Slightly off topic but I'm watching the Jags-Texans game (as the Jets were playing like poop tonight) and I saw them iso on Austin Pasztor at guard for the Jags and talk about how he's got a long career ahead of him on the O-line there. That made me smile as I still remember that jerk Tillman high-fiving everyone when Edmonton got to draft him after Mack took Pencer instead. Who's laughing now Eric??

Arash Madani was on the Fan 960 today and was commenting on the current trend in the CFL of hiring first time head coaches vs. the past history of recycling. He pointed out that all the new hires this year will be newbie head coaches. He personally thought it was great for the league and of course all the up and coming coaching talent in the CFL that are waiting for their chance.
Yup I agree. Good to get some new blood into the CFL in the coaching ranks, and in the QB ranks. We are seeing that happening finally.

Winnipeg: they've got Osh. that could be reason enough right there. i also have some friends who support them. on the negative side, they were awful to Toronto fans in the 91 GC and their franchise's all time most notable player twice insisted that Toronto shouldn't have a team.
tough call. i'll have to listen to my sports-gut.
you are still holding a grudge from the 1991 Grey Cup? Most of the guys posting here were still swimming in daddy's fun bag at that time. I guess this just hit me mostly because it reminded me of how old you and I both are now Bluto!
I still remember that beer can sailing out of the crowd and almost nailing Ismail as he ran by for his punt return touchdown. Classy!! -
here's my guess how the dominoes will fall as far as the OC positions are concerned:
OC:
WPG = Khari Jones - the leading candidate so far
BC = Paul LaPolice - without AC, i think he will choose the Lions with Lulay/Pierce there
EDM = Jacques Chapdelaine - he has familliarity with Reilly so that will really help their O
MTL = Marcel Bellefuille - im not sure he will settle for less than an OC in Winnipeg
OTT = Doug Berry - don't know if he worked with Campbell before but the potential of him reuniting with Glenn will be hard to resist
I got the impression during the practice I watched that there was no particular love between Glenn and Berry. Berry just buzzed around in a golf cart while Kit Cartwright yelled at the QB's and Brian Randle kept throwing balls 20 yards off target. Man that guy was terrible.

So what does Lapo do now? Take an OC gig? His Bomber gravy train is finally over so he has to get a real job somewhere.
he can retain his TSN gig actually.
Yeah of course but that was just a supplement to his BB salary he was still collecting. Not sure you can live off of a 2 minute segment 4 times a weekend, especially on a Canadian sports network, and with three hungry children to feed now.

irregardless, this thread rocks!

I was at the press conference today and Paul Friesen asked O'Shea a couple questions. Friesen sounded likea little girl shaking in his boots when he asked the question. Then Friesen goes on Twitter and trashes O'Shea. What a cowardly scumbag Friesen is.
O'Shea first thought: "What the hell - there's more than one media guy here at a CFL press conference. So unlike Toronto." Second thought: "Who is this ginger-haired idiot?" Get used to thinking that Mike.

Burke just had no idea how to run a team as a head coach. Couldn't relate to his players. Blamed them instead of him for losing by pointing fingers at individuals. Unable to adjust in game situations. He was such a disaster as a HC & it contributed greatly to the team losing so much. I was shocked at how such an experienced football coach was so disorganized & truthfully clueless on the sidelines as a head man.
Yeah I don't expect O'Shea to be doing much of this all next year, like we had to experience all this year....
-
Missed the whole damn thing. Just going on 1290 now to hear the aftermath...
-
I know being a professional HC is more than " hey, guys , be like me when I played. "
And it's also a lot more than drawing plays on a whiteboard and barking formations into a headset, which is apparently the only things guys like Cortez and Burke are good at.
Or just yelling at the refs and giving your inconsistent QB withering looks as he throws an INT in the last two minutes and loses the game, like Austin.
-
I don't really think you know what a head coach does.
Neither did Tim Burke....

I'm just glad that they are bringing in cfl people who are in tune with the league.
No more unknowns who have to learn the game.
Yes you really get the impression that Miller and Walters sat down together and made a list of all of the things Mack did and how he did them, then underneath wrote in big bold letters "DO THE OPPOSITE OF THE ABOVE".

One thing Penton said to Mike on Twitter today (sorry to creep...ha ha!) was that it sounds like the co-ordinators are going to be chosen by the entire team working together. Wade, Kyle, AGMs, and O'Shea....as with everything so far, they're going to be working like a joint task force to get stuff done, and that'll be no different with the assistants. So it'll be interesting to see what the consensus picks are!
Wait, that's our Mike that asked that?
....I feel so....let down. Which one are you, the one with the backwards cap or the stupid glasses?
stupid glasses.
Sigh...I feel sad now.
there I changed it. I look slightly (SLIGHTLY) less douchebaggy now.
I dunno...what has been seen cannot be unseen...
This will take a while to get over...
I always thought Mike was more a dead-ringer for Dancing Gabe. My bad.
-
O'Shea's cups don't count once we hire him. Friesen logic.

with that arm/shoulder tattoo you'd fit right in here in Kelowna Mike.

The press conference is at the Fairmont as that's where Ron Burgundy is staying.

Way to go Milt!!! This is why we love you...
STEGALL TO GO DEEP TO PROMOTE RACIAL TOLERANCE IN MANITOBA
MORRIS, Man. - A well-known member of the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame will speak out against racism later this month in a southern Manitoba town that's trying to shed any image that it's racist.
Milt Stegall, a former star wide receiver with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, will be outside a restaurant in Morris called Thea's Diner on Dec. 14 to deliver a message about tolerance.
Thea Morris, the restaurant's Jamaican-born owner, recently said she's closing her business because of racist behaviour on the part of some people in community.
The 53-year-old woman has said she's received an email referencing the Ku Klux Klan and has been told by one of her customers that people are avoiding her business because she is black.
Ron D'Errico, president of Winnipeg's Impact Security Group, says he contacted the U.S.-born Stegall about what was happening in Morris and he was very upset.
D'Errico says Stegall will talk about what racism does to a community and will strongly encourage Morris residents to work together.

does Burke get to bring Creehan along as a signing bonus?
-
Let's hope that half-way through next year the Argos decide to give Milanovich his walking papers and appoint Burke as Head Coach. That would be interesting to watch indeed.
-
I like these moves - including Morris... I would like to see one more Asst GM of Football Ops
LOL - just add "assistant GM" to everyone's name. "Assistant GM of cash register operation" for the girl at the Bomber store. "Assistant GM of toilet scrubbing" for the janitor...
-
now they just need to hire a QB coach and everyone will be happy! Of course, that assumes we have a QB to be coached.
Redblacks to name Rick Campbell head coach

My all-time favorite team name is still the Macon Whoopee.
