oh sh$#!

Someone should tell the Bomber brass that coaches have no effect on the ratio

Well we have a heck of a CIS coaching staff

I like him already

Great news. Vega is exactly the kind of player this team needs more of - very happy to see him back.

Who wrote this drivel?

Not. Good.

What qualifications does Maas have to be an oc? Why would anyone be on his bandwagon ?

I bet it's Kito. That would be my guess as well.

I just hope that if they do hire O'Shea that he has the sense to hire his own staff - as Bluto pointed out he will need some serious offensive support - and KJ isn't the guy to give it to him (still love ya KJ). I would want to see a veteran offensive staff brought in. There's lots of them out there right now.

I'm pretty confident that getting a good piece or 2 on the o-line will do more to improve the Bombers than an 'impact' import receiver. Those pieces don't hit the market. Name one starting NI OL in the whole league who moved during free agency last off-season. In the last 3 off-seasons, Labatte, Picard, Rottier and O'Neill are the only guys who could be even loosely called starters that moved in free agency. Last NI safety to move in free agency, JR Larose, a guy coming back from a tib-fib fracture who almost had his leg amputated. Free agency is useless when you are building a team. Draft and develop. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, 2013 Grey Cup Champions*, disagree. *barf

I'd much rather have our money spent on building the best o-line in the CFL than on American receivers.

Agreed.

TSN's broadcasts are head and shoulders above anything CBC and Sportsnet are currently capable of. They better be able to dig a little deeper in the war chest to find some money to hire some talent because if they can't/don't, ugh.

This day has not started well.

Hey I like Walters. I do. I hope he succeeds big time. But this just reeks of 'same old same old'. This is not the change we (I ) was looking for.

sigh.

Khari as HC? No thank you. Love the guy, not a HC, at least not yet. Maybe in 5 or 6 years .... Please don't let this be true.

Agree 100%. A HC needs a different skill set than an OC.

Exactly.

fin.

If by getting Collaros we mean that he signs a 2+ year deal with the Bombers then by all means our 2nd overall is well worth it.

No to Dunigan as GM please, and while we're at it, no to Khari as HC as well. OC sure.

The fact that they haven't already fired him has me greatly worried that we haven't seen the last of Burke. If Miller and Walters, both of whom have said Burke isn't the problem, get their 'acting' tags removed (as expected), then what are the chances that they retain Burke as HC? Most of the time a team will act quickly after the season (see the Eskimos) both to signal the opening and to give them as much time as possible to find the replacement. Now we are hearing it might be weeks before a decision is made about Burke's future. I don't like where this is going.
