Jake Thomas has retired and will now take on the role of DL coach.

Good for Jake.

As with many players, he probably hung on a bit too long, but I have to imagine he's going to be a great coach and it clears the way for guys who can get a bit more pressure from the middle.

Veru intrigued by the decision. He obviously is taking a pay cut from being a player. And he has a life/business on the East Coast.

I guess he's going to see if he can take the MOS / Buck / Mace / Dinwiddie path to a bigger paycheck.

I could see this move coming, MOS favourite becomes coach.

I just hope he can whip this unit into shape and start being an effective unit.

JT is a player thats lasted due to perseverance, attitude,and effort and leadership in blue bomber culture. If he can pass this on its a win

Jordan Younger must be comfortable with this decision as he will be working closely with Jake.

Happy for Jake. He had a good career, and a great Bomber. But you could tell father time had caught up with him last year. Now, can we get Biggie back to coach our LBs.

I never thought he had an expensive contract but also don't know what the coaching position will pay.
