to tagalong with the STs...

After the O-line play this year I think the question must at least be asked. Ingalls had been the RB coach the previous 4 yrs. dlP might be the biggest indictment. His play was clearly a step down from what it had been previously. Gruubs looked like he went backwards also in year 2 as a Saint.

Posted cuz I'd love to see this name...

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports ex-Titans coach Mike Munchak will meet with the Steelers regarding their OL coach position.
Munchak lost out to Jim Caldwell for the Lions' head-coaching job and James Franklin for the Penn State opening, so now he will likely have to settle for an OL coach job. Munchak is regarded as one of the league's best line coaches and has also met with the Texans about their opening.

Should payton have already made these decisions if he was replacing certain guys?

Possibly, but we were hampered early in the year with injuries and underperforming personnel. I'm not saying that there wasn't a drop off from Kromer to whoever we have now, but the o-line as a unit played much better towards the end of the season. Certainly they played well enough to win the last game we played.

I think the suckage of the oline was indeed the fact we lost Kromer. You saw the huge difference in how they played last year when he was head coach and how much they improved when Vitt took over.

I would be disappointed if SP didnt hire a new oline coach.

I mentioned this a while back, and I think people don't appreciate what a huge loss Kromer leaving to Chicago was. There is a reason our line was stable for most of Payton's tenure here no matter who played. The only major hick up came when Kromer was staffed with being head coach and couldn't focus his time on the OL.

Ingalls is simply not that good. May be a good RB coach, but as an OL he's very suspect. The whole OL regressed, so you can't place it on one player, thus it goes back to coaching.

Munchak would be a great hire and they could reassign Ingalls. He's also got talent to work with here. Hell, I'd even can Carmichael and replace him with Munchak since Payton is really who runs the offense just to get him as OL coach.
