While I don't completely disagree with your logic, it's the job of the Head Coach to have the team prepared and ready to play.  The pre-snap penalties and the penalties that brought back positive yardage plays made the job of being a rookie QB more difficult than it would have been had the Head Coach (and staff) done their jobs better. Urban failing in his job contributed to Lawrence looking worse than he would have if the team was "ready to play".

It's a thin line and a dumb hill to debate on. Our line has been horrible no matter who the coach was last yr, before that, and now this year. Being a rookie HC at this level and having experienced NFL Personnel around you not blowing him up about these same issues is not all on him. Yes, he should have the team prepared and yes the team should reduce penalties. We have 2 OCs, well 3 with urbz dang near, and still had a horrible game plan on offense. Blaming him like he should have known all these things and been close to an expert on how to fix or patch them in one offseason and not even 1st full year yet is laughable. Even the tenured coaches we have had have struggled. Heat up some more popcorn.
