Quote from: markf on October 17, 2026, 08:07:09 PMI predict Jordan Younger will be the defensive coordinator next season.

Nope.  Because he gave up 935 on the ground this week vs EDM when everyone knew they were going to run.  And he'll give up new CFL records on the ground vs BC next week with running Salter and Horvath.  It will be so disgusting that the media and fans will never drop it.

Younger is done because the idea is broken.  Unless he convinces MOS he has a new idea for next year... But when your whole life's work philosophy and paradigm is laid bare as faulty for the whole world to see, I don't see how you can possibly recover.

:o  We'd do better with Hogan as DC  :o  and I'm not even joking   :o
Never go full Johnston!

Easy to do when you've gone to 5 cups and had just one slight-off year.  Now we've had a disaster year where we won't even make the playoffs.  Good luck with retention now!!

Quote from: tlf on October 17, 2026, 06:10:09 PMI don't think it's his style to do that in public/the media.

I wouldn't either. That's not a good practice if you want people to come work for you.

He can throw Younger under the bus.  It's not like he'd be making great revelations if he told the world that Younger's schemes are flawed and suck and cannot possibly work.  So first clear it with KW that Younger is gonzo (board probably already passed the word down anyhow), and just say it after BC gets 435Y on the ground vs us next week.

It would be cathartic for everyone.

Quote from: Pigskin on October 17, 2026, 05:53:15 PMTim White not signed for 2027 $220.00.

Should have nailed White to a 2-3Y mid-season when it was clear he was the best TD guy on the team.

Now his stock has gone way up again he'll be lured away by another team unless we offer him closer to $300k.  He won't want to stay on the sad sack loser team unless he makes bank.

We'd all like him back but I don't know we want to pay another player $300K. We found Singer. If necessary find another rising star on an ELC.
