"the line has players but is a question with poor coaching"

Elaborate. This poor OL coaching meme is getting out of hand, followed by, if only we can get HH back, also a wish of many a Bears fan: Fire Harry Hiestand. I have no idea whether Quinn is adequate or not for ND's claimed championship ambitions, and I certainly hated the process of his hiring, which looked like giving cover for a predetermined crony hire. But Quinn developed Joe Staley and Jason Kelce and was a finalist as OC and OL coach at Cincinnati for the Broyles Award and the OL looked much better last year when Dexter Williams returned from suspension. The RB situation this year is embarrassing for a program like ND. There is no big play ability. If there is a hole, the backs don't have speed or quickness to get to it and if they do get in the open field, no elusiveness, no explosiveness. They prefer to try to run over defenders. It's unfair to hold Quinn accountable for this mess in these circumstances, especially with the OL injuries and inexperience. If things don't improve with the arrival, hopefully, of play making talent at RB, then I'll join the call for his removal.
