This article is over 2 months and is old and only makes a passing reference to a "coach" who has been on the Cleveland staff for almost two years. Hardly breaking news.

...yet it still generated a muttered "f---king GDL" from me.

The question begs- how does this happen over and over again? Or did we just not have the talent on the O Line for him to work with?

One it's the Browns. Two... Enough connections over a very long time in the game. Three... I suspect his fire and brimstone plays marginally better in the pros, where he's not needed to be as much of a teacher/leader.

Still sucks though!

It begs no question. Asst. O-line coach has dreadfully little responsibility. He was probably given the job as a favor. He was "acting" O-line coach for a grand total of about 28 days and the Browns hired someone else.

Besides the appearance that the college game seemed to pass these two particular "coaches," they had both been in the NFL too long between college stints. NFL players prove week in and week out that they have the appropriate self-motivation and drive by virtue of being NFL players. Incoming 18 year old college freshmen don't necessarily have this level of drive and may need a kick in the pants from time to time. Judging by teams performance between 2011-2013 and the comments Diaco made last year about strength and conditioning of the team as a whole, these two individuals were ill-prepared to provide that motivation.

Good ole boys club more than anything else. Plus, only thing more overrated than an OL coach in the NFL is a hitting coach in MLB.

If he said some of the things to NFL players that he said to our OL they would have said old man and probably shot him. Our guys had to suck it up and only fantasize about shooting him.

He's a frickin' assistant OL coach. In other words he's a glorified towel boy.

I'd love to see the interaction between GDL and Manzel, talk about two alien cultures colliding....rule by fear and don't give a crap
