Frank Reich just fired his Oline coach after doing a great job to bring in one of his guys instead.

I mean yeah? You'd be hard pressed to find anybody who disputes that.

You just agreed with someone who said coaches  always hire their friends, implying coach quality was secondary.

No. A coach doesn't intentionally hire someone he thinks is gonna be awful. But they will hire their friends and people they've worked with quite often. 

It's extremely common to see a coach bringing in his own guys regardless of their track record, they still think they can do a good job with them and obviously they will trust someone they know will work under them over some stranger.

It's pretty odd as an NFL fan you seem totally unaware of this trend. Nobody is saying they intentionally are hiring awful coaches who they know will do an awful job under them.

You don't need to be in a position meeting to know Tom Cable is an awful offensive line , nor do you to know Dante or Mike Munchak are elite offensive line coaches.  

By your logic there is no way fans can ever know if a player or head coach is good or bad. Hue Jackson is an elite head coach, fans aren't in meeting rooms or involved in gameplanning so how are we to know?

You're right - we don't ever know. What makes you think we should? Do you know who the best brain surgeon in America is? If it were on Brain Surgery of the Week on ESPN I bet you'd be telling us who is.

That is why going into coaching is such a crapshoot. So many things outside your control. So many variables. By your logic we always have to assume whomever was fired was bad and whomever was hired was good. And of course we just figure out the best and worst by stats. That's it. There are obviously no other factors to consider.

Yes becauae a brain surgeons track record is very comparable. At least stay in the field of reality here.. 

Here's a question, who do you think the best OCs and DCs are? Or do you just have absolutely no idea?
