New NU Offensive Line Coach Mike Cavanaugh

"I think it's important we treat people right"

4 minutes of him degrading his guys. I LOVE it.
I laughed my a$$ off watching this guy coach. I loved it too. This is the kind of attitude our OL has been missing for SOOOOO long... Can't wait to get this guy to town!

 
I like what I'm seeing here: 2011 Spring Practice


Yeah, Cav is my favorite so far too. I posted videos I could find of a couple of the others too, though I didn't see one for the ST coach. I also watched the WR coach, though I'm not sure if he's coming to NU or not.

To be honest, I liked watching all these guys coach. There's a lot of teaching going on in these videos. Maybe someone who has spent time watching NU practices can provide a better perspective, but from everything I've been able to see I like these guys approach.

 
I see zero issues with this hire. Best if luck to Garrison, though. Who knows if he ever got a fair shake to be THE man for OL.

 
Does anyone know what their pass to run ratio was at OSU? Just read an article that said Oregon State has ranked in rushing offense the past six years: No. 113; No. 118, No. 101, No. 118, No. 96, No. 67. That us terrible even if you throw it all over the yard most plays. Is this because their running backs have been terrible? It just doesn't seem like his offensive lines have been opening up to many holes

They are maybe THE most pass happy attack in CFB. His O-Line is consistently top 5 to top 10 in Pass protection. Didn't OSU set a record for pass attempts in a game this year?

not sure about that but it will be interesting who he picks for an OC so we can get an idea of what kind of offense to expect, personally I don't think Riley having a June Jones like game plan will work very well in the cold weather big 10
 
Riley is going to run a Pro-Set. He is the defact OC. The OC will be a QB coach for the most part who helps in game planning and play calling but the offense is all Riley.

He had two NFL QBs running the show in Sean Glennon and Sean Mannion. The guy tailors his offense to the personnel he has. He was much more run heavy when he had Steven Jackson at OSU. I wouldn't worry about it.
