Tommy Condell to be the next Bombers OC

[theaardvark]

Dinwiddie provides veteran RB players the hope of turning the program around which Condell or Dyce were unable to do.  Why would a player want to pack up their life and change everything they know just to follow a nomadic football coach that may not have the power to convince his HC to make any personnel changes? The door isn't wide open when you enter O'Shea's locker room, some positions were set in stone well before Condell was hired.

Yeah, Wilson, Demski, Oliviera and Collaros are givens... that's 1/3 of the lineup Condell has no say in

Could be a few ex-Argo players that shared bad blood with Dinwiddie and want nothing to do with him like Adarius Pickett, but if headed towards FA, they're free to choose their own destination.

Caption should read, "nice guy, says nothing", listening to him is like having the wind blow through your ears, can't recall a word he said 2 minutes later.

Did Condell at 2:22 say Zach has "diminished arm strength"?  That's the first time I've seen WFC acknowledge this fact.  Not sure he's supposed to say that...

I had to listen to it a handful of times, but I think he said he doesn't see that.

He literally says he "doesn't see diminished arm strength", if that's what you're counting as acknowledgement.

Co-ordinators and position coaches work at the whim of an HC.

When an HC gets ousted, its off to a new gig for everyone below.

You don't have to be a bad co-ordinator or position coach, if you are on a bad team, have a bad HC or have bad co-horts resulting in a bad result.

Bob Wylie has been on a lot of teams, and been very successful as an Oline coach at almost every stop.  Yes, a nomadic life, but many actually like being nomads.  New challenges, new scenery.

I wasn't suggesting Condell is  a bad coach, in fact if Collaros thinks he's a good coach, that's good enough for me.

I was just surprised at how often some of these coaches uproot and move. Tough life for the family.

It Makes the military life seem sedentary.

I listen to Rich Gannon on Sirius xm. The other day, with NFL coach firings being discussed, He was talking about the difficulty of the coaching life for assistants and other staff.

Off topic, but Rich is a very good listen....

Listen again.  You're not taking into account the entire run-on sentence and what he's trying to get out.  It's ambiguous at best and can be taken either way:

"I don't see his diminishment of arm strength I don't see it as a diminish of of talent and be able to move the pocket"

To me he may have been trying to say:

I don't see his diminished arm strength as a sign of diminished talent and being able to move the pocket

Because the "it" is referring to the prior subject of "diminished arm stength".

Besides, the whole world knows by watching film that Zach's "effortless" range is 45Y, 50Y if he gives it welly, and 55Y if he goes all in and likely gets a sore muscle for his trouble.

Compare that to Evans, who Condell had in HAM, who could chuck it 60 with a tiny flick.

You wouldn't want Condell coming in blind thinking Zach can chuck it like Evans could and planning around 65Y bombs.  Surely Zach and MOS and Hogan told Condell what the reality is.  Or Condell just watched Zach play against him the last 2 seasons...
