Dude knows football, he just doesn't know when to go for it and when to play it safe. Down by 2 scores with little time left is the best lapo. Up by 2 scores with half a game left is worst lapo. Can't disagree with any of that. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hurt in 2007 when Doug Berry was the head coach. Yea...wbbfan is still in shock from the 07 loss to the Criders and skipped Buck Pierce being our start in 11. Mike Kelly, in all his wisdom, gave Glenn an apple and a roadmap in '09 at the request of some fans he had been talking to at 7/11.

Agreed, I’ve never seen a play caller consistently fritter away leads like that. As a play caller, he always struck me as sitting on his secrets, not wanting to give anything away on film ever and calling the passing game super conservatively until he didn’t have a choice.

The timing of his firing was bullshit. The team had to go on the road for a month to start the season. Lousy QB room and not much other offensive talent to make up for it. Garbage drafting. I’d say he got a raw deal from that management group. johnzo, Blue-urns, GCJenks and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos was realistically on the ropes twice. I'm glad it worked out, but I don't think he's progressed since those early days. He used to add soo much to our teams, and then our D play call. I miss the days of having the best Teams calls and execution. Not to mention the 200 iq plays they'd fool every one with. The sheer volume of players we've populated the league and NFL camps with is a testament to the strength of the front office. Coaches don't have the same power that they used to back in the day. When a guy like cal or dave would get mad and throw the team back into full padded full contact 2 a days mid season after a bad loss. Or revoke going home on bye weeks and make guys practice. It's not a bad change, it improves players quality of life and longevity a good bit. You just cant lead people they way they used to either. Especially pro athletes. Mos is soo far in the opposite direction he's more like a steward of the team. 1 hour ago, Booch said: 100 percent.....if the timing was switched, and Osh had Lapo's tenure...Lapo had Osh....be a different story...That being said lapo would have had to put in place quality co-ordinators to make things work and let go of the micro managing...Osh had next to no success when he had to hire crap co-ordinators....wasn't until quality ones were in place that the ball started rolling...I will always say a HC is only as good as the staff around him, as they are the guys who create the system the team plays within...HC obvioulsy can have some say and over rule things, but then thats the slippery slope you get on...and trouble brews In all honesty if a HC has the right support...they will be succesful unless they are just a complete moron and dictator who wants to control everything... Soo any one but Kelly, LOL. Accurate though. Coaches in all pro sports have had power reduced by leaps and bounds. Football, especially the NFL has the most, but up here and especially with mos, It's more like the NBA for coaches. 2 hours ago, JohnnyAbonny said: Agreed, I’ve never seen a play caller consistently fritter away leads like that.

Time for some 3 yard screen passes that are soo slow it's a tip toe catch on the sidelines! Or lest hope Harris can catch and run for 12 yards on 2nd down again. The guy could build a brilliant playbook, but was by far the worst play caller of any OC. WildPath and JohnnyAbonny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Lapo is in the mix with people like Jim Daley as a head coach. His play not to lose decision making style results in a lot of 4-14 type seasons. And he's never developed a QB. He needs an O'Shea or Ken Miller to make sure he is aggressive.

I think he had better knowledge and game planning than Daley. But I think Daley was more amenable. Daley might've been the least talented HC we've had in recent memory. Other guys who are worse like kelly did atleast have some talent. Daley always seemed like a guy who lied on his resume and got the job any way, but was too nice to fire. 14 minutes ago, Noeller said: We have really gone through the looking glass here with some borderline "Fire O'Shea!" posts... Jesus. Fire the off season. No more breaks, once the GC ends, we have a week of free agency the draft then go right back into another season!

And that would make me crazy when the Bombers would be up by 20 points at half time and as soon as the second half started, the Bombers would be tossing the 4 yard outs. I could see the whole tenor of the game change as the Bomber offence withered. 17to85, HardCoreBlue, JohnnyAbonny and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Remember Jeff Reinbold? Everybody was a warrior when he spoke about them on the post game. Bob: Jeff, so the DB #25 he got burned pretty bad on that 87 yard TD. Jeff: I need to stop you. #20 is a warrior, they way he got beat badly and hustled to only be 30 yards behind the receiver as the receiver reached the endzone screams warrior.

Goalie Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) Reinbold riding the motorcycle out when they introduced him was a memory. Might be one of the first.

I haven't listened to the Coach's Show in years as I no longer live in Winnipeg but when Bob Irving did The Football Hotline with Jack Matheson. Jack would pull no punches with the problems the team was having. After a loss & the fandom bitching about lost opportunities to score on the field or the secondary being lit up... even questioning coaches calls, they'd get (usually a random middle aged woman) call in & say, "Don't be so hard on the boys. They tried their best so Jack you stop talking badly about them, now. They're our Bombers & we love them!!" I couldn't stand those calls as Irving would just let them rant for a minute then politely say goodnight... Edited June 6 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
