However, I mean if you're willing to give Lou 3 years to work and get the pieces he needs on defense shouldn't you've done that with Turner on the OL? I mean the dude only got 2 years and Lou's defense the last 2 years was just as a bad as the OL.
To be fair to Turner, Lou has had $200 million invested in his defense so again it better be good. What's Turner get? Spain? Hart?
Well, actually this is just starting his year 3, right? But you're right, I give new coaches/co-ordinators 3 years to get their players and implement the system they want. If they can't do it in 3, then I'm fine with letting them go. As for the Turner comparison, no, I don't equate a position coach, who coaches a position with a Coordinator who implements a system and works with the HC. If a line coach can't teach a lineman to block to fit a system, then they are not a good coach. Sure, some players are more capable of playing in a certain system, but I think that applies more to skill positions. Linemen do two thing, pass block and run block. By the time they get to this level, a line coach should be able to get them to play no matter what the system is.
