Logan007 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) If I were to point fingers at anyone, it would be Walters and Co. He has failed to bring in any breakout receiver, International Oline (a good one), any new QB's asside from Bennett, and some big fast D. I already pointed out other issues before, but to me, this is the biggest one. And if Willy isn't the QB we should be using, then it's up to him to get us players who can play.

Good luck with that. I have zero confidence that he can do any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Willy has just gotta hit a few of those big plays. I am still hoping he is just in a slump from getting injured last year and once he hits a few of those big ones he will start to gain his confidence back. I don't really see Nichols as a legitimate option... we pretty much have to hope that Willy figures it out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Miller is obviously musing about both men's futures - but you can be sure he won't be sending any smoke signals to media until he actually pulls the trigger. Silent Joe precedes Icy Joe and eventually you get this guy. Edited July 16, 2016 by Throw Long Bannatyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they fire MOS it'll be either Hall or Lapo getting a chance to coach this team next year and they've both been fired in their head coaching chances already. yes, that did happen in 2013. It was quite the underwhelming GM search Wade Miller did even though he promised he would do his due dilligence which he didn't do when he hired Walters. Then Miller & Walter's even more underwhelming decision to bring in MOS in as HC. Those 3 running the Bombers. #blindleadingtheblindleadingtheblind Edited July 16, 2016 by iso_55 DR.

In the end Walters was a panic hire - the public wouldn't have put up with any more Lyle Bauer, Jim Barker was unavailable, Roy Shivers was long in the tooth, John Murphy was a bit too audacious for the conservative board and Sunderland was just not on the radar. McManus would have been considered but good thing not to hire the guy - appears he's incapable of running a scouting dept., let alone a team.

gcdrought Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 While I think the G.M. and scouting departments are way more important than any head coach, I imagine O'Shea will be gone by mid-season at the latest if we don't chalk up some more wins. Walters will know that the only way to save his job will be a turnaround, so he'll cut O'Shea loose sooner rather than later. I know it's a longshot, but hopefully things can turn around and LaPo won't become our interim HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it is akin to being on the Titanic and upon seeing the iceberg look up to the wheel house and see "Daffy Duck" steering the ship! Or more succinctly trying to figure out which is smarter "Moe Larry or Curley" IC Khari and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
