The New England Patriots have parted ways with offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The news comes one day after the Patriots’ 20–18 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, in which quarterback Tom Brady took 23 hits including four sacks.

Well that didn't take long. Boom! He's outta there!

 

They certainly make a statement, don't they? I personally have never seen their OL play so bad.
Also I have never seen Tom Brady play so bad.

 

Bellicheat and Brady were not going to take responsibility for their loss.

 

Nope. I wonder if Rivera fires his OL coach after getting blasted by the Denver pass rush?

 

Hmm, looks like the only line to handle them in the playoffs was Pittsburgh's

Interesting huh?

 

Munchak for assistant coach of the year!

If/when Tomlin leaves I hope Munchak is still around and gets serious consideration.

 

Nope! We saw what happens when he takes the reigns. Some guys are just better when they have the time to individually work with the players.

 

How true you are, some are just position coaches and that is fine also.

 

He went 22-26 with the Titans.

Then he got fired.

Then they went 5-27.

How is the Titans being a terrible organization Munchak's fault?

It's pretty clear to me that Munchak is excellent at imparting his knowledge to his players. The OL is greatly improved under Munchak. He's a very good coach.

 

You said it...the Offensive line is greatly improved. Dick Lebeau wasn't very good as a head coach either, but he was a great DC. I don't get why people get upset and think you're saying a guy isn't a good coach, by saying you want him doing what he's proven he can do well versus what he hasn't shown himself good at.

Basically you'd be saying, "Wow our line is really good with you as the OL coach...be our head coach where you don't have the time to dedicate to the OL and individual players."

Head coach imparts different responsibilities outside what position or even Coordinators do. A coordinator can go over to position coaches and tweek what they do to suit what they want in the positions. Head coaches have been known to do that as well, but some do it way better than others. I think Jimmy Johnson was really good that this type of approach.
