Quote:I would think the elimination of most of those players comes after the draft.

 

If a team knows a position coach sucks at coaching/developing players, one would think they wouldn't hire him in the first place or at least fire the guy after the season and get his replacement before this process rolls around.  So if the team were good in identifying talent and bad at developing it, they would be on the roster for a bit then be released (see the LB Marshall we cut that went to Denver).

 

If a team is too inept to know the position coach sucks at developing talent, then even assuming they identified a prospect that could develop into a viable player, they wouldn't weed him out because the position coach sucks.

 

If anything they'd weed the guy out in the draft board construction phase because they suck at evaluating talent. Now maybe in addition to sucking at player development, Jimmy the LB coach sucks at identifying talent, so perhaps that happens.
 

I think Coughlin/Marrone have done a nice job of eliminating some, if not all, of the inept coaches this offseason. Offensive line and special teams were some gaping liabilities the last few seasons.
