Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? What is this, The Twilight Zone?

Good analogy.

Chris Streveler is lucky he lives in Winnipeg.

How many times does that question have to be asked? It's lame. Let Walters figure it out. That's his job. Not ours. You would prefer 9 years of mediocrity under O'Shea (with a new 3 year deal) with subpar Coordinators who can't adapt or are too stubborn to change or unable to adapt? I mean, look at our first DC.. Gary fricking Etcheverry. Our first OC? Marcel Bellefeuille. We replaced Etcheverry with Hall & Bellefeuille with LaPo. Hardly what I'd call improvements & so it goes under O'Shea. Things don't change until change is actually made. What has O'Shea accomplished as a HC to deserve to be around for 9 seasons?

I just want to make one thing clear. I think Mike O'Shea is a winner & he knows what it takes to win. However, knowing how to win as a player & knowing how to win as a Head Coach are two different things. Player just play. They prepare for their opponent & then go out & do it. Some win championships & some don't. Head Coaches are on the sidelines. They make decisions that affect the outcomes of games. A great player may be a rotten HC while a marginal player or someone who never played pro ball could turn out to be a great HC. You just never know how things turn out. I may be calling for O'Shea to be canned at season's end if we don't win but I have no doubt he is a winner as he proved that as a player. Not as a Head Coach.

Well, you asked. Believe me, I wasn't going off. If I wanted to then you'd have known. So, why be upset with the answer? You're the third person I've seen here who has asked who are we going to get? You said you know of no one else other than Khari Jones & he's doing a bang up job with the Als…. but you're not sold on him. Which makes no sense. What HC is doing a better job right now other than Craig Dickenson? Why would you make such a statement when you admit you have no clue who could be available? It's reasonable to assume based on MOS track record that if he is given a new 3 year contract that he'll bring back one or both of the coordinators who aren't getting the job done. Why would he change? In 6 years he's shown to be stubborn, slow to adapt & loyal to a fault. So, if Walters gives him another 3 years then the risk will be that the same things that happened before & is happening now & will continue to happen. Then it's 9 years of not winning a championship. I'm not prepared to wait any longer. If O'Shea wins a championship this season then fine he can be brought back as he would have earned that right. If he doesn't then his contract should not be renewed. As a Head Coach, he doesn't deserve another 3 years. Just for the sake of familiarity.

Let's keep LaPo & Hall too while we're at it I mean, who are they gonna get? Besides, it's all about rewarding your friends even if they don't do the job they are hired to do. And don't say Tommy Condell who will be Head Coach somewhere else because we kept O'Shea.

I saw that & cringed. The dozen Argo fans watching at home would not be happy. Probably half of them won't be at BMO Field next game. Then we hear Corey Chamblin with his mic on say his team is playing icky at 41-0. Wow.

To me, you don't do it. If after 6 years O'Shea loses in the playoffs how can you bring him back? For another 3 years? You know he won't sign for a lesser term. That is playing with fire with the fanbase.

I can't discuss this anymore this evening. It's time to let it go.

If it was as easy as you seem to be making it out to be replacing players we wouldn't be in this drought. It's not that easy.

And yet it's been 29 years.

**** stability.

So, I guess next home game they get 8,000 instead of 9,000 at BMO.

Damned lucky he got hurt???

Anyone watching the Lions/Argos game? It's 54-0 Lions.

We need help on the OL. We need better receivers. We need secondary help. We need new coordinators.

And what will the O'Shea supporters say if he brings back his entire coaching staff next year after signing a brand new 3 year deal? Cuz I think that is what will happen.

It's more than a better qb & OC. We aren't just one player away.

Yes, we might hire the next Jeff Reinbold as Head Coach & that's the risk but we might also hire the next Bud Grant. It's up to Kyle Walters to get it right when he does.

I think you're overly optimistic. Would you sign MOS to a 3 year deal with the risk he may never win a championship in nearly a decade & have only 1 playoff win go show for? That's a huge risk. The only reason Walters does that is because they are friends & he is looking after his good buddy, After 9 years if there are no results then everyone will get fired. How do you sell another 3 years to the Bomber base? That will be a tough one.

Head Coach Ray Jauch couldn't get the Bombers into the Grey Cup despite having a great team & 3 second place finishes in a row with 10-6, 11-5 & 11-5 records in 1980, 81 & 82. He left. Within TWO SEASONS we won the 1984 Grey Cup with HC Cal Murphy. You don't sit still after 5 seasons. Something's gotta give.

That would be... bad. I don't think the team would do that.

Will you please, please, please stop with this Trinity stuff like they're some kind of religious deities? O'Shea is just over .500 as a HC & he's won no championships. Only has won 1 playoff game. We're as close to winning a Grey cup as we were in 2016. O'Shea is replaceable. He's had his chance.

All things being equal, it comes down to LaPo's offense & playcalling. Put Nichols in a Tommy Condell offense with those Ti Cat receivers & he easily has a thousand more yards passing. Same with Streveler. He'd actually get some qb coaching & probably would be a lot better. Our qbs are stuck in a slow, ponderous & unimaginative offense with an OC who sucks the life out of every player.
