There are certain positions within professional or college sports that come with more scrutiny than is probably deserved. People who serve in these roles know what they’re signing up for. As an example, every hitting coach in the history of Major League Baseball has been most hated person in that city at some point in his or her respective career. Want to be a defensive coordinator in the NFL? Hope you’re ready for the arrows to be slung in your direction as your defense goes up against some of the better quarterbacks in the league.
Serving as an offensive line coach, particularly in the SEC, is one of these positions.
