Great guy and a great fit with Mirabal. They both taught/teach the double under blocking technique. It's one thing to have a GA/assistant who learns it from you but to have someone who has actually run an OL meeting room as the 2nd voice is huge imo.Sometimes you just never know. I had no idea coach Pata had so much on field coaching experience.
Not sure if this has been posted yet if it has mods please delete, but a lot of great Information. Talking about the previous staff and the current staff.
4 Offensive Line coaches - all about them trenches
You guys know if Ed Pata had any previous on field coaching experience?
Thanks for the insight. It sounds like the Pata family is class personified. It’s great seeing these young Kings get opportunities.Great guy and a great fit with Mirabal.

It would be very miami of last 15 years to FINALLY get a legit impact QB and the coach decided to neuter him so he can ground and pound.. I wont believe it until I see it.. But this dude had Justin Freakin Herbert..He mentions we are going to run the ball a lot. I understand that that’s an important part of the game plan and I’m not advocating air raid at all, but just hope we don’t force a ground and pound attack and limit TVD’s talent. The end of last year he was on a tear and the offense seemed more pass happy/spread.
I think this is one of the biggest developments of the program since Mario took over. With all the new hires it allows for alot more coaching and teaching. I think this is going to have a huge impact on development and should help translate alot more on the fieldI probably was the only guy wondering during the OL/DL drills who Pata was....had no clue.
Guys looked exhausted in the OL/DL drills from getting so many reps when they broke up into smaller groups...which is ultimately a good thing as it will separate the kids that want to work from the kids that want the easy street road.
You have to remember the wide receivers that Oregon had while Herbert was there. I'm pretty sure Mario mentioned it somewhere that they just didn't have the weapons to fully maximize Herbert. The WR room was alot of 1st and 2nd year guys that were trashIt would be very miami of last 15 years to FINALLY get a legit impact QB and the coach decided to neuter him so he can ground and pound..

But he didn't have gattis! Who is an alpha personality(broyels winner) it will be a mix of philosophy and our players.It would be very miami of last 15 years to FINALLY get a legit impact QB and the coach decided to neuter him so he can ground and pound..

Pata coached with Coach Field at FAMU too back in 2015.Was the TE coach at FAMU when I played ‘06-‘08. Good dude for sure.
