Serious question, his entire background is in offensive line play including in the NFL under Bellichek. Spent a year as a TE coach where he really got Aaron Hernandez and Gronk going. Developed a good amount of NFL lineman during his time as O-Line coach at Cockeye. Don’t let him anywhere near scheme(outside what is required as an O-line coach) or play calling. Knows the B1G well. Couldn’t be worse than what we have now?
Serious answer: can he recruit?
Our current OL position coach just got a commitment from the top OT in Hawaii (4*) and has several other inroads w other Poly OL recruits as well.
Ferentz is a better OL teacher but I would wonder about his recruiting. The Poly OL pipeline that Raiola is working to build ends the second you fire Donnie and hire the whitest man ever, Brian Ferentz. Also, unfortunately for him, his name has been a national punching bag for the last 2 yrs, so I wonder if that might hurt him in recruiting? (Maybe not IDK)
Maybe he is a good recruiter, I don't know, I'm honestly asking. Rhule demands mega hours/effort/results from that position coach.
