If the HC is the OC, then he should probably be with a skill position. If he coaches the line, he will not be available during 7 on 7 time and other passing drills during the practice because the line is not involved. That said, IMO the O-Line coach needs to be the best coach on the staff. It is vitally important. The HC could still spend time with the OL and not be the main OL coach. Coachlickert Good points. Kind of where I would lean. Other options? With small staff/small team... O-line on field while skill positions lift. Volunteer that knows lifting in weight room for supervision. coaches coaching hard and fast for 20-30 min then switch. Skill onfield and goes thru indys line lifts. Come together for team. Summers- o-line day, then skill day. Or o-line work first then skill shows up. Definitely a blocking progression once or twice a week. Would also give HC opportunity to make sure coaches are coached up. Agree HC has to be able to coach all position groups.(and be close to the best at them if not the best) During the summer we have OL/DL lift while skill is on the field. Meet up and do agility/conditioning stations. Then skill lift and oline stay out for skill work. That is during june and July before pads are on.

OL is the most important at the high school level IMO. If your OL isn't good you better have some dudes at the skill positions. I think this depends on the quality of coaching. If you have a really good offensive staff, I would rather have great skill talent / bad line talent than great line talent / bad skill talent. (But don't confuse bad talent with bad play, as they aren't necessarily the same). A good offensive staff can do a lot to compensate for a weak / undersized OL through position expertise and by running option (can't block them, read them), Wing-T (blocking angles, misdirection), perimeter runs, quick passes / screens, etc. You don't have to dominate the trenches to get superior skill guys the ball in favorable situations. But if your QB can't hit the broad side of a barn and your RB's / WR's are slow as Christmas defenses are going to crowd the LOS and make you nickel and dime down the field and you probably won't score a lot of points. JMO.
