We advise the Blue Brass: when should he go?

Mike O’Shea:

"Obviously a decision like this is a very difficult one to make on many levels," head coach Mike O'Shea said in a release. "The reality of the situation is such that we simply weren't good enough on the defensive side of the football this season, and felt that we needed to go in a different direction in this regard.

Not only that but Hall wasn't officially announced as the replacement until late January.

Hall might be hated now, but Id say he is still better then etch was imo.

In the defense of all coach's that step into a difficult situation, look at the personnel that Etch was given to work with.  It's inevitable that they can't turn it around in the year or two that they're given when the team is inept on both sides of the ball.  Fair warning to any HC picking up the reins in Mtl.

That is called a "left-handed compliment" like , "For a fat girl, you don't sweat much".

As they damn well should. You can't stand pat on what hasn't worked and expect anything to improve. That'd qualify as insanity.

Well, there is also the possibility of making regressive moves - we definitely saw some of that this year.

Have to look forward by never looking back.

You are certainly correct in that he had a lot less to work with then hall. The guy made no adjustments though. I remember seeing us missing a gap in assignment early in the first quarter, then for the whole rest of the game . (b gap on the right side iirc)

Ive heard it as a backhanded compliment, but never a lefty. Though i do kind of like the lefty version lol.

Start person X at MLB, change to someone else the following season. The next season, start person X again & ask the safety et. al. to cover some of his territory. That’s not looking back far enough. 

Daily reminder: not yet.

Find a DC who actually plays a middle linebacker. We went back to 2015 using Hurl. That was a case of looking back & not looking forward. 

My prediction, Sherrit will sign with the Bombers.

Do you have any idea what BC would want in a trade for Elimimian? Multiple starters & draft picks. It would be too rich for the Bpombers. Or any team
