Yeah, I don't see it either. You don't hire an OL coach who you don't think can do the job in order to get a QB. If the OL stinks, it doesn't matter who you have as QB.

Foley has offensive line coaching experience also. Maybe he helps with Raiola.
Have you ever watched the movie Blue Chips?
Maybe Donovan is a good Oline coach and, if you can’t do significantly better, maybe it gives you an edge to rerecruit Dylan.
Well this will certainly be interesting. It definitely won't be boring around these parts.
Whipples scheme and playcalling didn't do Raiola any favors.
Although I'm skeptical about Donovan being an good OL coach, I definitely think that Rhule is keeping him because he thinks Donovan will do a good job. The post I was responding to seemed to imply that Rhule is keeping Donovan, regardless of his evaluation of Donovan's coaching ability, because it might land him Dylan. That's what I don't buy.
I've wondered if this might have been part of the conversation - or interview - between Rhule and Raiola.
Not that DR would bury Whipple's plan in said interview, can't imagine that would demonstrate the character Rhule is likely looking for.
But there certainly would have been some self-reflection from the season, along with tangible examples how he would develop the OL going forward that may have led MR to believe Raiola could do exactly what he wanted with Satterfield leading the offense.
Or I could be completely wrong.
Its hard to blame Raiola for the talent level on this past year's Oline. I'm very willing to give him a 2nd chance where he's had a chance to work with a group for a few years.
I don't expect miracles in year one.
My take is that Rhule must see it as more of an S&C problem than a coaching problem.
