Chance Warmack didn’t have the nicest things to say about Bob Bostad, his former offensive line coach with the Tennessee Titans. During a roundtable discussion with CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco, Warmack was asked if he’s had to deal with any stubborn coaches during his career, and that’s when he unloaded on Bostad.
I had one dude (coach) who played D-III football at linebacker. And he’s teaching me how to play offensive line? If there’s nothing wrong with that, you tell me. I play offensive line. I don’t play linebacker. I definitely didn’t play D-III football. Not knocking D-III schools out there. We’re talking about the highest level of football in the world. And you have a guy who has never put his hand in the dirt teaching me how to block. You don’t think there’s anything wrong with that? I appreciate a coach who is open-minded to questions and comments. They don’t want to hear a question that questions their philosophy. When they are closed-minded, it stunts the growth of the offensive lineman.
Bostad, a four-year starter for Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the 1980s, was let go by the Titans when Mike Mularkey was named head coach in January. He’s now the tight ends and fullbacks coach at Northern Illinois. Mularkey replaced Bostad with Hall of Famer Russ Grimm, who played 11 seasons at guard for the Washington Redskins.
With Grimm coaching up the Titans’ offensive line, Warmack shouldn’t have anything to complain about. He’s more than qualified for the job. Warmack, on the other hand, hasn’t lived up to hype of a former first-round pick. He needs to worry about his own game and less about who is coaching the offensive line.
