Khari s definitely an interesting candidate although is a big gamble... personally i dont mind if he turns out to be the best among the other HC candidates... but i want to see that candidate list That same goes for the next GM, too
-
it was Tim Burke's defense that brought this club to Grey Cup in 2011. Previous to that he's defense is in Grey Cup 3 consecutive years. i admit he's a bad head coach but he's a very good defensive coordinator.

Not directed at you specifically but why do people always think a fired coach would want to take a year off and collect the money rather than coach. agree... look at George Cortez, he could have take a year off and collect money while sitting pretty at home but he chose to go to the Riders and serve as OC. some people chose to earn their keep while working hard for it, some people chose to sit and relax while receiving their ration. Not to say the one is better and the other is bad. To each his own.

YAY! what's my price?

Bob Dyce will make sense as his OC but who knows. As for QB coach, he could fill the roll or could hire a guy like Marcus Crandell

I dont know if it's only me but... I got a feeling that if Walters will get the GM gig, he will retain Burke as HC... -

That's the GM job. -
You mean guys like: Burke, PLAP, Kelly, Hawkins, Reed, Hall, Marshall, Cortez, Bellefeuille and Taffe? All guys who were unproven, said to have the right qualities and failed at least in their first season. Sorry but your argument is terribly flawed. For every failure there is as an unproven head coach, there are success stories like Huffer, Chamblin, Benevides, Trestman, Milanovich, Austin. You're going to have to do better than that. You can also scratch Taffe from that list as his first HC job was in Montreal and he did very good things there. His time in Hamilton was marred by a clueless GM in Marcel Desjardins, and free agent busts like Josh Ranek and Casey Printers, and the failed Jason Maas trade. Also, since you mentioned "first season" in your post, if you're expecting this team to do a complete 180 in a single year, you will be terribly disappointed. It is going to take at least 2 years to make this team good, 3 years to make it elite, assuming the correction decisions are made by all involved. ...Did I just win the internet? You've got it wrong. For every success there are 3 or more failures and most of the successes have a good to great vet support system around them, which we don't have. I do expect a turnaround next year. The 2 or 3 year plan is just an excuse to be bad for a couple of years. Drafting to become a winner doesn't work in the CFL where your best players can leave for the NFL or go to FA and play where they want to. Didn't you learn anything from the Mack years? Vet management, coaches and players speed up the rebuilding process. An all rookie team of Miller, Walters, newbie HC, and newbie starting QB would pretty much guarantee a bad year filled with potential. Fans would talk all day about how much better it will be when they have played together for a while. Rookie HC mistakes will cost us some games, but 'He's just learning his job'. Rookie QB mistakes will cost us other games, but 'He's just learning his job'. It will get better soon. After winning a couple of meaningless games at the end of the season folks will search for stats to show how we are 'on the cusp' of a good season next year. We're just a couple of good players away from a competitive team they will say. If all the newbies turn out to be good, they will be right. If one or more of them don't have the right stuff, then blow it up and start over yet again. Agree. I'm too tired of rebuilding after 1-2-3 years. Hire the right experienced people and fill the staff with the same. I want to see the Grey Cup being held up high by players wearing Blue & Gold uniforms... sooner rather than later.

DeMarco who has been so impressive that Buck Pierce has passed him on the depth chart? I dont care what the other teams depth chart and how Collaros and Demarco is stacked on their teams right now. I believe those are the 2 guys that the Bombers are interested about and it would be a good change if we somehow get here the guys we are targetting. If we have both Collaros and DeMarco, Collaros will be the #1 and Demarco will be a good #2 and short yardage guy. Hall will be out.

If I'm the GM... Fire Tim Burke ! ASAP Hire a Head Coach (prior to Ottawa Draft) - the top candidates (in order of preference): 1. Tom Higgins 2. Dave Dickenson - the new head coach will decide which of the current coaching staff he wants to go or keep Bring Collaros (hopefully prior to Ottawa Draft) - trade for Collaros and open the bank to sign him prior to the Ottawa draft - for either of these: a. 2015 2nd and 2013 2nd OR b. 2015 1st and 2013 3rd Sign Henoc (hopefully prior to Ottawa Draft) - open the bank to sign him - sign him as early as possible Prepare for Ottawa Draft - protect these players QB: Collaros (if aqcuired prior to the draft) other wise Hall 10 IMP: January, Jones, Turner, Anderson, McAdoo, Denmark, Wild, Sears Matthews (if he's signed otherwise any of Kelly, Woods or Miles) Washington (if he's signed otherwise any of any Dunn, Suber or Markett) 1st 6 NI: H.Muamba, Watson, Greaves, Neufeld, Penser, Kohlert 2nd 6 NI: sign any 6 of these guys ---> Labbe, Swiston, Parentau, Poblah, Volny, Thomas, Muamba Sign Pipeline Players (after Ottawa Draft) - sign these players after the Ottawa Draft 1. Bilukidi 2. Alli 3. Aprile 4. DiCroce 5. Robertson Plunge Free Agency waters: - sign: OL Morley, Parentau and Sorensen RB Ford, Pontbriand R Matthews, Kholert, Foster and Etienne DB Stewart, Suber DL Gilmore LB Muamba, Labbe - sign FAs from other club, giving importance on these positions 1. vet NI OL 2. NI S 3. NI DL 4. P/K 5. IMP vet DB Dont forget the CFL Draft: - pick C Lavertu for our #2 overall - remaining picks doesnt matter as this is a shallow draft

Pretty sure Ottawa will take Kevin Glenn in the expansion draft.Glenn is a FA ... why would they?Glenn is NOT a free agent. Ron Burgundy says NO!!! I think Burris and Glenn are good interim qbs for them. Ottawa will have much qb depth no matter what way they go then the Blue has had in the last many years. let Ottawa take Burris and Glenn... I will be very happy if we can get both Collaros and DeMarco *thumbs up*

off topic... since the Bombers are going to the West division... does that make the Bombers your favorite team in the West?
-
i thought Collaros is an FA too this off-season ?

Arash Madani: Miller Trying to Force Rick Worman On Walters
M.O.A.B. replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
"who's playing this week" (depth chart) is certainly not one of Miller's role. And he didnt said (on the interview) that he will not be involved in football ops. -

Tom Higgins interested in Bombers GM job
M.O.A.B. replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
if HIggins is available it would stupid not to kick the tires for him. he is a winner wherever he goes. i dont think Walters will be offended if he will end as #2 to the most deserving guy. here's a 'conspiracy' thought... could it be Miller, Walters and Higgins have a gentleman agreement already and only a formalization is need that the latter will be the next GM in Winnipeg. and all Walter's future actions are with Higgins knowledge (and blessing) ? -
if only we can carry four QB, i give each a round. but since we cant do that and this is just purely an evaluation type game, boltus, goltz and brown should be used to evaluate them further. that should be a no brainer, problem that head coach has no brain.
