NFL Offensive Lineman - Article from cbssports - Chance Warmack included

Good post. I was just reading an SI article highlighting the fact that NFL prospects' mastery of fundamental skills are deteriorating fast yet they have less time to develop them in the NFL. The article made exception for Bama players.
I read an article where Chance Warmack spoke out against the offensive line coach of the Titans (now fired) for the past 2 seasons. Chance said that he was a Division 3 linebacker. That coach is now coaching tight ends at another Division 3 school. You wonder how some of these guys get head coaching/general manager jobs and then make so many flippant decisions. Kind of mind boggling..

No wonder Tennessee has been terrible lately. That scenario is mind-boggling. That guy must've read a lot of books on blocking, LOL.I read an article where Chance Warmack spoke out against the offensive line coach of the Titans (now fired) for the past 2 seasons.

There's an addage that goes, "Those who can't do, teach." I would say, however, that those who couldn't don't teach well. It's hard to imagine Chance and co. deriving an ounce of beneficial instruction from this clown.
This makes me even more upset with the Titans. I wondered what happened to Warmack and now it all makes sense. The old regime up here should be ashamed of themselves for doing this to these guys.I read an article where Chance Warmack spoke out against the offensive line coach of the Titans (now fired) for the past 2 seasons.

I believe that there are many good coaches who are coaching positions other than that which they played. That part of Warmack's criticism is pure bunk. But where he points out that his coach was unwilling to listen to his players when they had ideas - that is enough to fire him. That is why his players did not respect him.
I know what you mean and I know this happens quite a bit but you would think the nfl would have some good o-line coaches who actually played o line in the pros. Experience helps explain what is going on during a game. They don't have to all pro guys coaching.

At every level, it's always coaching. Hard to imagine a lousy position coach or coordinator sticking around without a lousy head hombre enabling. NFL product is getting hard to watch.
I don't think it's a big deal to have a coach who didn't play the game. I think it's a problem to have a person coaching a position group he's never coached before. By all accounts the coach in question was previously a linebackers coach and nothing else. I think the bigger problem was his lack of coaching background relative to the position group he was coaching not what level of football he played..
I agree, maybe if he would have started coaching the o-line at a lower level and worked his way up, he would have very good at his job.
I agree to a point - we don't have to look much further than our own staff. Kirby was a DB, but coached DBs then ILBs. Pruitt also has done different position groups and done well. I do think it's very hard to take a guy who played and was always a defensive coach, and swap them to OL. I also think there are groups that have enough similarities that it's not that different. That said, OL is it's own beast entirely and taking someone without a long track record of coaching it, even if they played something else, and making them a pro coach seems ridiculous. Someone who played or knows the TE and RB groups could probably make a that transition easier than a guy who'd always been on the other side of the ball.
Yeah, I'm not sure who Chance is referencing. From his Titans bio page:
I don't even see a defensive position on there.
He was only the Titans onlineoline coach starting last year, he could mean someone else.

Bostad played linebacker at Wisconsin-Stevens Point from 1986 to 1989. Warmack was clearly talking about Bostad - and he clearly had no idea what he was talking about. Again, the criticism about Bostad not accepting ideas or suggestions from his players may be legit, but it looks like Warmack was just looking for a scape goat for him not having the 5th year of his contract picked up.
Well, if criticism of not accepting ideas or suggestions from the players may be correct, then why not leave it at that? If you are not having meaningful communications with the players and you lose their respect, how are you able to teach effectively?
Like I said, this is a deal breaker for me. I would dismiss someone in a leadership position who was unwilling to listen. But that doesn't let Warmack off the hook for attacks that were unfounded.
Still not sure what broken deals you're worried about, unless you're president of the Warmack fan club? For a bunch of players, who sounded like they were just sitting around, chewing the fat, you seem to be looking for a whole lot of motive?
