Bluebomber OC position discussion

[Blue72]

So if this is true does Brody have anything to do with the OC change a bit?

[RebusRankin]

I'm glad we're looking to improve the OC position.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I'm sure Hogan was told that he won't be back. Unlike waiting around for months last year we seem to be doing something about it early now.

Good sign.

[tlf]

The brass are listening to fans and/or players.  This is good news. Or perhaps Osh just saw how bad it really was.  Either way, I'm glad it's happening.  I will get my hopes up when someone is signed though.  Since Condell has worked with ZC8 before, that may be the way to go.

What a totally CFL thing to happen.

Our OC and STC both named Mike Miller?

Will one have to change his name, like Ottawa had to when we had two Rough Riders?

Farhan reporting that Tommy Condell is in the mix for the OC position

Uh, didn't we all learn our lesson about not trusting the pundits?  Remember how they swore MOS was gonzo to TOR?

Oh ya, hard pass on Condell -- the dual GC loser of '19 and '21.  He might get you to the cup, but he'll choke in the big game.

And when '19 and '21 cups had Mike Jones covering Mike Jones?

The moral of the story: DON'T NAME YOUR KIDS MIKE!  Voila, problem solved.

There were 2 Greg Marshall's coaching in the CFL. One (dlineman ) is currently with the Argos, the other  (running back) is HC of the Western Mustangs.

our head coach has "choked" in the big game as well.

i would prefer Miller to Condell but that is just me

That 21 game was as close as you can get. I don't blame Condell for a "choke". An inch here or there was the difference. It was our defense at it's best and we got all we could handle that day.

Yikes... With a pretty questionable take like this, it makes me wonder what you think about Buck Pierce.

[peg_city]

Hope so. Wasn't Miller a special teams guy in Winnipeg after he retired as a player.

Yeah, weird choice as QC, if they choose him. Kind of makes no sense.

[blue_gold_84]

Yeah, weird choice as QC, if they choose him. Kind of makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense when you realize it's this Mike Miller and not this Mike Miller. Two different individuals.

Absolutely do not trust opinions or predictions. They come from a very biased place that inherently does not believe in the CFL.

But they do have league contacts. So when they report that something has already happened, like a team giving permission to speak to a coach, it's pretty trustworthy.

On Condell and Miller:

If we've talked to both, the smart money might be on Condell. Part of the problem this year was going with inexperience. You combine the fact the Condell's done it before along with the fact that he is Zach's favourite person in the CFL, and there might be too strong a connection to ignore.

[blue_gold_84]

Worth noting both Condell and Collaros were with the Ti-Cats in 2014 and 2015. That familiarity could be helpful.
