The criticism of JP on the line isn't really fair. He mostly worked with the DE's and Carl still took most of the work with the interior which is where the majority of the problems were although he did run them when Carl was working at other stations so its not like he was hands off. That being said...he did suggest the changes made after all the guys started dropping like flies that seem to reduce the problems.I don't know John Papuchis from a hole in the ground but, if the way our D Line played this year is any reflection of how he coaches, then I think he should not only NOT be the next DC but should be removed from D Line coaching as well. It's possible that our problems have just been players or scheme but something needs to change for the better in that area. Now if he is DC in name only and Bo calls the shots, then that might work. Regardless we need to do something way different with the D line in the future, preferebly within the next month.
IMO he did have too much on his plate this year. The RC duties kill a bunch of time even with Els doing most of the day to day on special teams. I stated last year I thought it would hurt him some and I still stand by that.
