Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
bigg jay replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It's not just this year though - he disappeared for the last third of the season in 2024 before having himself a hell of a GC. Is a team going to spend big money based on one great game 2 seasons ago? There are only 2 ways I can see him get that kind of money at this point of his career - a bonus heavy contract or one loaded with marketing money. -
Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
bigg jay replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They were apparently working diligently last year too but nothing got announced until February. MOS had even claimed that they were ahead of the game last year as they had already been preparing for life after Buck when he got interviewed by other teams to be their HC. That being said, there are rumors that suggest a coach turned down our offer to be the OC and they had to go back to the drawing board and that's how we ended up with Hogan. We also interviewed Makysmic but he took the Elks job instead so we could have missed out on 2 of our top choices which would understandably delay things a bit. Hopefully they don't run into those issue again - could be a red flag if we keep missing out on our preferred choices. -
25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread

How much juice did he have in 2018 when we tried to walk away from him? The fact that it's now 2025 and we're still talking about him and he's still playing that kind of a role, is a huge fail for this team. -

I heard the Bombers had a contest to redo the jerseys and JT won by adding racing stripes to the helmets. MOS was quite impressed. -

Shai Ross went viral (twice) on Instagram, not Tik Tok. He's on both platforms but has a much bigger following on IG (2.5 million vs 140k). -

That'd be an improvement since there's usually seven of them. -

His old position isn't vacant though - Andre Bolduc was hired as his replacement so what do you say to him? Sorry, you're out of a job because Hogan sucked at his? -

Yeah I rag on them as much as anybody but they do a better job of covering the CFL than the "real" media. They are great for news but their opinion pieces are not usually worth reading. -
You can find deals though - like I said, you can fly to/from Calgary and Winnipeg for very cheap at certain times. If you are looking to go at peak times, you pay peak prices. Google Flights is a good way to look for affordable flights and you can set alerts to notify you when prices change. Halifax is beautiful but like most cities, the homeless situation makes it unappealing to explore, at least it was a couple years ago when I was there. Only other place east of Ontario, I've been was Montreal - also beautiful but was way more expensive than Halifax.

Have yet to see a good explanation. Jamaica getting hit by the hurricane has definitely increased prices but it's still been much higher than normal even prior to that. We book well in advance and have price match guarantees so we're always watching prices. There were some deals to be had a couple months ago but very few these days unless you are happy with going to Cuba.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
bigg jay replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Perkins was added to our neg list in August but he's been bouncing around other teams lists since at least 2020 so might be just lucky timing on our part but I won't complain. Looks like he has a great skill set for the CFL and he's still only 28. -

Apparently Dinwiddie wanted Murphy gone & the Argo's said no so he left. I can't imagine sticking with a known piece of s**t like that to the detriment of your franchise - luckily for MLSE, nobody in Toronto will notice. Family comes first as Mike O'Shea spurns Argonauts | Toronto Sun -
People who like to go south in the winter care. Besides - it's a sale price, to one specific location, not all sun destinations. We've got a trip booked in March and our flight prices are way higher than normal ($1400 to Cancun) - on the same dates I can fly round trip to Calgary for $213 so yeah it can be way cheaper to fly domestically.

Except he didn't start for another few seasons. He went to BC in FA where he backed up Danny Barrett and then Kent Austin. Austin got traded after the 1993 season and McManus finally got the reigns in 94. -

30 years of coaching, OC in the NFL (Arizona), OC in Toronto and Montreal (also co-head coach there). Plus he's made Arbuckle look halfway decent. Would not be worse but time would tell if would be great. -

If they are interviewing other people for the OC position, that means Hogan is gone (or at least demoted). -

Looks like Hogan is done! https://3downnation.com/2025/11/24/winnipeg-blue-bombers-granted-permission-to-interview-mike-miller-for-offensive-coordinator-position-report/ -
I'm sure they let him walk thinking it'd be a slam dunk to get MOS to come back. Now they're throwing s**t at the wall to see what will stick.

Not a pending FA. Argos extend receiver Damonte Coxie through 2026 - CFL.ca -
If Toronto wants an experienced HC, looks like it's Campbell's job for the taking since both Steinauer & Mace have declined to be interviewed for the position. Not sure why they would even bother asking Mace - can't see him leaving anytime soon.
