If MLSE was serious, they'd fire or reassign Pinball & Murphy. Let someone else come in & have total control of football operations. Murphy is a ****** & seems that a lot of CFL people don't like him which is why he isn't a CFL GM by now.
Murphy had a fistfight with Hamilton fans a few years back & was indefinitely suspended. Then after Murphy returned to the Argos, he dismissed the sexual harrassment by Kelly. Murphy even blamed the woman involved for making it all public & "opening up a can of worms" for Kelly & the Argos. Pinball knew about the sxexual harrassment as well & did nothing. Both should have been fired. Pinball & Murphy's involvement in the day to day operations is really interfering in the hiring of a new GM/HC. To the point the Argos will hire someone so low on the totem pole that he will grind the Argos into the ground.
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.
QuoteDinwiddie took his two Grey Cup rings to Ottawa, where he will act as head coach and general manager of the Redblacks. He didn’t necessarily want the GM title in Toronto, but he did want more control over personnel. And he wanted John Murphy out as player personnel chief. The Argos said no to that and it played a significant role in Dinwiddie heading to Ottawa.

Fly from Calgary to Winnipeg it's $700 so who cares?? I'd rather domestic flights be cheaper than flights to sun destinations.
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.

I was pretty young but iirc it was more of a Dru Brown situation where Danny Mac wanted to start and left in FA.
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.

I know everyone is just going to say "can't be worse!" But do we know if this Mike Miller is any good? We don't want to just do better than last year... We need to do GREAT with this hire...
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).

Ballsy to go straight after guys like Mos, Coach O, and Mace. All balls, no brains approach, really. Mos I can see considering it because he was the career argo guy. The other two man IDK.
They gonna get desperate fast after letting dinwiddie walk.
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.

And in other news, please God, let this happen....
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.

I thought we had both Danny and Matty in 92. Did Danny Mac not leave in 93 because Cal prefered The Son In Law?
Yup, we had both in 92 (as well as the son in law). 92 was Matty's first year with us & Danny's last. I remember the rumours about Garza but he was 3rd string & had been with the team longer so I'm not sure how true that is.

How much is he making in NIL $?
Apparently he's one of the highest paid college QB's, making around $2 million a year. He reportedly turned down a $4 million/year offer to leave Vanderbilt but declined because they took a chance on him so he feels indebted to them.

Would like to see Pavia up here. Watched him on the Netflix series about the SEC and he just had a career game where he threw for 484 yards & 5 td's against Kentucky yesterday (most passing yards in a SEC game in almost 30 years). He's definitely getting some attention right now but at 5'10, how much of a real look does he get in the NFL?

Listen I'm the guy here mostly likely to have a beef with any former Rider, just based on hyper anti-Sask mentality... And, to my knowledge, I have ALWAYS said on here, once a guy left there to come here: "Get the Riders stink off him and we're good to go"...
And just last week I was begging for AJ Allen to come here... And there's nobody that hates Sask more than I do. Nobody.
You sure?

Hardrick was hardly a Rider...one partial season and cut during season...
There were definitely some people not happy about bringing in Rider castoffs. Worked out well for us in the end but there was doubt about him.

Dressler was never fully accepted.
He was at the end of his career by the time he came here so yeah he been associated with the Riders for so long that I can see that. He also didn't have a big energetic personality that made you overlook that Rider stink. Guys like Willie and Yoshi made it hard to dislike them.

One hit to the knees & both guys are done. Again. Bringing them back even after a 2 year absence is madness. Time to let them go. Rehab whatever they are entitled to & then cut them.
Nield would be a welcome addition here. He can run downfield & make contested catches. Clercius is a tank. And runs like one.
Can any former Rider receivers ever find happiness in the Blue & Gold? Would we Bomber fans accept Emilus or Nield? Look how hard it was for both Ryan Smith & Weston Dressler to play here. There was always a small group of Bomber fans who never forgave them for being former Riders.
Willie and Yoshi did not seem to have any issues here, being former Riders.

I’m assuming Mr. Mitchell will be released?
One year deal so no need to release him.

Dolegala was taking snaps in Hamilton this year.
And in BC last year but let's not let facts get in the way of things.
1 minute ago, blue85gold said:He didn’t even attempt a pass this year
But he did take snaps as the short yardage QB.

Dillon Mitchell and Peyton Logan didn't do much for us, unfortunately, but they were considered decent gets when we picked them up. I suppose Logan is on a 2 yr contract, he may yet pan out. Obviously I'd rather have kept Kenny over the both of them.
Logan was hurt early and then Vaval took his job & never gave it back- he may have added something if he ever got to see the field. Mitchell was a bust for sure though.

You guys read that I said Alexander and Rourke?
I don't count Dru because the Redblack didn't groom him.
Why wouldn't Dru count? He may be with Ottawa but Winnipeg absolutely groomed him - they just chose to stick with ZC. It's no different than how Arbuckle was touted as the next big Calgary QB for a couple seasons but he was behind a prime BLM so he was shipped off to (coincidentally) Ottawa. Calgary had Maier after that and they eventually felt confident enough to move on from BLM. Neither guy panned out as an elite starter but Calgary still spend a few seasons developing each of them.

Like every team in the league the long-term hope at QB is the neg list.
Not a lot of teams are grooming back-ups to take over. That's why we're still watching Bo, Zach, Faj, and Harris play. Only recent success there is Alexander and Rouke. I guess Kelly too for one and bit seasons.
Alexander has 4 seasons under his belt now - he was definitely groomed to take over.

Yeah...Dolegala had moe experience as a pro..Wilson more experience here....but also the way we run practice and get guys in for reps during season his "experiemce" was basically moot....Either way...a healthy QB would have gave us a better chance than a guy who could barely grip the ball...let alone throw it...Plus the fact he basically has been a non factor in majority of our playoff games for most part anyway...sometimes a switch makes a huge shift in game...we have been on other end of that several times
What did ZC give us after he came in with his dangly finger?? I know first pass was picked...but wasnt there a pick 6 as well...fumble...couple of turtling sacks?....I actually shut the game off shortly after the first pick and havnt even watched the finish
Yep, Wilson, going into GC threw a grand total of 1 pass in his 18 games in the 2024 regular season. He had next to zero experience doing anything but handing the ball off or running a QB sneak. That's the MOS way though, with rookies.
