2012 O-line coach for the Raiders when they had a not-very-mobile QB (Palmer) yet had the 4th lowest sack% in the league (only 27 sacks in 629 attempts)

Sack% ranked 14th, 17th, and 14th in the three years he was the O-line coach in Dallas ('15-'17), but he had elite talent there.

Sack percentage can be a bit deceptive, when determining the quality of the OL pass blocking.  For example when Palmer was with the Raiders, Palmer wasn't very mobile or much of a threat to run.  His MO is to quickly get set, get through his read progressions, and get the ball out as quickly as possible.  Whereas if you have a mobile, athletic QB, they like to hold the ball a little longer, wait for something to develop or a running lane to open.  Even with elite talent on the OL, NFL defenders are going to get through after 4-5 secpmds/
