Who said that?
My thing is, if we knew we were going to fire the OC, why not put Henne back in there to take the beatings? Henne only played 2.5 games. We literally learned nothing from the Blaine Gabbert disaster. I hope Fisch and Gus haven't ruined Bortles like Del Rio did when he played Gabbert way too early.
Quote:Not trying to say Yarno is not very good because I honestly don't know. I do wonder if he could be upgraded?
Is there a zone blocking version of Jerry Sullivan out there?
It is my understanding that it is the OCs call about keeping the assistance under him. Is that correct?
Just looking at the NFL coaching resume for Yarno outside of Jacksonville and I don't see a team that had a dominant O-Line.
2008 Tampa Bay - Team Finished 9/7 - Missed Playoffs
2009 Detroit - Team Finished 2/14 - Missed Playoffs
2010 Detroit - Team Finished 6/10 - Missed Playoffs
2011 Detroit - Team Finished 10/6 - Playoffs - Wildcard Game Loss
2012 Detroit - Team Finished 4/12 - Missed Playoffs
Maybe I am missing the big picture, I hope I am.
I understand looking at how the team finished does not give an complete picture of how the O-Line Coach performed. I also see the clear progression of Detroit from 2009-2011.
The thing is, I just don't remember any of these teams having a good/great O-Line.
The new OC will determine if Yarno stays or not I believe.

How does one determine the difference between being "ruined" by being played too early, and not being all that good to begin with?
How good would Gabbert have been if he were not played "too early"? And when is too early?
We say all these kinds of things as if they are 1) true and 2) verifiable.
Wasn't Yarno gone all year battling Cancer? I don't think he was the issue with our O line if it was him I honestly can't remember.
What does these #'s say about Joeckel?
