Dam straight.

And with our Jets right now, it’s like we have two off seasons going.

Disasterous status for both seasons.

Ironically the jets also got old and slow outside a few players (like 6 or 7 of 18) (line 1 Josh Samberg Elias barron Perfetti really ) the rest are a bit slow with local hero Toews being a huge disaster. Equivalent to us signing Harris then he immediately regresses. Harris didn’t regress. Toews has.

Yeah I know when I click bomber offseason news I’m secretly wanting to read about people’s thoughts on the American penal system and their views on justice…

Oh look, now we're talking Winnipeg Jets in the Bomber off season thread bitching about their losing streak. So, quit whining. Threads get derailed all the time. They usually get back on track on their own.

Ya based on what JBR said, we don't want any part of that guy. I'm not sure who the right candidate is... But sure hope they get this right.

He's a good coach, boy is he a reach for that HC job though. 

I hope we take a long hard look at bourgoin and costanza

If O'Shea didn't think of him first, it ain't gonna happen. Besides, if 2026 unfolds as likely, Khari would be a prime candidate to replace him.

I also heard JBR say to continue to talk about JT until further notice.

I told you offseason is going to be fantastic.

I've got it, Jake Thomas for OC.

I would strongly consider Khari as a QB coach and a guy to help a new CO, like what Hall has done for JY. But I wouldn't go to him directly for an OC. Same role Jackson would play if we keep him imo. 

Best case, you get both Costanza and Bourgoin as an OC/position coach, ast oc and position coach, and then still have a guy like Jackson as qb coach, keep Marty at that point, and you have the offensive staff wrapped up. 

Between the two, I really like costanza as a unique football mind, not another lapo foot soldier. I think Bourgoin is better as a position coach, though, and more turnkey as an OC. I do think Bourgoin was likely much more responsible for the offensive success in BC than people would think, despite him working for Buck. 

 

As far as retreads go, I would consider Lapo in a positional support coach role to a new OC. Despite being an original member of the fire plop train, I think he would do a great job helping a guy develop and coaching a position like WR. Pair Lapo, or jackson, or khari as assistant to OC Costanza, and you are in pretty good hands. It'd really come down to who the OC prefers and what they need.

......So one week today the 26' schedule is released.....I sure hope we get a better shake than last years version .....The spacing of bye weeks was crappy to say the least....there has to be some improvement in that area....

I like Lapo as a broadcaster, I still think with experience and coaching he can really help build our game from that space.

I don't think the space of a positional support coach is big enough to hold his ego and need for control. 🙂

Looks like he will also be the Argos OC and play caller. Lots to take on as a new head coach that wasn't even the OC last year.
