Training Camp Thread...

Yeah no kidding. Position coaches make lots of stops. They get hired because of a new head coach. They get fired because of a new head coach. They sign with other teams because their contracts expired. There are lots of reasons a position coach is with multiple teams. It doesn't mean that those teams were getting rid of Lal because he was no good.

And hell even great coaches get kicked to the curb. That's basically how we got Sean Payton once upon a time. And I don't think anyone would call him a shitty coach.

The fact that position coaching is such an inbred game of musical chairs only illustrates how teams play safe and are locked into unimaginative schemes that keep being regurgitated from team to team. The whole league is a collection of 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 teams that wallow in mediocrity year in and year out.

No wonder TV ratings are way off. No wonder most games are boring as shit to watch.

Same here and it makes me wonder why he's on his fifth team or whatever it is.

Because the production of his WR units has largely been lackluster. Which is why I'm ignoring all the verbal accolades being heaped upon him.

Sure he's probably an upgrade over Dooley, but he's certainly not the Andy Reid of WR coaches.
