He might prefer one scheme over another, but I would wager he could coach what's called for...at least, I hope. An experienced math teacher can probably teach a history class, but that doesn’t mean they’d be a very good history teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some horror stories about those exact types of issues. Most often that's why some teachers only teach to a test or reiterate what's in the book, because they don't know enough about the subject to be able to be good at teaching it.

Ultimately, what's being reported is that Reich wanted to bring in his own guy. DeGuglielmo was the only coach brought in by McDaniel's before he jumped ship back to the Pats.

Yes, but man blocking scheme and zone blocking scheme are in the same category! I would imagine that someone who teaches world history and make it interesting could also do a commendable job of making US history interesting as well.

RpMc Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Speaking from my personal experience, zone blocking is much easier to teach than man blocking as well. Regardless of if you're using a numbered, gap, or some system that's a combinatio of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to add to this, speaking from my personal experience, zone blocking is much easier to teach than trying to teach math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikings209 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Cincy's just let go of Frank Pollack. He helped Dallas's line become the best in the league a few years back and helped improve the Bengals line this year. Maybe we take a run at him. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/15/ol-coach-frank-pollack-out-in-cincinnati/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCountryEvo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Philbin, Pollack, DeGuglielmo... some very interesting options out there. I'm not going to say Barone can't do a good job in a full time role as the OL coach, but I can't help but want a change. I'll probably be disappointed if we don't go after one of these more interesting names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I guess I’m not all the enamored with DeGuglielmo. Yes, the Colts had a very impressive year, and their o-line played well, but how much of that was due to DeGuglielmo and how much was due to Reich? How good is DeGuglielmo, really? His track record before this past year is not very impressive, with a number of one year stints. Honestly, with the success that the Colts o-Line has this year it says a lot that Reich was still willing to fire him. I feel like the talk about him is the typical short sighted over reaction that we normally see from the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I like Kubiak, but why did we have to bring his crew with him? For continuity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
