And it's been said over and over again that Jake is one of the smartest guys in the room, especially the Xs and Os... Just because he can't do the thing at the same level anymore doesn't mean he can't teach things. I have high hopes for him... Starting at a lower level assistant coach position is perfect. 

Hogan threw his players under the bus a couple of times. A coach needs to fall on his sword for his guys. Not blame them for losing.

Thank you Hal Anderson
 

2 year extension for Cam Lawson.

Pretty sure they talked about Chris Schultz quite extensively because he passed away between seasons.  They also still talk about him sometimes when they are talking about Purolator Tackle Hunger.

Walter’s who brought us two extremely strong draft classes back to back, a couple great canadian talent trades, and a bumper crop of rookies like vaval, allen, woodbey, and the rookie ends who dominated in their one game. The same who already has us with the next group of high end imp ol in rando, who would’ve been an acclaimed all star on any other play off team maybe gotten nfl looks, and vanterpool who barely played but was our best ol when he did. 
The huge majority of the problem lays at the feet of mos. Walters hasn’t been perfect by any means, but we’ve seen him have the best free agent periods in the league while here when he has money to spend. He’s handed out some over pays for sure. And we’ve lost guys. But the team from top to bottom was in a maintain stage. If we are really in a re tool phase and it sure looks like we are, I wouldn’t pick any other gm in the league to do the job over him.

So the positive news is that we no longer have to suffer through Barker on TSN.

And, as has been mentioned a million times every year, just because we don't know about something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Professionalism means keeping things behind closed doors. No airing of negativity. Tons of decisions could have already been made and just not made public. And I'm more than fine with that. 

Why would anyone have any sympathy, empathy or compassion for a man with the history Chad Kelly has?   The Toronto incident isn't the first documented case of him being a shitty human being.
Mitchell on the other hand doesn't have that same documented history.  On it's surface, it seems like something from out of left field which is why people are willing to give him some grace.  That's not excusing or accepting the behaviour, it's simply acknowledging that humans do stupid things at times whether it's from ignorance, inexperience or stress.   It feels very much like a dude who needs help so comparing Mitchell's situation to Kelly's is ******* absurd.

Yea exactly, oh Mr. Commissioner here's an easy fix to help grow the league ffs. The more professionally prepared people reporting on our game the better.

Personally I enjoyed watching Dressler when he played for us. Doesn’t really bother me if a player comes from the Riders or any other team (we wash the stink off real quick) unless there are huge mitigating factors of said player where they have compromised the values they espouse as a club and as a community.

I don't believe it's that rigid.  Just that he knows if he spends $300,000 on a Z receiver that means one of the slot receivers has to be a rookie kind of thing.  Pretty standard budgeting.

I watched the presser. My takeaways were different from some of what I read on the board. Walters all but admitted it’s time for a rebuild and set the bar high for this year by saying it can be done quickly. No pay cut for Zach, but that’s partly due to how bad the supports were around him, he said. That suggests there will be hard conversations about the OC, receivers and Oline.
He even admitted the Bombers squeaked out some wins despite playing bad football. Only quality wins were over B.C. and Hamilton. That suggests he has his eyes open.
The entire organization under achieved this year, except for maybe  Vaval and Carol in the ticket office.. It sounds like this season stung the people in charge and course correction is ahead. We will see.

I read it more as they haven't talked to the rest of the coaching staff yet and he wasn't going to say someone isn't going to be back without having told them to their face beforehand.
