Never thought about this way.......better transition/less learning curve
MM doesn’t know Columbo so he fella more comfortable with someone he knows
That comment doesn't make Colombo look very good at all.
Not really. Maybe Columbo doesn't know fully how McCarthy wants the line to block.

I didn't take it as a attack on Colombo. I think we saw what happened when you got a OL coach in here who wasn't the right fit. It will destroy a whole offense. Colombo....I will be honest I don't know how much of a impact he had on a unit hat was good before he got here and I'm not even sure how to even grade offensive linemen. But I will say Fredericks had a very good bounce back year and La'El Collins had the best year of his career. We did not see the development of Connor Williams like we hoped but I'm not sure if that's on coaches or on him at this point.

I'm struggling with this one a bit. I understand the need to be comfortable with the O-line coach and I'm absolutely in step with the line of thought that the O-line was a shell of it's former self this past season.
I think Colombo needed to go for that reason but Marc was an *** kicker and Philbin seems to be more of a technician (from coaching standpoints). The last "technician" we brought in here (Alexander) completely screwed this group up. As bad as this line underachieved with Colombo, they were WAY worse under Alexander.

Fair enough, and I appreciate your input but I think (especially with this O-line) when you go away from the aggressive nature of this group and try and make them a finesse group, it's a disservice to what they actually do best. Just my .02.This is true but at the same time if there's one unit that can use a technician and not a *** kicker its the offensive line. They don't have any dogs on it and they give everything they have on that field.

Part of the problem with online to me was injuries, lots of change with guys and Fred getting his strength backI'm struggling with this one a bit.

I don't think it speaks to him at all.

How familiar is Colombo with the WCO? Guessing not very, so do you want your OL coach learning a new system while he teaches it?

Lol... I said "Columbo" like he's the cross-eyed homicide detective.Not really. Maybe Columbo doesn't know fully how McCarthy wants the line to block.
Remember: he hasn't been coaching the Oline for very long and he might be coaching something completely different from what Mike wants.
