The weekend’s announcment that LSU offensive line coach Stacy Searels was coming back to his native Georgia seems to have met with favorable reviews. Searels, from Trion, Ga., played for Auburn and has coached the LSU line since 2003. LSU has had a quality front line over that span, and they’ve been effective running and passing the ball.

Though not many of us know enough about him to really evaluate the hire, Searels looks to have quite a legacy of success dating back to his All-American days at Auburn. So Auburn has a former UGA lineman in Hugh Nall coaching their line, and we now have Searels. Just more cross-pollination for these two programs.
