savage/Chas Dodd years at Rutgers.
I always do some digging when an AC is hired. First rule is don't believe believe the school generated background; they're all fluff. But the truth is you don't know unless you're on the ground and I'm not, so...........
The following are 4 stars : 2021 - Tengwall, 2020 - Christ, Fashanu, Achumba 2019 - Whigan ( has played some ).
There are three stars that had good offers like Dawkins and Traore.
I don’t believe for one minute PSU would have swapped OL recruits with Illinois during that time.
Christ, Fashnau, and Achumba all 3* on the composite and not in the top 375 players. I guess we have different definitions of highly recruited. Whigam was always a wildcard
I got their ranking off this site.
I am willing to bet that Illinois did not have higher rated OL recruits over the same period..
Point is they are not good enough to play yet. Illinois isn’t playing their young OLineman either. Our OL has serious issues but I don’t believe the answer is on the bench Outside maybe Tengwall
No question. Who ever the coaches are, the offense all looks the same. A hollywood offensive scheme to go along with the flashing lights,prima donna players and smoke machines. Today we ran out of dry ice. I am dissapointed.
Juiced?? WTF? Was it the 2 yrs at Davidson that juiced it??
his other 2 yrs were at BC with many on here panting over all ACC selections
All this or that means nothing relative to how well they are coached
