Mitch Rodrigue is set to become the new offensive line coach at Colorado, BuffStampede.com learned on Monday afternoon and as reported by Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera.

Rodrigue created The Rod Blocking System, which many programs have purchased to use on their practice fields.

A Louisiana native, Rodrigue spent the previous two years coaching high school football in Alabama. Before that, he spent five years as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach at Louisiana. He also had a three-year run from 2008-10 as an offensive line coach at South Alabama, a nine-year stint as the offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and tight ends coach at Southern Miss from 1999-07, and eight years at Nicholls State from 1993-98.

The 55-year old Rodrigue played at Nicholls State before beginning his coaching career at his alma mater the year after he graduated, in 1987.
