Given really sub-standard talent to work with in 2008 and 2009, the Redskins' OL under his tutelage and his motivation were sub-standard. If that isn't obvious to you, I don't know how else to explain a combined record of 12-20 with minimal offensive output.

Do you feel the same about Joe Gibbs? he never won a SB without the hogs. His teams struggled without superior talent.
Would Jacoby have been as successful if he played for another team?
I doubt it.
Lachey and May are the only two players who are superior athletes. Jacoby and Grimm didn't come out of college playing like hall of famers.
