Booch Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 25 minutes ago, TrueBlue4ever said: I remember an interview OSH gave with the media after LaPolice was re-hired in 2016. It was noted that he had two former head coaches on his staff now, and didn’t that cause him some concern for his job (especially after the bad 2015 season and more than a few fans calling for his head) that there were two ready replacements to step in easily and take over, as opposed to hiring underlings at co-ordinaries who weren’t a threat to his job security? His comment essentially was that it was the opposite - he wanted the best minds possible and the most experience possible, and the best thing for his job security was to surround himself with the smartest and most competent people around to help him so that the team could be the best it could be, rather than sabotage the team success by hiring lesser people out of some misguided need to protect himself. THAT, he said, was the quickest way to find himself in the unemployment line. He wanted the best collection of ideas working with him and challenging him to being the best product out on the field, and it would be silly to be intimidated by it and try to silence that input and ignore that creativity in the hopes that it would give him a safety net for his job. That's what the best HC's do ..hire best support so they didn't have to worry about anything and do minimal work other than motivate the boys and make the smart decisions come game day ..if a HC has a good staff ..he really does not do a heck of a lot wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 nah, his bluntness would have been refreshing and confident... I have no problem with that.

GCn20 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) So Mace committed to living in Regina, massaged ODay's ego, and then committed to ODays choice of QB...he already sucks as a HC and it's only day 1. Reading between the lines it would seem that Buck was not very enthusiastic about the job, wouldn't move to Regina year round, or wanted a different starting QB. Probably all 3. Good gravy, committing to year round residence in Regina just screams bad decision maker.
