All This coaching talk is somewhat white noise.

However, to me, the unit that objectively underperformed as the season went on was the oline.

Yes, the lead RB is about as agile as Mr Creosote. Yes th QB holds the ball too long sometimes. yes the C and RG may be below avg.

That said, therr were too many missed blitz pickups, stunt confusion, and holding calls. I mention the holding callas as Green Bay was supposed to be innovative in their techniques to hold and keep it uncalled. This was a major topic after 2014 and 2016 playoffs. Philbin wasn't even there for that, though

The line seems talented enough, but just looked out of sorts too often. Philbin seems to be a McCarthy family member, otherwise I don't see anything he has done since 2011 that warrants retaining him. He has pretty much washed out everywhere

Should have already been gone.

Mike Munchak is the popular name for a replacement.

OL coaches in consideration:

- Munchak - well reknown OL coach

- Marc Columbo - team finished 2nd in NFL is Fewest sacks allowed and 5th in NFL in rushing in 2019 his last year in Dallas. ...

- James Campen (McCarthy's ex-Packer OL coach) ... currently pending Houston Texans next coaching staff. ..

But i'd really like to get that OC role replaced and re-handled as well.

Excellent post. The 2021 list of reasons for second half decline is definitely to include this group.
Coaching definitely matters.

I thought he coached well last year considering the whole Oline got hurt. This year it fell apart.
I throw away 2020. We were 6-10. No 1000yd rusher, got Dalton killed, started DiNucci once, Gilbert once. Everyone got a mulligan for 2020.

However, this year was as bad as Nolan early last year...at full strength

Munchak is the get, but I do like the fact that Columbo won't hesitate to tombstone piledrive someone on a moments notice...Dallas included

Would like to see Colombo. He knows the power blocking and scheme we used before that had us running the ball.. And he brings fire and nasty..
