I agree with your first line there. Those 3 coaches should definitely be brought back. Everyone else...time to go.Blitz wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 1:31 pmWe need to clean house with our coaching staff. The only ones deserving of returning are Melvin, Tormey and Reinebold.
Jarious Jackson also needs to go if he is going to be stuck with our RPO offence and he is stuck. The only way he should stay is if we bring in a new HC with a background on offence and he can get Jarious out of his doctrinaire offensive religion,
As for Reilly or someone else at quarterback, don't forget Reilly's stats were about the same as Jennings and Lulay's stats this season when Reilly played in McAdoo's offence when McAdoo was OC in Edmonton.
Reilly only emerged as a top flight quarterback once RPO ended in Edmton as McAdoo went to Regina to continue on with his mediocre scheme in Riderland.
We need to make a big play for Mike Reilly or Bo Levi Mitchell. I expect BLM will get interest from the NFL though, and given Reilly's history here and history with Hervey that's probably more likely.
I'd also be okay with Lulay coming in as a QB coach. As a player he looks done, but he has the attitude and leadership to make for a decent coach I would think. Same with Solly. Though he has more juice left in the tank if he wants to keep going, I think he could make for a good coach as well.
I also think we'll see a whole new Lions team next year. Lulay and Jennings will be gone. JJ24 and Rainey will be gone. I could see The Manny Show being cancelled due to his injury. Solly likely gone as a player. Wouldn't surprise me if Odell Willis is gone due to age. Not sure about Lemon. Olafioye probably gone as Knevel should be able to fill in for him adequately. Husband probably replaced by Pierson who looked very good at C.
Regardless of what happened today, interesting times are ahead.
