Mitch Rodrigue OL coach?
- Thread starter Buff57Lb
- Start date
spending two years coaching at the local HS level is a well known career path for highly respected OL coaches

Maybe he wanted to. Maybe he needed a break from the grind. Maybe there was a grandkid he was coaching. Any number of reasons.

I trust HCKD vetting him completely. He’s done a good job assembling a staff.
I mostly like the staff too, hopefully this Rod guy is good because it's really hard to work around a terrible OL

He doesn’t strike me as a guy who makes rash decisions. He must know a good deal about him.
His decision gave me a rash.
A guy who needed a break from the grind does not strike me as a good fit to get his feet wet at the P5 level.
If I wanted to put my blinders on for this one, he thought he was going to be famously wealthy selling his blocking system, and all the P5 programs knocking at his door wouldn’t let him continue coaching at a high level and promote his product. He was at a cross roads. Continue coaching at a high level, or punch the lottery ticket. He choose the lottery ticket, but his passion for coaching was so great, he took the HS OL job as a way to satisfy that part of his life.
You forgot the “and no one bought The ROD Blocking System” part. Except CU. And his wife told him to get a real job.If I wanted to put my blinders on for this one, he thought he was going to be famously wealthy selling his blocking system, and all the P5 programs knocking at his door wouldn’t let him continue coaching at a high level and promote his product.

I just think it was a natural fit, he won’t even have to bring his blocking system, it’s already here!

I have a feeling for all the **** that has been said about this guy, it's going to turn out that we love him. Either that or he is Toby Neinas level of hate. No inbetween.

He actually does have a lot of experience but it is just not at P5 or NFL level so it creates a vacuum of knowledge that leaves open room for speculation.
You think maybe Coach Dorrell owes his daddy a favor?

I take it you don’t love the Embree hire?
Watch his video's, he is a born and bred Cajun. I think Ed O. and him could have a complete conversation and nobody else would understand a damn word.
I’m fine with the Embree hire. It was a Neinas reference.

Ah, gotcha.

I'm guessing Dorrell asked him about his hiatus back to the HS ranks and was satisfied with the answer.
If not then we have much bigger problems than a crappy OL coach.

Seriously. Can KD teach the rod blocking system if he doesn’t work out?
