I do think Hevesy generally gets about all he can with what he has to work with for the most part. That's why we perform best with a veteran OL like 2014 but it will not be that many years that your entire OL will be made up of 3 year starters.
I think pretty much everyone agrees that Hev can coach, he needs to recruit better, and Mullen isn't firing him. If this is true, we should get creative to help Hev out recruiting wise. For example, name brad Peterson TE and assistant oline coach. Hev still be in charge of the whole oline, but adding Peterson in the mix could help sell us to recruits. I don't really understand how practice and meetings run though, so this could be a dumb idea.
