What does bob dyce know about being an offensive coordinator?? He was a special teams coach before becoming a head coach and he s never had a winning record. Pass on this idea

Quote from: theaardvark on August 12, 2026, 07:41:56 PMBob Dyce was an OC and HC in the league, and spent 6 years here as recievers coach in the aughts.  When he got fired in OTT last year for the teams bad performance, we hired his OC.

Would bringing Dyce back to Winnipeg have been a better idea?  I know Condell has history with Zach, and I'd bet that was 99% of the decision, but looking past ZC8's career, would Dyce have been a better long term fit?

Dyce was hired as an OC once: 2012 with the Riders.

Condell's been an OC for a decade combined (2013-15 with the Ti-Cats, 2018 with the Argos, 2019-23 with the Ti-Cats, 2024-25 with the RedBlacks), and is now is his 11th season in that capacity.

There isn't really a comparison between the two when it comes to experience in the OC role.

And by the logic* you applied with the Bombers hiring Dyce's OC, why would anyone want Dyce as a coach, much less an OC?

* term used very loosely

Sir Blue and Gold

...But Condell doesn't play poker. :D

Agree, he was an OC for one year in 2012. Which was a riders team that was 8-10. I also think MM has done an amazing job with our STs.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

He was a position coach on offence for most of his career.

Most OC's "apprentice" as a position coach.

Yes, he has had success as a STC.

I don't know if he would be a great OC, but he seems to be a good coach in general.

And I have no idea if he plays poker.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.
