January 13, 201610 yr The heading needs a ?. Arash Madani @ArashMadani 26m26 minutes ago Wouldn't be a shock if Blue Bombers OL coach Bob Wylie joins Hue Jackson's staff in Cleveland. Wylie was Jackson's OL coach in Oakland.
January 13, 201610 yr Just Madani being Madani. He's gonna Madani occasionally. I'm at the point where what madani says, I don't believe will happen.
January 13, 201610 yr Would make sense though. The Browns are the NFL equivalent of the Bombers, are they not?
January 13, 201610 yr This isn't even a rumor as the thread title suggests. Just Madani thinking out loud and offering his opinion. Absolutely no basis to it at all.
January 13, 201610 yr Author Was going to change after reading it again but have not figured out title change
January 13, 201610 yr Wouldnt a coach going (back in this case) to the nfl need results to warrant the move? Or is this just knowing the right ppl? Our olines been some kinda awful last few years

Our olines been some kinda awful last few years Wylie has a long long track record, if he couldn't get results in Winnipeg it's because either the OC didn't allow the OL to shine or the talent simply wasn't there.
January 13, 201610 yr So this MB fellow had the altered state King Midas touch where everything he touched turned to biological waste material. Pretty messy.
January 13, 201610 yr Coaches come & coaches go. Wish Wylie all the best if he does. In Cleveland, he'll be paid in US funds so as an American it makes financial sense.
January 13, 201610 yr Good for him, if true... but it seems more like Arash was just thinking out loud...

January 16, 201610 yr everyone loved to dump on DelManaco when he coached the o line here and he seems to have survived and proven himself in Calgary even with an injury riddled season. So perhaps like Wylie coaching wasn't the real issue. Bad players and or bad schemes were perhaps more of a factor for both of them in Winnioeg.

One thing that I thought would benefit the Bombers having Wylie on staff is that with all of his experience and US football connections he would be a reliable conduit for bringing in Import O-linemen when needed. No evidence that ever happened. I know the O-line performed poorly, just not sure who deserves most of the blame for that.
January 17, 201610 yr Clearly wiley isnt the problem in winnipeg. People all over, both sides of the border know how good he is. Injuries, some guys who are done like picard, and some mediocore young guys isnt much to work with. Obviously a few guys like chung bryant etc have been good. But 1 or 2 holes is all it takes to sink an OL. I wonder how much he has to do with our drafting of young OL
