Honestly Booch has hated Jake Thomas for years, even when he was a serviceable backup player. Just hates guys with limited athletic ability who succeed anyway. 

I say give Jake a chance in this role and see how he does with it.

 

Sorry for disliking suckage...this is the only place in my varied career where less than adequate is tolerated and the norm

Jake was halfway serviceable maybe 5..6 yrs ago but even then he was bottom teir..we had a decade to upgrade the roster spot...chose not to....not how I roll that's fir sure

This is a terrible statement....  so they hired him because he's a nice guy that people like.       

Is he going to implement his special skill of running forward and dropping to the ground and then getting into the QB's face 3 seconds after the guy tossed the ball?   

 

Guy is more respected than you are.

Think he's a happy camper taking a demotion & pay cut?

There's got to be more to the story of how last year work out in regard to hiring the OC.

Coaching/teaching at the pro level is no easy task. With out question he could provide value as a coach at some level. if that level is pro or not we won’t know. Other wise we’d be loaded with great position coaches, and we aren’t. 

your right, that is pretty rare. Usually, the guys who do make that move spend a couple years filling gaps in front office and coaching staffs till earning spots.

that’s very interesting 

agree with most of that. My concern with hogan is he showed some serious red flags with fairly low to moderate pressure.

Hogan threw his players under the bus a couple of times. A coach needs to fall on his sword for his guys. Not blame them for losing.

Think everything we need to know about Hogan came from Lapo on a broadcast when he said something along the lines of "that's a whiskey bottle play call.... because if it doesn't work everyone in the stands is going to throw a whiskey bottle at you"

It was probably sarcasm.

Cautiously optimistic about Condell, but im guessing he was plan B after Miller took the Argos head coaching job. No idea why you would bring Hogan back in any capacity. Youve gotta figure there’s some animosity/bad vibe’s there with a few players. Pretty stupid decision.

When someone gets promoted in business & fails they're usually fired, Not given their old job back. Nutty decision. If he's that great of a coach then another team will hire him. If note? Well there's always the local high school.
