That is a strange interpretation. Daz was TEs and Tackles. Hevesy was Gs and Cs. Daz wasn't the brains of the operation. Or any operation.

Hevesy has made a solid OL everywhere he has been. Our OLs (and especially recruiting for OL) took a "dive" once Daz took over when Hevesy left, though many blame him being stretched too thin between OC and OL.

The weird part was that Daz was definitely the better recruiter, ie more able to bring home a target, and yet Daz' last two classes only had two OL in each class.

I think you have this backwards... Once The Daz came on board he was the OL Coach and Hevesey moved to T & TE's. The OL took a dive when The Daz was promoted to OC along with OL duties... He stopped coaching the OL and focused on being a terrible OC...

Looks like they swapped rolls after 2006. I looked back at the media guides which are here:
Football History

Hevesy’s current bio claims coaching superlatives for TE production in 07-08 and OL all 4 years. But Adddazio did pass him up to be “the” OL coach with Hevesy picking up TEs. And Hevesy did a heck of a job with his position groups all 4 years under Meyer.

Whatever. The lines became retarded by 2009.

The run game became nonexistent especially in the red zone and the recruiting went to hell. Daz last two classes were 2 OL deep and one was stolen from Umass.

Bottom line for me: Hevesy & Daz worked well together. I don’t think our OL has been as good since Hevesy left. Your point re: recruiting is huge.

I think the same re: Gonzales and the WRs.

We had 5 Offensive linemen in our 2009 class.
2010 and 2011.

2011 class, basically except for Jacoby Brissett, was just hanging on to what DazDand Creyer had on the board as much as possible with it being a transition of course. There were never more than two in that class either.
