If I were building a team from scratch, I would start by finding the best offensive line coach in the business and pay him whatever he wants. A good offensive line makes any team a contender, regardless of what they have at the skill positions.

You are 100% correct. It all starts with those six guys up front. The skill positions are useless without a good OF line. BTW Joe Bugel is one of the best in the business.

I agree, and I think Mike Tice is the best dam offensive line coach in the business. Denny Greene can thank Tice for his great offensive machine of the late "90"s. Denny's problem was he thought a great offense meant you did not need to spend money on a defense. Plus he wanted the best black team in the NFL, and ultimately went down by putting his faith in a terrible QB named Daunte Culpepper.

Sadly for Tic, he was promoted well beyond his ability by Red McCombs after he fired Re-Run, and then quit spending money all together because he decided to sell the team when he could not get a stadium deal with Minn. A deal they recently made with a liberal Jew (Ziggy Wilf). They could have saved about 1/2 billion if they worked with McCombs, but he was a conservative and Minn was still controlled by liberals back then.
