We just need to get over the idea that we are better than we really are. Neither our players or coaches are good enough to win a championship barring a miracle. Serious upgrades are needed. 

Same level? I dont think anyone is saying that. He's definitely worse.

Not really platooning- if the starter is playing well then it never happens , more like a rebreather , only used in the certain situation where it looks like the young QB needs a mental reset, before they get sucked into a panic vortex
 

Giving a fragile QB to Mike O'Shea is not funny. God is a maniac.

Yes, I think there's an argument that each year the team has been better than the one the year before. Walters has improved the talent on this team especially in the first few years. O'Shea and his coordinators improved the coaching. Eventually the progress seemed to plateau and is now trending down. We are an average team with average players and average coaching. In my opinion, to get to the next level, we will need better players and better coaches.

Very sad to hear about Richie Hall's brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with Richie Hall at this very difficult time.

Condolences to Coach Hall on the passing of his brother

First Joe Mack for 17to85 and now Mike O'Shea.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hall family. 

I don't even know that Collaros would be eligible for insurance

What kind of insurance is Collaros???  Oh yeah, just like most insurance....useless.

Didn't get him for free. It's also going to be really windy on Saturday, so he may get hurt standing on the sidelines. Maybe they can borrow one of the balls from the Power97 race? 

Please don't miss with that bullet to my head. Quick and painless, please. 

The less that comes out of his mouth... the better.

And if we continue with this element of patience....we will all be patient. It’s ironic we have endured 6 seasons of this rebuild re tool and people want to fire Campbell, Chamblin, Maas and Claybrookes and think nothing of that.....we have one playoff win...there are some Cup winners in that group of “rejects”

We could have done this last year, and the year before, and the year before ... enough.

Think of it this way, what if another coach comes in here, brings some great coordinators with him, and we win multiple cups. Wouldn't you be okay with O'Shea leaving then? I know I would. Even 1 cup before I die and I'd be so grateful. Besides, we could have a little ceremony, honour O'Shea and thank him for all his hard work, and wish him the best in his new endevour. Heck, we could name a street after him or you could name your dog after him. No end of ways to say thanks.

If O'Shea leaves and goes elsewhere, there's nothing the team can do about it.   He obviously wants to go home and you can't compete with that.   I'd like him to stay and bring a Cup to the city and it's long suffering fans. \but if he goes, well you move on and sign the best candidate available.   
I remember losing an employee to a competitor and this guy was probably the best employee I had and had a bright future ahead of him.  When I called my boss in a panic letting him know that he left for the competition.  His response was no problem. Here's an opportunity to hire someone even better than the guy we lost. 
So while I would be upset if Osh leaves. Here's a chance to find the coach that will take us to the promised land. 
 
 
 
 

Why? I mean that statement alone, whether you care to see O’Shea go or not, is incredibly true. 

literally the only person I'd want to have as our HC, aside from Osh...

This is one of the single dumbest things posted on this board in recent memory...

No Sir. But I am suggesting we are getting far from his best. This is not A-grade Lapo we have been getting of late. It's C-grade.
I fully agree with the rest of your post.
