Tom Cable for OL coach?

[Ranching]

He was just fired by the Seahawks! Good fit? What say you? I would love to have him over Columbo.

 

[Swanny]

I like Cable. But I would rather go with Colombo. Like to see if he's got what it takes to move up the ranks

If you are making it either/or, I would reluctantly go with Cable.

Maybe he could punch out a couple of our coaches and crack some skulls.

I see your point, but we don't have any more time to waste.

 

[canters]

Umm, so we are not the only team firing coaches this year when the play offs are missed?

Cable has a good rep in the league. He will not be available long.

Ok, if he's great, why is the SeaHawks O-line considered to be so bad? Poor talent? Drafting? Can we at least verify that Pollard is leaving before we start to pick successors. This guys name wouldn't be top on my list but that's just based on the quality of the Seattle's O-line. May have nothing to do with him as a coach at all. Or maybe it does. Buyer beware

They tried to get by with "coaching up" undrafted free agents after missing on draft picks (late 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders).

It was a lot like how Dallas went through a phase where they expected Hudson Houck to make miracles with undrafted free agents like Phil Costa, meanwhile blowing picks on bad players like David Arkin, Robert Brewster and James Marten. Biggest difference is the Seahawks went to two Super Bowls doing that, Dallas struggled to hit .500 most of the time.

The other part is that Cable had grown in stature. He was not just the OL coach. He was the run game coordinator and they struggled running the ball. He also is a big personality that their new offensive coordinator would probably not want to deal with anyway.

SeaHawks O-line ranking by PFF, 27'th. Dallas 14'th. Maybe it's not on the coach, maybe it's on the talent. Meh, talent is over rated, it's all on OUR coaches but not anyone elses

We Don't? We have a young QB and if he's gonna be the one we have time. If he's not the one we have time

mmmm sounds like us from 2010 to 2012 then we got smart and started to draft for the O-line. I'm still wondering how we have the worst coaches in the league and want everyone else's cast off coaches. Crazy no? Talent is the reason Seattles O-line is bad. Coaching is the reason our's dropped to 14'th. Just a bit crazy to me maybe

For a time, the Seahawks lined up jags, and asked Cable to coach them up. Once that didn't work, they started to put resources into it - Justin Britt was a second round pick, Germain Ifedi was a first round pick, Luke Joeckel was once the second overall pick in the draft, and they traded for Duane Brown, a former Pro Bowler and first round pick himself. The line remained dreadful.

Some of it is a talent problem, no question. A lot of it is that Cable just isn't that good of a coach. Pass.

 

[cowboyec]

I like him...maybe better than Mike Tice.
But I'm intrigued by Marc Colombo.

 

[Lane21Train]

Absolutely not. I’d rather have kellen moore as our oline coach

 

[jobberone]

I don't see the fall off of the OL as coaching.

 

[northerncowboynation]

Bahahaha Kellen Moore can't even see OVER our offensive line

Thank you brother. Finally some reality

 

[MRV52]

Kellen Moore? Put him to work in the cafeteria.

Fellow NFL head coach Tom Cable and ESPN analyst (and former NFL player) Mark Schlereth both blocked for Linehan during his college career at Idaho.
