I think it's ridiculous fan nonsense to think Younger has any sort of pressure on him.

All coaches should feel pressure. Ask Jason Hogan.

This is a put up or shut up year for JY in my opinion. He had a great first year and then talented offensive coordinators schemed him up pretty bad last year. He's either going to call an effective defensive in 2026 or there's going to be some very hard questions. You're a big fan. I'm a big fan of results. He's 1 for 2 in that department.

Wonder how secure Younger's job actually is, a repeat of multiple issues seen last season may have many hoping he gets poached by another team as HC.  Of the 3 coordinators Mike Miller did the best job, Hogan got demoted and Younger fell somewhere in between.

Gauthier was a steady depth player that was good against the run.  I'm with Techno, just aged out. I am proud of what he did here.  He added physically when needed.

I wouldn't say that's true.  It's more that he was finally getting way too old for that role (same as Mike Miller was).  Especially when you're competing against 2-4 new DP young bucks every season.

Case in point: Gauthier was the reason for the failure of Patterson's first SY attempt at the GL in the '25 ESF.  He did the ol' Biggie leap over the top of the pile.  Gauthier had enough beef on him to stop it... does Shay or Ball?  Hallett certainly doesn't!

Actually that's a great question: if you need beef, who's becomes our new "beefy NAT LBer" for that role??  Cadwall, I guess?

Gauthier should make a pitch to MTL to be a coach in some way.  They really love their Francophones over there.

Gauthier 218, Cad 216, Shay 225, Smith 227, Novak 225.

Bighill 232, Jones 235, Knox 233, Wilson 227.

I'm rewatching the ESF and it's clear what we need desperately is a DL that can shed blocks in the box and make the tackles on passing carriers.  We were SO bad at that.  And I'm watching MTL in that game, and SSK in the GC, and their best DL effortlessly shed OL and stop the run.

Oh ya, and we really need to have our OL grab/obstruct the DL's more to let Brady actually do something.  Everyone sheds our OL like they don't exist!!  No wonder SSK/MTL went to the GC and we stunk out the ESF.  It's pathetic on both sides of the ball!

Sometimes you gotta shake things up. Gauthier was getting complacent and wasn't getting it done.

Hearing, Wilson will not be suspended for his fight late in the game against France.
