Chapter 1: Who are the notable offensive line coaches in NFL history?
Who was the offensive line coaches throughout your career? I bet you could name them right off the top of your head.
Well, Jimmy McNally and Larry Bechtel were the two most impressive line coaches that I had. Most of the other guys that I had were just for a year or two. And they were good, too. Most line coaches are really solid coaches, yes.
Yeah, I mean, and it's important. So, like, if someone turns on this show and is like, listen, you guys are talking about offensive line coaches? No, you've got to understand. Like, I was an offensive lineman back in high school. You've got to have them. And we had Frank Malia. Who was a Zellner Award winner. Yeah, okay. Which was a top offensive lineman in Suffolk County.
And then we had Coach Roy Still as our offensive line coach up at Varsity.
Chapter 2: Why is the role of an offensive line coach crucial in football?
Man was a legendary offensive line coach next to Coach Sipp. Sort of like an assistant coach, head coach as well. Then you think about some of the great ones that have come through the NFL. You know, like a Dante Skarnecchia. Remember all that talk about the Patriots are losing Dante Skarnecchia? And how could they? He's got to be there.
And when he comes back, the offensive line is going to be great. And you hear about Carmen Brasillo here with the Giants now, who wasn't retained. And that was a big problem. And you even think about someone like Mike Munchak, who was a great offensive line coach, worked all the way up to the head coach. So you're asking, is it really that important? Yeah, damn right it's important.
It is 100% important because you're dealing with not just the offensive line, but you're dealing with the tight ends, any fullbacks that may be involved, different blocking schemes versus different defensive fronts. And it is an extremely important position.
And it's one of the reasons why I told you, Frank, one of the questions initially he asked me was about the offensive line coach for the Jets. Yeah. And I told him that the offensive line of the Jets was a bright spot. And I thought that they were very well coached and that Steve Heiden, their coach, I knew who he was, but I didn't know him personally.
But I said I thought that they really did a good job, and he ended up staying here.
Yeah. So I even remember during the Evan Tiki and Sean interview of the John Harbaugh press conference, Sean goes, you keeping eight coaches? We like Priscilla. We like Priscilla.
So they didn't keep him. So if they don't keep Priscilla now, is that because Priscilla was out there saying, don't come to the Giants, stay away from the Giants, it's such a mess? No. We're going to hear that next from Sean.
But here's what's very interesting about what's going on in the offensive line coach community. Did you see? Who stepped away was probably right now the premier offensive line coach in the NFL, Jeff Stoutland of the Philadelphia Eagles, who was there for 13 years. So he stepped away. Stepped away.
Away from the Eagles or away from football? I mean, so is Howie Roseman not going to let him just step away and then go to the Giants?

Chapter 3: What led to Jeff Stoutland stepping away from the Eagles?
And he was a great athlete, and he could move, and he had light feet. He was able to get himself up to the second level and make sure he could just get his hands on somebody so the running back could read and find a hole behind him.
