I’m kinda eh about it. Some of the same reasons his old school was not too upset about him leaving are the same things that frustrated us this year.
I’m OK with it I guess if we can keep our OL recruits and replace him with someone decent and not just do a staff reshuffle.
...and so it begins. Maybe has was told to look elsewhere. Our O-line was inconsistent the whole time he was here, and one injury sent them on a down turn every year.
I thought everyone was on board with a wholesale staff change? Now people are bitching about staff leaving? I'll admit, I'm kinda lost on this whole deal, but is this a coach that has been moved around to different positions? I don't know... Someone, please explain!
It’s not a cryptic message. It’s me disagreeing with the idea that Thomsen was told to look around and we’re about to hire a new OC. I came up with that all on my own.
Thomson was pretty low on my list of coaches I wanted gone. Id start with the guys who have been here longest.
You're really de-valuing my decoder rings when you immediately come in and explain yourself like this.
This is how I feel as well. I don't know for certain how much of the terrible o-line play is directly attributed to Thomsen but at the very least it seems like he's been something less than great.
I remember when he was hired, there was a lot of chatter on this board of how great of an o-line coach he was and how significant of a hire this is was.
