I would be disappointed if SP didnt hire a new oline coach.
More would be pleasantly surprised for me if he did.
So much of what goes on with coaches we really cannot see. I'm with the Can McMahon crowd but I have zero hope of that happening as long as he has been in place. That one would be even more shocking to the plus side (ala Gibbs-Williams-Spags-Ryan).

I think the drastic increase in sacks had as much to do with the lack of a second deep threat as it did the line. When a defense only has to worry about one guy stretching the field, it allows them to focus on defending the short and intermediate portions. That means the QB has to hold on to the ball longer as he waits for his receivers to get open, which in turn leads to more sacks. Couple that with an inadequate LT, and bad things happen.

I don't think so. We had a well below average journeymen at center, a low round pick at RT who isn't exactly a very athletic linemen but has been serviceable, and chaos at LT until Armstead stepped up and owned the position. We had our highly paid guard banged up for a good bit of the early going. I think we just need a personal upgrade at C and maybe RT or at least full health with our big guys. I think far too often posters on many boards on this site want to lay blame on coaches because it is a lot easier than admitting their team's personnel isn't as good as they'd like it to be.
