Why is Offensive Line Coach Larry Beichtol Unemployed? (1 Viewer)

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

For years Larry Beichtol was considered one of the NFL's best offensive line coaches, yet he's out of a job in consecutive years.

Could some Packers and Lions fans please explain that to me?

Reported during 2005 season,"At the heart of the issue is whether Beightol has been able to get the most out of his players and whether those who have been with him the longest are still listening to him. Beightol is loud and sometimes abrasive and players say they regularly tune him out. According to former members of the organization, Sherman has disciplined him for his blow-ups with certain players, including once this season."

He is an old school coach and I think today's players do not all react well to his methods. The primary reason he was let go from Green Bay after Sherman was fired had to do with the new coach wanting to install a completely different scheme.

Detroit players and coaches reportedly loved him

Guessing this is Millen passing the buck for the OLs struggles, which had nothing, NOTHING to do with Rick DeMulling, Jonathan Scott, or Ross Verba, all acquired by Millen this year.

BINGO!

Millen fired all the coaches that they told him too!

I think the biggest reason for Beightol being let go in Green Bay was the new coaching staff and blocking scheme. He should be a good pickup for someone else as long as he continues to coach.

He didn't get along with Martz

Have you seen any Lion's games this year? If so, enough said. If not, Kitna was always running for his life or picking himself up from the ground. Don't matter who you have at QB if they don't get time to throw.

I'm not buying that one, i've never heard anything like that before about him. He was the coach when we had darn near the best line in the league and Ahman was running for 1880 yards. He was fired here because it was clean house time, and they wanted to try something different. In detroit, its a scapegoat thing, Millen has to do something to make himself look good.

He might be able to find a job in Pittsburgh because one way or another the Russ Grimm will almost certainly not be coaching the Steelers o-line next season.

Agreed. He did incredible work with the Packers. All things considered he did some pretty darn good work last season with a patchwork offensive line. He's a terrific offensive line coach and I agree that his firing in Detroit is more of a scapegoat thing.

Loud abrasive old school coach?

Hmmm what team has a young o line....he would fit.

Please. That's not Beightol, that's Martz. Watch any game from his time as the HC of the Rams and you'll see the same thing.

Yep, he got fired and the guy that drove naked thru a wendy's drive-thru still has his job.

What a joke

I actually heard the exact same thing, so he isn't making this up.However, I agree that it probably isn't the reason he was let go in Green Bay. New coach, new scheme, new offensive line coach. I don't think it had much to do with Beightol.

That's what I have heard was the main reason.

Interesting that Tauscher himself says they tune him out:"I think 'Beck' coached the same way this year," tackle Mark Tauscher said. "One thing about 'Beck', you know he's a little bit crazy from time to time and there are some times when you have to kind of tune him out. But he knows what he's doing. His schemes have been copied all around the league. He's done a great job putting us in position to win. There's no question he's a good football coach."
