What I was trying to say in my clumsy way was that if the Bombers wanted O'Shea to stay they would of re signed him already but by letting the Argos talk to him at this early stage they wouldn't mind if the Argos offered him a GM/HC role with money that the Bombers would not be inclined to give him.

That would give me Bill Belichick vibes .. great coaches but abysmal personnel guys.

Bombers have routinely said they'll never stand in anyone's way so this permission means nothing other than the bombers continue to do the right thing as an organization....

Not like they had a real choice. His contract is ending so they could delay it temporarily or allow it. It would probably ruffle some feathers if they deny the permission.

Giving the Argos permission to talk to O'Shea maybe signal that the Bombers are okay with him moving on.

I think he is already gone and they're just waiting til after the Grey Cup to announce it.

Shoot up with BPC 157...TB 500...only a week but if just a minor lil twinge could make all the difference Guys use this alot pre/post surgery and for a lot of muscle/lig strains..pulls etc Id be all over that if I was on Als staff...but im not 😆

of course the Billion dollar question is going to be how the hell did Woody get back to Bonnie? seriously you can't say the last one didn't happen because there's the fork and he was a knifey girlfriend now

Osh as a g.m woukd drag us back to the depths of reinbold...Mack...hell to the no

Maybe if we can stop being favored to win in the game day analytics we will curb this three game losing streak. So I hereby put the Canucks as favorites today.

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

AND has under ten fans so that helps.

You have a good point, but veteran and great leader don’t go hand in hand. Big stan for instance, is known to be a pretty quiet guy. Yoshi was the primary leader of the team, offence, and ol. He was a massive culture setter. Sheed as well. Other guys like hansen, kongbo, biggie, and ba were the leaders on and off field. The fact we’ve seen zach soo frustrated with play call, time to relay plays in, wrs, etc as soon as the leaders left says zach is a stoic on field leader type and easy going guy off. but that balance depends on guys who will hold other accountable. Tldr, it takes multiple leaders of various types to make teams work together well. We have guys, but not the right ones in the right places imo.

MOS thinks highly of intangibles. Both he and Dave Ritchie were/are like that. In their eyes, the veteran leadership, been there done that element, is just as important as on field contributions. They have both said this in interviews. My question about this approach over the last couple season, would be this: you're got Collaros, Bryant and Neufeld - shouldn't that be adequate? Why is there this need to start inferior veterans? Also, which one is the bigger factor - philosophy or complacency? Just my 0.02 - I know I won't get any answers.

I do not wish for him to leave but if there is a time it might be now as they are in need of a retool and he has already overseen one but not sure he can do it again.

If Montreal wins, that will mean every season since 2018 the Bombers either won the Cup or was knocked out by the team that won the Cup: 2018 - Calgary 2019, 2021 - Winnipeg 2022-24 lost the Cup 2025 - Mtl?

O'Shea for all his faults is not (entirely) stupid. He has to know that his track record for the past 3 seasons was damning and if he wasn't going to be fired this year,, given his personality, it would be next. There is a saying that if you are at the edge of a cliff, if is better to jump than be pushed- you have a better choice of where you land. I an and have been convinced for some time that O'Shea's time here was done as he had become a liability. I am waffling about Walters. If he was privately dissatisfied with O'Shea and was engaged in a lost-lose-lose power struggle with O'Shea, then perhaps, with O'Shea gone, he can right the ship. My gut says that was likely the case. Nonetheess, if he leaves, clearing the decks might not be a bad idea. Sempre avanti!

Anything to keep him off the firld.

He had a great year but ultimately won 1 more game than the bombers and is in the same place now.

Yes I agree that Oshea's roster management is his worst quality so let's promote him to the job of managing the roster in the offseason too.

Right. It was Pick 39 2nd rd pick. Salo was pick 55 also 2nd rd. Salo played pro last year tho. Believe this is Freijs first pro year.

I’ve seen some quotes from Dinwiddie and I’m not sure if O’Shea wants all that responsibility. It sounds like Dinwiddie did everything from schedules to whatever else. There’s a reason he didn’t give the Argos a chance to match. And RD is a young guy. Osh getting older.

I've come across her name a few times when I've been doing my movie viewing journey this year https://deadline.com/2025/11/sally-kirkland-dead-anna-star-was-84-1236613785/

Like I said I hope we know preferably by grey cup game the latest cuz yeah, just something that needs to be figured out fast.
