  1. Big time. The inmates ran the asylum when he was here, luckily he had some pretty solid inmates who could lead. The total loss of control in 08 and downloading of the OC duties to Dinwiddie and Glenn in the second half of the season proved the guy can't handle any of the positions that require management skills. Good coach, not a manager. Not cut out to be a head coach or co-ordinator. OL coach or maybe even QB coach would be a good role for him, along with advising a young head coach. Don't want him in charge of anything. I vaguely remember Glenn calling plays when he didn't want to. But who was OC. Berry wasn't OC at the time....unless I'm confused. Kit Cartwright
  2. I think they can both be great. Collaros' play is not an illusion, he is the real deal. He is confident, has a good arm, and what I really like is his escapability in the pocket. That is a valuable skill that you can't really teach. I think Reilly is just really inconsistent. It's easy to blame the team he has around him, but too many times he was terrible to start a game but then great to finish, just coming up short. He's got all the skills though, just a matter of putting together 60 solid minutes of football every game.
  3. Denmark has had the same receivers coach since he's been in the CFL. I seem to recall Howell was a defensive and ST coach his first year. Was he also working with the receivers? You're right. Chris Wiesehan was the receivers coach in 2011 when Denmark arrived.
  4. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Ottawa if Lapo gets the head coaching job
  5. He's a winner!!!
  6. Keeping Burke on as DC seems totally absurd to me. Nothing against the guy as a defensive coordinator, but I just don't see how that could work.
  7. Troy Westwood sure sounds pretty convinced on 1290 that Khari is going to be the guy
  8. I get the feeling you're a fan of change for the sake of change. I just don't believe that a rookie GM and a rookie CEO led by a broken board of directors is what this team needs right now... or ever.
  9. More of the same old, same old. Nothing will change. Dark times ahead.
  10. Stamps vs Ticats, Ticats win
  11. He was draft eligible this year so I think his CIS eligibility is done after this season. He punted 39 times for a 40.8 yard average and went 22/26 on field goals (85%). Whether he is truly CFL ready, I do not know. But those are nice numbers.
  12. Well we gotta do something. I'd rather hold out for Lirim Hajrullahu but Whyte would be a nice pickup if that doesn't work out. Anyone but SANDRO.
  13. That's because offensive lines are getting killed across the league right now. How many guys can you really call dominant? Outside of Calgary, every OL is pretty damn questionable most nights.

  15. Dying breed. There isn't a guy like that left in the CFL.
  16. The fact that he's always an automatic allstar selection and always shows up in the MOL category for the bombers and the way the commentary always hypes him up the reputation suggests he's a top teir o-lineman. I don't think he is, I think he's a good journeyman player but hardly elite. Oh please, you just don't like his name. What specifically is it about January's game that makes him not elite?
  17. His price was already maxed out, he was never going to sign here for anything less than being the highest paid Canadian in the league.
  18. Thelma and Louise
  19. Stubler got 10 games and was fired after going 4-6. And the team didn't win another game for the rest of the season after he was fired. He got a shitty deal.
  20. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  21. Goltz can't live the button-down life like you guys. He wants it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, he might offend a few of the bluenoses with his cocky stride and musky odors - oh, he'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Justin Goltz?"
  22. In my lifetime the Bombers have won 7 Grey Cups. Six of them were won by Head Coaches who, when we hired them, were Rookies. Boom goes the dynamite!!!
  23. I agree with this to some extent, but then you take a look around the league and see guys like Benevides, Milanovich, and Chamblin all having success and they were rookie HC's when they arrived. Even Hufnagel was a rookie CFL HC, although he had HC experience in the arena league. But you also make a good point about the GM and CEO being rookies and how adding a rookie HC to the mix could be a bad idea. However if Walters doesn't end up as GM, and we get a veteran guy like Higgins, then that is not as much of a concern.
