I could 100% see Osh going home and taking both Zach and Brady with him... Tho Zach is under contract so it'd have to be some kinda trade.

I imagine Walters will be gone soon. And I want to see O'Shea gone too. He's arrogant and stubborn. Terrible in-game management. Who would replace him? No idea ... hopefully not Jarious Jackson who sucks as HC. Why not take a shot at replacing Hogan with Collaros? It seems clear that he and Hogan did not get along. Who is more to blame for the sputtering 3 step drop no rollout offence? Take your pick. But it would be a mistake to let Collaros on the field as the starter again. So let's have competition at QB - develop the prospects - Wilson, Artopoeus and maybe Taylor Elgersma behind an off-season CFL journeyman like Taylor Powell who looks like a free agent in Hammy? If Oliveira wants to leave for the money, fine. I bet he stays. Especially if Bombers spend like hell this off-season on better FA vets, and younger prospects on both the O-line and D-line. Bombers looked especially weak in pass pro and discomboblulated run blocking. And we had no pressure on opposing QBs - all season long and going back to 2024. Success starts and ends in the trenches.

Yeah, I mean, Etch had some pretty good years. I think his combination of age/health left him in a poor position to try and rebuild a team and get that crazy D of his working. Pretty disconnected from league trends too. Ugh, Hogan was the biggest reach. Maciocia had a similar leap, but he did much more time in the pros before going up to OC. I respect the balls of that guy and how he got into pro football with the als as well.

Maybe Collaros knows more that has let on with his I have options comment

Kudos to ott for not sitting waiting and getting their 2026 rolling...take note Miller before we relegated to settling...again

This makes the QB situation in the east even more interesting. Dinwiddie was tight with Arbuckle. I can't imagine he will want to bring him or the pest to Ott when they have brown. (Boy brown and Dinwiddie could be a deadly combo) And Idk if Arbuckle wants to go back to ott lol. The replacement in Toronto might choose the pest over Arbuckle. That is, of course, if Mos doesn't go and take Zach back to the market nearest his home LOL

Not sure about him as a GM but Dinwiddie is an excellent coach. Would have loved to have him as our coach.

At least Etch had experience at pro level and some varying degree of success Hogan..zero...his main asset was mental health coach to BO...thats it Yeah...just promoted up from previous season..prob all aligning with the others...so unless reupped he best be gone like a fart in the wind

Yeah...why couldn't we have dangled that carrot Ott got exponentially better in one swift move We could have done the same...He plays best players...plays no favorites...will pull a guy mid game..heck mid drive Schooled us in 2 cups Damn...but good job ottawa Yup...and a HC with a track record...back up the truck...please Dinwiddie has a good hand in recruitment and lotsa connections...wayyyy more than osh and walters combined

With the restrictive nature of the front office cap, I think this is more of the future. AGM/Senior DPP assisting with in-season stuff and letting the coach run more of the team. I think ott has a lot of good pieces already, if Dinwiddie pilfers the argos like usually happens they should be in real good shape next year.

I think Mos has been working off a 1-year for a bit, though. It certainly isn't optimal if you need to change your HC/coaching staff. But if you don't even factor that in, it lets you adjust the HC pay around the coaching staffs each year.

Dinwiddie is a hell of a coach. As a GM, who knows? The talent pipeline coming in to Ott isn't anywhere near what it was in TO. How he does will depend a lot on which of the scouting team comes with him.

To me it would be weird if any of the coordinators had contracts longer than the head coach but what do I know

If Toronto is looking for a replacement I know a real up-and-coming offensive co-ordinator that might fit.

That is possible, I don't think the term was ever announced.

Hogan contract could very well be expiring and that's the end of that.

Crazy indeed. I was just opining that we would offer him a similar role... I still can't believe the Argos messed up that badly. Their problems didn't occur because of Dinwiddie. Pinball kind a seems like a coach killer... I wonder if toronto makes the same offer to Mos, boy this off season could be real interesting. Right? They already have some of his old buddies too in Eiben, Marshall, and costanza.

Pinball will give Osh a blank cheque... Curious to see if he takes it.

Whew..... Ottawa hires Dinwiddie as HC and GM. Wow... Osh to Toronto?? Crazy times.....

How many Cos have the mafia canned? Hall stepped into a lower role for JY. Lapo left for a HC gig. Bellefeuille had his contract expire. Paul Boudreau had his deal expire with no extension offered. That one was more public, we aren't bringing you back. Then we canned Gary Etcheverry between seasons while under contract. Wow, that is depressing. Hogan is every bit as bad as Etch was here. He 100% deserves the axe. Boy, I can not fathom trying to run it back with Hogan...

if you read between the lines...aprt of what BO is saying about re-signing here is dependant on whats around him .....and he talking other offensive talent be it on the line....reciever and most importantly who is gonna create the offence.....and rightfully so What player on either side of the ball would wanna re-up here, let alone sign here fresh with the knowing they likely to be playing with...or behind garbage, and garbage coaching....I'll tell you....none...zero...careers are short enough as it is and the window to win even shorter which is the main goal of any player Guys who will tho...The JT's....Kolo's....the aged out guys with zero future who can still play a bit...but not at elite levels...and prob nowhere else, and offer zero upside...thats who...kinda what we have littered our roster with the last 3 ..4 yrs and the end results spoke for themselves....

I believe it was a recent Free Press article.

Curious what you're basing him wanting Hogan back on

I hope I am wrong on both counts, but it looks like O'Shea will be back and he apparently wants Hogan back. FOURLETTERWORD!
