Patriots parted ways with oline coach Dave Degugliemo.

Makes sense bet Rex takes him in some capacity in Buff.
Would love Scar or Munchak

Obviously there were issues this year, didn't see it coming. Bill rarely fires coaches. Good to see he's doing what he has to do.

Excellent News !!!!!!!

A step in the right direction.

That's not exactly shocking. I hope they have someone good lined up to take his place.

 

[HeadHunter]

Good news. Figured that was coming.

 

[archstanton543]

That's great news!

 

[Joey007]

Good riddance.

We miss you, Scar!!

OLs can go from poor to a strength in no time (Panthers & Steelers OLs transformed over night).

Any change is good change IMO.

Anybody have an idea who the in house replacement could be if they go that route?

The two coaching assistants are Jerry Schuplinski (offensive background) and Steve Belichick. Other than them, who knows.

My guess is it won't be in house.

Koppen probably likes his TV job but he'd be a great choice if he were interested, so well spoken on TV.

I just hope it's not a former sports talk radio host like Googs.

Why would he be a great choice?

You beat me to it. It was a puzzling choice 2 years ago.

I mean, it is hardly a surprise. Granted there were a lot of injuries to that group this year, but someone had to be held accountable for the record number of hits TB12 absorbed yesterday, and furthermore, there was the regression (nagging injuries aside) of players like Stork and Cannon to name a few.

I just said that for fun, not saying it's an option. But to answer your question, he knows Belichick, the offense, OL play and he's very articulate. Also he forged a really nice career with limited skills.
