I'm of the belief that if a team has the QB and is loaded with talent, just about any position coach can learn a playbook, create some wrinkles for the personnel on the team, and be an okay OC that doesn't stick out as in need of being fired. You don't have to be some mad scientist Al Saunders for people not to demand your head at the end of the year. Just be organized, lead the practices like you would your position groups, and the guys will typically take care of the rest.

Example: Nathaniel Hackett was a shitty OC elsewhere, but paired with the Rodgers/Adams combo, and he looked like a respectable OC. People were thinking Freddie Kitchens did a good job as interim OC that one year before he flopped as a head coach.

Lombardi had plenty of experience as a QB coach. He had a system with talented players and a pretty damn good QB. There is ZERO reason why he shouldn't have been able to make that crap work more effectively.
