Considering his playing career & his time as president...is Wade Miller the greatest Blue Bomber of all time? I think there's a legit argument. His impact on the field is....something that leaves you wanting more, sure...but has anyone had a bigger impact to this club off the field?

Well the full stop has been brought out. Nothing more to be said here.
HardCoreBlue is right about everything. Full stop.

sadly...I doubt he will.....again....and be our demise...Walter's so far has literally set him up with a no fail plan, but If there a way...I sure Osh will mess it up...TBD....And I say that as history has shown us that...over and over

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Mike O'shea. Head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

That's fair. He was also a part of one of the worst defenses in the league. 3 years ago this is a solid signing. History tells us that Wilson will not be a special teamer and that the two LBs they drafted will be kept at the bottom of the depth chart....at least that's what I'm worried about.

Really going to miss Schoen on the Bombers, it was a treat getting to watch him play when he was fully healthy.   Always going to be a big what if.   If he could have stayed healthy I think he could have turned into one of the greats. Dumb decisions to play him injured, and man the guy took a pounding after the catch on some less than stellar passes.

Coach sure. Player, no thanks.

I for one,wouldnt mind Strevy back ,in some capacity. 

He may very well be a shitty coach too. There's always a flip side. He never earned that position. He was given it. 
I guess I'm tired of the entitlement this team has for Osh favourites. I'd have preferred Thomas go coach junior or CIS & gain experience. Maybe move up to DC & then come back to the CFL in 5-7 years

For me, it's nothing personal against Jake The Person. I know that he's is a nice guy. I'd probably like him if I ever met him.
Unfortunately, it has everything to do with Jake The Player & now Jake The Coach. Thomas was given the starting DT position for years much to the detriment of the team. Starting Thomas blocked development for younger guys who needed to play.. When he did play, it usually was sub standard & not up to the level we needed. 
Now he's been given the DL coaching position by the same head coach who has been gifting him everything for years. Hard not to see the entitlement. That's on Osh for creating that stigma. 
 

For what our dline coach has to do really I guess he will be fine...With vets like Lawson..WJ and hopefully a Ceresna they dont need Thomas' tutelage..as there is nothing he could offer them...and any young guy can get things passed on by them too
The x and o part will come from Younger anyway...and some from Stanley...Thomas will add nothing there...it was essentially a mercy hire that won't make or break our season...was still dumb tho...and a slap in face of any up an coming coach in the CIS ranks or NCAA who has been putting in the work

Unless O'Shea has had an on-the-road-to-Damascus epiphany, he is most likely to play non-pets in minor and/or losing situations so as to try to discredit them, then do an I-toldyaso riff. All passive-aggressive stuff.
For some reasom, you are confusing a realistic assessment of Thomas as ineffective and an obatacke to developing younger, better players. with hatred for him. So far as I am aware, he has not eaten any puppies or beaten up any orphans, but am willing to be proven wrong in that regard.

I really think a proper OL is going to make a world of difference for ZC...

MOS says its a downgrade but he'll learn to live with it.

No idea who that is. I guess that'd be why I'm a football fan first.

He was better/adequate but not worth having him around over Castillo.

Honestly having Streveler here on IR and basically interning as a coach would be a pretty smart move.  Kind of thing an organization with cash to leverage should be doing.

Why do people get so pissed off when a reporter floats a story?? It's speculation. That's all that it is. It's a ctually great when someone from Sportsnet talks CFL in January. 

I don't know why they don't just let Castillo do it all

I agree on Castillo. Kicking is huge in the CFL and Castillo performs up to his contract. Those are the type of contracts we need to keep.
