How many Offensive Line Coaches Do You have in you Program?
We are a small D-3 school about 900 students. We had about 35 offensive linemen in our program (9-12) this past season. We have two O-line coaches…I am one of them and the other guy is an older man who does not move very well any more, he is a volunteer.
We were able to rotate the three levels around by having the JV and freshman practice together giving them about 17 total with the varsity at 15. We would split up the groups and half of them would go with the other guy for some basic drills (get offs, and indy shoot stuff) and I would take the others for the more technical drills (pass pro tech., cage drill, and sumo drills).
My concern is not weather or not the players are getting the drills in I am concerned about the # of quality reps they get.
Is this something you all do?
How do you handle large numbers of players on the o-line?

At the first school (5A in IL; 1200 students) I coached at, we had 2 oline coaches for the freshmen team and two more for sophomore-senior. At my second job (6A school, about 1400) we had one for the freshmen, two for the varsity plus our HC worked quite often with the OL as well. This past season at a small school in IL (a co-op of about 400 students) we officially had only me as oline coach, but due to small numbers we normally just divided up into lineman and all skill groups, so there were two of us working with the lineman.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.

If you have two coaches, try separating them to work on something specific (like a group of plays that have the same type scheme). You may let one coach have the OT's and TE's to work on off-tackle plays and the C's and G's with another, working traps, veers, pulls, etc. Pick a group of plays for each day of the week. Another day you may want to send the TE's to your WR's/QB's for route work, send your G's & T's together to work double teams/combo's with one coach, and your Centers with another coach to work one-on-one, scramble work, or punt/extra pt./FG snaps. Remember, pass protection schemes don't need to be neglected as well.
If only one coach, try working plays from the Center out (to playside only - backside will have to take a backseat except for just oral review) so that you can watch both sides. Example below:
TE.....LT.....LG.....C................................C.....RG.....RT.....TE
......................................Coach.......................................
Put opponent fronts across from each side and then flip the defense to offense and the offense to defense (if they are all OL). You should get a lot of reps. if you work your time correctly. (Coaching Points: you can drop your TE off on particular plays that you may run to the open side of the formation; also, be sure to work all of the fronts/stunts you will see and some you could possibly see).

We are pretty big.
2 O-Line coaches. At my old school we had 2 a running and a pass blocking co-ordinator.
We don't pass enough here to do that, so we just split it up.
