4-7 in the month of November. There is something glaringly wrong with this team.

Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:41:23 AMBut it stands to reason.  Assume he's as clueless an OC as everyone here seems to think.  Assume he couldn't draw up a play to save his life.  Wouldn't someone like that be thrilled to accept ideas & advice from everyone?  Especially when he explicitly says that's what he's doing?

Does it? I don't think Hogan is clueless as a coach but I think it's more than fair to say he was in way over his as OC. I doubt he has all the tools in his toolbox to be a competent in that role at this time, and I think that's evidenced by how consistently inept the offense was last season. There also seemed to be a lack of adjustments or changes made to address the deficiencies and issues during the season. It's a big jump from position coach to OC; the latter requires a ton of knowledge.

From what I can tell, there was a glaring lack of cohesiveness with the offense this past season - with everyone involved. I have to wonder if that's what led to Collaros and Oliveira expressing their frustration during the season.

It's just very strange how it all played out. To be clear, I don't think it's all on Hogan. The Mafia gambling on a rookie OC during a GC-hosting campaign was pretty disastrous. All three of them are accountable for that miscalculation, IMO.

As for Jackson, he was brought in to help but then he missed TC. I also never got the impression that he had much involvement or input in the overall offensive system; perhaps that was a byproduct of his missing TC. Maybe I'm completely wrong in that regard but he seemed like a bystander more than anything.

Oh, that's a relief. At least the powers that be are taking this existential threat seriously by addressing real issues.

Quote from: gobombersgo on November 26, 2025, 10:10:11 PMThis was one of my favourite comebacks.

We didn't leave early, but we did walk around the stadium to meet up with some buddies thinking the game was over.


I think about this often as well. That was the beginning of the end of Printers.

Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:19:51 AMWe do.  WPG has had a SY specialist for the entire Mafia tenure.  It's part of our M.O.  And teams with a specialist who is good tend to do better.  See: SSK with their unstoppable freight train.

If Strev is out half/all year and/or not re-signed then bringing in a Strev clone (but younger and with a good knee) is just what the doctor ordered.  Hopefully we can turn him into a legit SY super fast -- don't want failures on 3rd & 1 early in the season.

It might be a clean sweep of the QB room-not-named-Zach this season.  And I would be ok with that.

P.S. No way we roll without a SY guy, and no reason anyone ever should because the 3rd dressed QB is a "free/forced dress".  Why waste/risk that job on a RB, or your starting QB, or some other player?  Those guys have more important things to be doing.

That's not the point. The point is that we don't need our # 2 QB to be the SY player. We need to find a # 2 QB with an actual chance to become a starter in the future, not a place holder.

At the moment that would be Wilson. What we don't know is whether he will win the spot as # 2.  I don't think that is the case and he may not even make the roster in 2026.

He needs some professional help and I hope he / his family finds that for him.

Bye Bye Dillon.
