Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
Booch replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He should have been rostered in lieu of Ball or some other irrelevant bottom Canadian and repped in at times...if for nothing to get a guage on him Like his tenacity and size and his technique is real good being a raw rookie -

Average fan that just looks at record..2 cup wins pretty much half decade ago...read the media slobbering but don't connect dots to the 4 straight failing yrs...and common theme as to why and what real issues are for sure will think hes da bomb...hence that sentiment...every good coach and situstion runs its course...that's why u don't see lifetime coaches in one spot...we ran a good 4 yr course bookended by 1 poor course that almost ended early....to one now that was cratering due to no reason other than self sabotage by a stubborn guy who can't seem to evolve further...it definitely time and he will be looked at in bomber history as one of the greats..but also flawed leading to his end -

If he'd come...be excellent choice...if he didnt get poached early he'd have had multiple cups..and prob coached well into the 10 yr range Guy was an excellent manager of a team..dealing with players..and on top of it all crazy smart positional coach/coordinator Even when he was HC at that time we only had minimal coaches so was heavily involved as DC along with HC Prior to that top notch DB coach...but dare to dream Any g.m dictating roster during season or arbitrarily cutting guys over the coach is Glieberman territory and dysfunction at its highest degree Once camp opens...its all HC on who stays...who goes...who plays..and how much...period...end...no deviation... We will continue the slide...and some players we don't want to leave.. Will leave and several that should have been gone for a few seasons now...will be back...basically -

Maybe that's one of his "options" If he to get a big raise then better be elsewhere...he already in Bang for buck range where he hampers lineup elsewhere Don't get me wrong hes a great player and the heart of the team...but also at a position where if u know how to scout can get same production at a third of the cost. Beat me to it...if he wants more...we are a better team moving on...sentiment and all aside...be crippling...especially if we still paying ZC -

Yup..always wrong....much like your drivel...continue lol Just cause you don't know me, don't let it get you down...others do...but also I don't need them or want them to vouch...your justvthe classic internet poster who peaked in high-school but still likes to live there leading your gaggle...u do u.. And cause I won't offer u names doesn't make it not true...I have to others in PM and had it validated...maybe some will tell u so but I don't require or need them too...its also about trust...and u have none and I can't trust u currently to divulge anything as far as I could throw you...and pretty sure I could toss u a fair distance too...why would I offer any tidbit to you ...someone who attacks..accuses...shoots off his cockhole incessantly...earn it...and u might get it -

Could have landed Flo as well..amoung others...even guys like Godber could have been had in FA which would have made us significantly better...but when HC tbinks otherwise and got too much sway.....well.....deals can be made but when your HC says we good...and you trust him to a fault...well u get our roster And the G.M should trust the HC he chose...and shouldn't meddle into things...but there comes a point when they have to start exercising their g.m role as the boss too...but we didn't here...result of too much buddy buddy crap here ...possible but it needed to change this offseason ...last offseadon really but we dragged ass on several levels and were lucky to make playoffs if not for the cross over...I am a fan of the team and defend a lot...players and coaching...but we were a flawed smoke and mirrors team 2 yrs running..and the smoke finally took over -

But if given total control basically...he'd have no pushback to deal with He was given too much here..and killed us and created rifts with his room and with scouting...There a reason Penn left here...why work your butt off all offseason for nothing...Ted offered him similar role and off he went -

We need 2 legit new bodies...or 1 if Wallace progresses which i sure he will We in good shape with Vpool and Randolph as future and to be honest a transition year with Vpool..Bryant...Eli if he gets the shot...or anyone but Kolo...Best of Neuf/Wallace...Randolph Bryant i think is more than serviceable at guard as we transition and be invaluable to Vpool and the center...and is damn good insurance in pinch if a tackle goes down We def tho need to grab a top notch olineman in FA regardless of position as have missed out on several good guys lately as we let our line erode..and guys walk -

and I would have hoped so coming off a knee rebuild and likely not to be ready for season....and then we pushed his return when it was obvious he wasnt ready...then he got rehurt and we continued to play him...and well we all seen how that panned out...possible ended his career...best case scenario is he maybe ready for end of 2026 seaso, but even then the smart move is to sit it all out and come backk for 2027...We may have seen last of Schoen here and yes we agree on this...We could have...we chose not to, or allocated dumb money to dumb incumbamts and priced ourselves out...That is one of Walter's blunders in this debacle of a season -

