There is a lack of toughness on this team. I keep beating the dead horse of going back to when the fired DeGuglielmo as the oline coach. He was the guy who focused more on toughness and meanness over technique, and Reich wanted technique. He was the guy who kicked Good off the team because he wasn't emotionally able to play after his brother got killed.

DeGuglielmo is currently the OL coach for Boston College, wish they would give him a call.

Sure - if you want to shake things up and fire the line up, OK.

But he would not be a long term answer.

He has had 7 different jobs in the last 7 years.

He is a job hopper / drifter.

I guess you could use him as a bridge to a longer term hire.
