Who is the incumbent DC?

Let's just assume, and rightfully so, that our defensive secondary gets lit up for 350+ again the next st two games and it's  just clear that nothing's changed in 3 seasons.

Who is available, and who is it that Walters might already be in quiet discussions with to take over after Banjo Bowl?

Are you assuming that Walters is or ought to be the person to fire Hall? The only coach that Walters should have power over is O'Shea and if Walters has to bypass O'Shea, that is bad news for the organization.

Whenever we give up 350....plenty of talk about the good game the D had.

I'd say MOS but his big qualifications before becoming our nearly 5 year head coach was a couple seasons as a special teams coordinator. sigh.

I would assume that Walters is not in "quiet discussions" with anyone, seeing that the head coach hires/fires this coordinators.  Personnel stuff must be a dark art.  So many people have zero clue about how this sort of stuff works.

And remember, O'Shea says he spoon-feeding Hall this year. Has anyone noticed the vast improvement?

The only correct answer. 

If we were to make a change this season, I suspect it would be Jordan Younger as the immediate replacement. I could be wrong, it could be another D staff member. It could be MOS taking a more active role too.

Maybe his spoon has a hole in it? :)

O'Shea should be taking a more active role already.

Or it's a fork.

Mike said in Jan 2018 that he was taking a more active role. So that apparently is not the answer.

luckily for him, nobody was paying attention when he said that.

used up my quota of snarky comments for today, so will just be reading now.

We got a quota now?? Hopefully it is a high number.

Well, the defence has at least one hole in it and the team was forked.

The defense has taken steps forward from last season.  But still not good enough.

 

2017 Passing yards against per game: 321.6, 2017 Rushing yards against per game: 96.7

2018 Passing yards against per game: 286.20, 2018 Rushing yards against per game: 95.1

Against the run we are good no doubt. Does the passing yards against include the last two games?? Just wondering because we got shredded.

This is like saying you improved on a math test by getting 42% instead of 33%.

There absolutely must be changes in the defensive coaching staff after the season. I'd be very happy if we made changes today or tomorrow, but I just don't think it's happening this year.

Yes it includes those games.  This number should improve with back to back against Saskatchewan and then Montreal.

I'm going to quote you on that!! Oh wait, I just did.

If Hall’s situation is so heavily tied to MOS.....where does that leave MOS and his situation?

I had a friend I took a physics course with. after an exam, I told him I thought it was really tough test. He proclaimed that he aced it. 

I ended up getting something like 51, he got,  I kid you not, 11 out of 100. One of the funniest things ever, his face, looking at the results.

😂

If he's a bomber fan, he probably figures we're on the cusp of greatness lol.

( also,is 42 % in maths bad?)

did you happen to go to High School in Redding, California with a guy named Matthew?

maybe blamed the multiple choice questions for not jumping out at him?

In university, there was a guy that I took Biology 1 with, he thought the final would be easy because it was 100% multiple choice. To discourage guessing, the scoring system penalized you with a -1 for an incorrect guess. Only guy I've ever known to end up with a negative % on his exam (-3%).
