Plenty of anecdotal evidence he doesn't handle the exit door very well, I don't think he's qualified for his job.

Oh. Well, that settles it, then.

He's been with the organization for nearly 20 years. Seems like he's doing something right with that amount of tenure.

Started as a ball boy?

If Ceresna is healthy, his leadership and skills will prove to be what puts the Bombers back to the Grey Cup.

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!

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.

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 defense 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.

With the recent acquisition and of FA talent, expectations are running a little higher this year vs last. That said, BC has upped their defense with Sankey, so they ll be tough, riders got poached this off season so they ll be a bit weaker but still formidable as will Calgary but we should be top 2 in the west