Randolph is a perennial All-star in the making...prob already there Nothing wrong with Neuf's play, and he is a solid vet as he can play multiple roles Jefferson I think needs to realize that he not top dollar money now....or has to show he is and needs to come back on a more team friendly deal....I not opposed to him back and in no way think he u=is in physical decline whatsoever...used right...and in the right role with the right support cast...this is the key part would be very valuable net positive...cause if Osh goes he may take lot of our garbage off our hands I dont see any of those guys wanting to follow Osh...From what I know...much to the foot stomping of @GCn20 who thinks this info comes from someone at Snap Fitness....those 3 are a big part of some the core who were not happy with things and how they evolved...Expunging Osh likely a factor in all 3 staying...not leaving -

sorry that you cant grasp I have player relations outside the norm and you just act like a petulant child about it...and going off some "media" sound bite or speculation...is prob the lamest way to interpret "inside" the room or player thoughts...but just be you....Yiu the man and are never wrong.... correct....No G.M worth a used jock will want to walk into a organization where he is forced a staff upon him...85 to 95% of time a G.M is etained and a HC change occurs...less upheaval organization wise and easiest to correct....if the following yr same issues occur...then he is gone...If both arent canned it is usually always the HC...and or Co-Ords first...well in well ran organizations...and we can all agree we have become the benchmark in well ran....up until recent, but is it a HC issue...or overall?...the smart money says it's HC and this is the time to move....if we re-up and he still coaches like a stubborn brain dead guy looking at 2019...then we just handcuff ourselves further into the wandering in the drakness on the hook for his salary and killing our coaching cap you have to remember...GCn20 is either Osh's mom...Wife...whoever....but he will fall on the knife of Osh is da bomb and it;s everything and everyone elses fault...even tho Osh picks the roster...chooses who dresses and gets major reps, and refuses to use beneficial rules...chooses to play injured guys....uses excessive Canadians when not needed, and when they not better than an import... well kinda...Walters has no say or input on the game day roster...plan....etc...basically anything really once camp breaks....and that's what you want....A meddling G.M is a disfunctional organization...That being said tho...should he have maybe had a few "discussions"?? hell ya, because Osh has basically driven the team right into the dirt -

Stay...or go...we be fine...and there are a lot of good younger up and comers in the league...joe fan tho isnt acutely aware of tho What was Osh when we signed him..a name as a player...as a couch.. pretty much zero experience...was given a st coordinator role but had zero positional coaching experience or any other for that matter...most will agree that turned out well...started bad..almost ended before the good occurred.. and is reverting to bad..stale..redundant...and that's what happens...especially after 12 seasons..and easily predictable...Ossh showed he was stubborn...bordered on arrogant and at times oblivious to the team... He valued some things over talent...but unlike Ritchie who had a similar trait..albeit more vet over whatever it was Osh sees but Coach Ritchie also valued talent...and had the x and o acumen to facilitate things...Osh lacks that and history shows us without top notch coordinator around him..hes a bit of a dud with his bad traits compound it Miller is a smart guy and knows what kind of guy to hire..Inhave no worries..If Osh wants to poach a coach have at er..some need to go..the ones that need to stay...they will stay..u can bet on it...we don't need a house clean..Just a few key spots need to be expunged... I heard a few interesting things the other day...if i able to substantiate it I will share Yeah in several instances we kept the wrong vets...and valued others where that should have went to some who walked
