Honest question. I am especially interested in hearing from those who have played competitively, especially at the collegiate level. Is there really enough to teach a tight end to have a dedicated coach? Speaking from total ignorance here, but it seems like the TE could join the offensive line for blocking coaching and the wide receivers for the passing game. Obviously not, just wondering why....Quote:

That’s what they do at the high school level. You just don’t have the time in individual periods in college to split them up between line and receivers. Probably one of the most unique positions on the field. You got to block like a lineman and catch like a receiver if you do it right. That’s why so few do both well. Having said that TE coaches are kinda bottom of the pecking order position wise which is why many have other duties. Over the hud and bustle years our TE coach were often also recruiting coordinator.Quote:

From what I have heard is the TE and RB have been hired and Cajun fans will be happy. Just waiting for the names to leak out.Quote:
