I know it used to be only 2 seasons of PS eligibility and/or X number of games on the active roster, with exceptions being related to injury.

At least that is how I remember it...

Thanks for the clarification gents

Really too bad about Tennant, hopefully the guy we've got now proves to be teachable. Can't get much better of an O-line coach than Kromer. Dude has absolutely nothing to prove anymore about how to make a great unit, so if he says Tennant had to go I definitely respect his opinion

I think it had a lot to do with Olsen impressing than Tennant being a bust.

Kromer had nice things to say about his assistant O-line coach - Frank Smith - in the recent press conference, so hopefully Smith will be able to carry on Kromer's great work if/when Kromer gets a shot at being a HC with some team.

New Orleans Saints: Frank Smith
