To give a possible answer to @luuked's question: they likely see Daboll as JMcD's successor, and that may have guided their thinking.

He first had Daboll shadow Dante for an entire year, then when Goodsey left he suddenly made him TE coach despite being around Scar and the OL for over a year. Then he decided to hire outside but didn't give the coach he hired enough power and control to actually make decisions and built the kind of OL that he wanted. Googe was obviously the wrong person to coach "Scar" type players and yet we drafted even more of those prototypic players.
Like I said.. either stay true to the "Scar" philosophy of OL players and find a coach who can do exactly that or hire outside and go all in on what the new coach wants to do. There are no half measures.
Lol how do you even know any of this to be true? It's a fun theory though.
That and there aren't any OL coaches out there that they thought would be as good as Scar.To give a possible answer to @luuked's question: they likely see Daboll as JMcD's successor, and that may have guided their thinking.

To be fair, Scarnecchia was never truly retired in a sense that he completely left the game, if you consider the reports of how he scouted O-linemen and conducted workouts etc.It leaves me wondering about what was going on for Scar when he initially retired. Did he just need a year off, and discovered that he missed the game too much to "retire?"
That'd be me, and everything I've heard seems to be true.The Daboll stuff you see in the Reiss ESPN piece that was posted. The Googe stuff was posted by various beat reporters and a guy who worked with Googe's cousin (?) after the Denver game and was discussed extensively in many threads in this forum.
There it is right there if Scar can take Canon and co and improve on their play then we are ahead.I understand that but it still makes no sense to me. Daboll had a year of experience with all OL players and intimate view on how Dante dealt with them and coached them up. They threw away an entire year of experience. And not only that but then they hire someone who is just not equipped to deal with Dante's projects ? Devey was a Scar project.. Cannon was playing good in 2013 when Vollmer went down and I still remember Scar being excited about him in that preseason TC. Since then he regressed severely.
This entire cluster**** was mismanaged at some point.
Yeah, maybe. I don't know the guy, obviously. If he does come back, I just hope there's a coach he could start to mentor or something, so all this great Oline magic isn't just in Dante's noggin.For all we know, he's still getting up at oh dark hundred.
I'd pay top dollar to hear Scar's comments with regards to what was wrong and what he would have done differently this past season.
