I don't think coordinator experience has to be pre-requisite, but there should at least be some knowledge of the Canadian game and previous experience as a CFL positional coach. Cortez, for example, was a QB coach in the CFL before ever becoming an OC. All the successful OCs right now are the same way. Chapdelaine, Milanovich/Brady, hell even Dickenson with all his knowledge of the game spent time as a positional coach before advancing to OC. It's just the only way that you're going to have success in the CFL and unfortunately the Bombers chose to ignore that.

So that's where my dad went

Kory Sheets Changing my pick to Jade Etienne

Might as well go with Goltz now, the season's in the toilet already

How many times a season do you actually see a running back get 20 carries in the CFL? Cornish led the league in carries by a fair margin and only averaged 14 carries per game.

I had a dream last night that we will get off to a hot start tonight, 11-0 in the first quarter. But I also dreamed that Oscar from the Office played for the Argos, Doug Brown was back with the Bombers, and they were wearing orange and blue. So I don't know how reliable that dream was.

Elliott sucked

School doesn't start til September, bring in Johnny Aprile

61.3%, 250+ yards, and a couple TD drives of 60+ yards each. That is good enough QB'ing to win with a good defence, which is all we need. More than we ever got from Elliott, that's for sure.

One more win and he will be at the same level

Wait are you talking about Pierce this year or Elliott last year, hard to tell

2012 Elliott -> Worst QB rating in the league (20+ attempts)

Third most passing yards in the league

Exactly, and that's the whole point. If Elliott manages to put the ball in the endzone even once, there are no opportunities for bad coaching decisions or defensive breakdowns because he put the points on the board and won the game. But it just didn't happen. I just love how the Elliott boosters' main argument is that he was great at moving the ball until he got into the redzone, like that is something to be proud of. And then they put on their coaching hats and tell us how easy it is to fix.

Buck Pierce has already led a longer drive this season than Elliott did all of last season. Elliot was awful only on Labour Day and in Calgary? How about the Banjo Bowl when Elliott was given the ball on the Rider side of the field multiple times and never got a sniff of the endzone? How about week 14 against Toronto when he threw 3 interceptions? Pierce is bad, Elliott was worse. I agree we have a QB problem but I don't agree it would be any better with Elliott still here.

He absolutely did NOT get first downs when we needed them, or else we would have had more wins. People seem to have this skewed memory of Elliott in which he was a star that drove up and down the field all day, when nothing could be further from the truth. He was given great field position time and time again and coughed up the ball or stalled drives and caused us to go for field goals. People's hate of Pierce is causing them to build Elliott up into some kind of star when he was actually nothing more than slightly below average. Also love how everyone talks about all his "easily correctable" flaws like they actually have a clue how easy it is to coach up a QB.

Pierce only has to win 2 more games to beat Elliott's win total as a starter last season (in 9 games started), not exactly a lofty goal but it's the standard laid down by the guy everyone here is crying about cutting. I'm sure Pierce can do better than that.

I doubt Edwards dresses... 4-man is likely Kowalczuk, Edwards, Woods, and one of Fitzgerald, Lucas, or Thomas.

We already have one, Elliott was terrible

Goltz

Must-watch http://esks.com/video/index/id/86335/category/1225

Good point, don't know how we could forget about him. He is just about as complete a DE as you will find in the CFL. He does it all.

Glenn tried his hardest to lose that one. Once again. All he's good for is an opening drive and then a bunch of 2 and outs.

I gotta say, I'm thinking Als win in this one. I don't think they're as bad as the Bombers made them look and they will bounce back. 36-25 Montreal.
