JCon

I thought they wanted Vesa to stay last year with the Moose?

Yeah, Bauming is messed up. The Bombers extended him last off-season, adding two years. He still had another year left. Source: https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/01/23/bombers-extend-contract-defensive-back-anthony-gaitor/

The smart move.

How many contracts do we have? And, I think some of the d are coming back now.

No one wants Petan.

I could probably make a an equally strong case for KJ. I think that there are probably three deserving coaches for the award.

There's another piece of garbage that I hope disappears soon too.

If Gaitor didn't want to do what Coach asked of him, that's his decision. His life, his choice. But, if you're questioning why he's no longer with the team, why they cut him, after he wouldn't do what was asked, then that's crazy!

And, yet, you will judge everyone else.

You would have cut our starting long snapper in order to keep Lalama on the roster? Okay....

Yes, lets look at Lalama... 25 defensive tackles over 11 games with Montreal. 10 of those in the last game vs Ottawa. So, which player would you have cut to make room for him?

Some people: MOS is too loyal. Won't make changes. Same people: MOS is a problem because he asks players to do something different.

You don't know this. You're making this up. MOS said he ask to switch roles. He wouldn't. There's the door and good riddance. Why on EARTH would any fan want Gaitor on the team he won't do what the coach has asked?

No, of course not. This is about the regular season, which is why the nominees are out.

Steinauer is rookie HC. Yes, the TiCats were expected to do well, with Masoli as their QB, but they exceeded even that. They set a new team record. They went unbeaten at home. KJ is great story, bravo, but Orlondo is was the best coach this year. The TiCats went 15-3. Over the past 20 years only the Stamps (x2) and Montreal (x1) have won 15 games in a year.

Oh, Trump will be gone but his legacy will live on for generations. Think of all the judges they've put into place? All the diplomatic screw ups and relationships ruined? Think of the horrible state of NATO now? Think of the young Kurds who see the US as traitors and cowards? Think of all the environmental protections that have been eliminated? Think of all the debt he's accumulated? Etc, etc, etc. For the US, this is just the beginning.

He signed a three year deal in 2017. Regardless, when they fired him, his salary still counted against the cap. As I understand it, they're able to spread that out over 5 years. So, $600k *2 years (2018 & 2019) = $1.2M /5 = $240k/year against the cap.

I'm not sure what they'll do. They're still paying Trestman and that's counting against their salary cap, so, I think they'll stay put. Unless MOS becomes available, which I doubt.

I'm not sure why anyone would want a player around who won't do what the coach tells them to do.

For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here. Those teams currently lost in the wilderness: Ottawa Toronto BC Montreal Calgary Edmonton Saskatchewan Hamilton The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg* *Grey Cup Champions

Yes, I've heard this before but haven't seen much production out of those "very good" players elsewhere.

I would prefer listening to Mike O'Shea (3:19): https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/11/07/coach-oshea-november-7-2/ Bauming: I asked you about Anthony Gaitor a month ago and you told me he would need some time. Can you update us? MOS: Yep, I switched his roles and he decided to move on. Bauming: Could you clarify? MOS: I gave him a different role and he decided not to accept it. Bauming: So is he still with the team? MOS: Nope

And Bauming is clutching his pearls asking, "Won't someone think of the European children?"

And, our fate seems to be tied to the Riders. There's just too many perfect storylines that would meet up next in Regina next weekend. (I don't really believe in fate but it makes me feel good)
