I don't think the issue with the OLine is coaching. It's just talent. Though I would say the same for TE and RB.

In Giants news...they fired the TE and RB coaches. Probably not an awful idea...although the O-line coach should be in the cross-hairs as well IMO.

Yeah that report ended up being false. My comments still stand just directed towards to Dolphins now. |

Thanks for the intel guys. There sure is a lot of buzz here locally, people are excited. Leslie Frazier was a really good guy, well liked by everyone, but it just didn't seem to be going anywhere. Hopefully AP will be back and we can add a QB other than Christian Ponder, for starters.

Ultimately, Belichick's two most important decision for the Partriots were: 1) Drafting Brady, and 2) keeping this guy around. Not to mention he's the only guy in the organization who's been around for all 7 franchise SB appearances.

Given I feel like him and Rex Ryan are the best defensively-minded coaches in the league and can get their defenses to outperform their talent on paper, absolutely. I'm sad to see him go, but I knew it was inevitable and you guys picked up the best HC hire for this offseason. They're going to be a much better team at least defensively.

I just read that he was hired as the Dolphins OC and that the Lions OC spot is still vacant. As long as Linehan's gone, I'm good. |

Yeah, I think it's a good choice. With all those potential offensive powerhouses in that division someone with a defensive mind/slant isn't a bad line of thinking.

I think it's the coaching hire of the offseason. He's deserved it for awhile now. He's done wonders with Cincy. He's ready.

Hey guys I really don't know too much about the coaching staffs of others teams....
The Vikes just hired Zimmer from the Bengals as a new head coach. Do you guys think he's good head coach material?
Bad move?
Not that any man out there is going to be able to save the Vikings

Ben McAdoo, QB coach from Green Bay has been hired as new Giants OC
He already gives me hope. Says he plans to run an "un tempo" and "attacking" offense. Wait.....even though Eli has always been best in the no huddle and up tempo, after 10 seasons will this finally be utilized!?!? I...must not cry in joy

So it looks like Detroit got Bill Lazor as their OC. I think that's a great hire. I'm really not excited about losing him.

Coaching sure mattered to the New England Patriots this year.

Dude. Every coach hasn't worked out for the last 50 years where the Lions are concerned, so no it really doesn't matter.

So because one coach didn't work out it means that the coach doesn't matter?

It really doesn't matter. Many years ago the Lions signed a can't miss coach in Mariucci. Well they missed and I am pretty sure he has never been heard from again.

Ha. When I said O minded coach I didn't mean him. Sorry Detroit.
Though honestly he can't be worse than Schwartz. |
