Coincidentally, the only QB he was more accurate than was Collaros. ok, guess you're right. seems to have turned it around. but on seconod thought, he took over a team that was 0 and 8, so probably you would expect some problems. I think he's underrated. or at least has been. Edited July 4, 2018 by Mark F SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueFanatic Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 While Jennings is certainly regressing, I’m glad last night’s defensive game plan didn’t turn into a “Jennings is back!” festivus. Instead of burying Bighill into the opposing OL, Hall allowed his MLB to be the impact player we’ve all been expecting and waiting for. Having Bighill roam the middle meant more support for the db’s and more contested throws (and int’s!). It’s way more along the lines of how they should have handled the Ti-Cats. Make the guy throw from the pocket. With the talent on D qbs like Jennings and even Masoli will eventually beat themselves. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me wonder once again how a talented athlete like Jennings who shone for two seasons could look so bad now. Oh well, if I knew that, I could write a book and make a lot of money.

He had Rainey underneath and totally over threw him. If he could have connected, Rainy may have scored.. Don't understand why BC went away from their running game. Stubbornness of keeping to his gameplan and not adjusting Jarius Jackson imo did not call a very good game on top of Jennings not playing well.

The main problem is if the front 4 isn't hitting the QB, it's defective. Going bland against the better offenses in this league never works, and that's his problem. He never changes that approach.

Jaxon Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I voted "No" as I believe this is Osh's decision. A board and senior management should not micro manage a head coach. GM and the board get involved in selection of the HC, but they should leave the assistant coaching decisions for the HC to make. I have great confidence in Osh and believe he will take us to the promised land. Bigblue204, johnzo and Wanna-B-Fanboy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If O'Shea is too stubborn or loyal to do what is necessary then Walters has to step in. If he is not willing it would have to be escalated.

If O'Shea does not have the gonads to do what has to be done if it comes to that, he disqualifies himself as a head coach. Adrenaline_x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in the CFL are driven more by ego (need to win) than by money for the most part. If they see a coach hanging onto a player who cannot compete or a coach, for that matter, that will come out.

USABomberfan Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think we all hope it will not have to come down to that. You certainly would think any more playoff losses in which our offense scores over 30 points yet still loses that he would realize continuing on with a stubborn DC and running a bbdb defense is not the way you're going to get to the cup or win it. But just feels like 4 years is way too long to keep him and I think a lot of people just want to know in some way that change will come with another 1 and done or a failure to make the cup. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firekid Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I believe Richie Hall will retire for medical reasons this off season and Jordan Younger will get a promotion to the DC. When I see Richie walking on the field before the games he is getting to the point where he can hardly walk out there. Or at least it looks like he is some kind of pain. Call me crazy but this is what I think is going to happen. Edited July 11, 2018 by Firekid Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one year left in Hall's contract IIRC, let him finish out his contract as implementing a defensive system after the start of the season is not going to fare any better than continuing with Hall. That seems to be MOS' thing, honoring contracts- it may pay dividends in attracting top tier coaches in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
