He was a step down from Kromer, and we need talent. No one is claiming otherwise with regard to the latter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That was necessary. Let’s hope they bring someone in with experience and that has played and understands the Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You have to think that McD would do this only if there was someone available that he was interested in. With all of the head coaches fired recently, I would expect the new o-line coach to be coming from one of those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they allow at least this hire and a real QB coach. Allen seems to be developing well. What makes you say that other than his past experience as a WR coach. I care about the present and the results not the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Another name is Corey Matthaei Assistant Oline coach under Andy Reid in KC the past couple seasons. Prior to that was assistant QB coach. Has been with Andy Reid since 2006 and worked with McDermott for a few years in Philadelphia. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when these "big names" go down with injuries? The wheels of great teams don't fall off. Look what the Pats Oline coach did for years with what ever homeless person they found on the streets of Boston. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except some teams reserve the rights of those coaches until they hire a new head coach and head coach decides which to keep and which to dump. Every team has good coaches who should not lose jobs and be paid to not work just because head coach is fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Vlad, Newhouse and Bodine were bad before they ever got here. That's on McBeane.

I just don't want Beane saying something like "let's see how these guys do with a different coach" or something as ridiculous. I don't see it like that. I think it's more "Any position that can be upgraded will be upgraded, including the coaches." We'll see position upgrades too.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thank goodness. Another year of that line play would’ve gotten me banned for my gameday thread outbursts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaT Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I try not to rejoice at another man's suffering but I think it was justified. I too didn't think much of the talent but the run game was awful all year (except for Allen). It never looked like they knew what to do to make it better. I think starting over, drafting an O lineman and signing a free agent to bolster it and re-thinking the approach is wise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an important step in revamping this offense. His replacement will be another important step. They need to kill this hire, because he is going to start from scratch with a lot of new bodies and several different things to put together, both in the run game and pass game. It's a good start though. That's one school of thought. Most theologians would say, however, if there was he would never have been hired.
