Rids got a reaction from TBieber in Mike Benevides Fired
Myself and TBieber happened to be on the same football field this past Saturday.
You can even find him in the photos here - http://topprospects.ca/blog/ecs-saskatchewan-moose-jaw-mvps/

Rids got a reaction from Atomic in Mike Benevides Fired
You guys don't read my blog articles often enough. George Cortez was at Cal for 4 years and worked with Kyle Boller and Aaron Rodgers there. Even won the Las Vegas Bowl game with Joe Ayoob as the QB in the transition year after Rodgers.
Jeff Tedford was in the CFL for 5 seasons with 4 teams and on the Stampeders coaching staff for 3 years alongside Wally Buono, John Hufnagel and Tom Higgins. He left at the end of the 1991 season and Cortez joined the Stamps in 1992.

Rids got a reaction from HardCoreBlue in Scams
Best answer for a telemarketer is a teething baby. When my oldest was a couple months old I had a guy call 3 times in a night and finally the last time I just put the phone in the cradle with her screaming at the top of her lungs. That got us off the list for a few years.

Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau. Pretty nice looking 15,000 seat stadium.

Former Montreal Alouette player might be all the connection necessary.

Rumor has it that Mark Washington is in the running for the McGill head coaching job.

Rids got a reaction from johnzo in Mike Benevides Fired
Here's a look back to the 1985 season - http://www.packershistory.net/1985PACKERS-YEAR-CFL.html
Ken Hobart got his first start in Week 5 (4th game). Much like this season Hamilton came from way back in the pack to finished tied at the top with Montreal.

Rids reacted to BigBlue in It's being handled internally
Since we want to toughen up our D maybe we could bring in Angelo Mosca as DC and to keep things lively Joe Kapp as OC

Rids got a reaction from TBURGESS in It's being handled internally
Actually it has a lot to do with the other CFL clubs. Both in individuals that are now available (Would Benevides be an improvement from Etch as a DC?) and also in the size of the contract needed to secure a coach in the future.
Also in another form do those open jobs hold any interest in current Bomber coaches. Everything that happens in the CFL has a ripple effect on the other teams.

Do assistant coaches even get multiyear contracts?

Rids got a reaction from Floyd in It's being handled internally
Two things:
#1 there's a lot of smoke to clear after the BC Lions and Riders have cleared out a bunch of coaches from their staffs and players start getting NFL workout offers.
#2 Most of the front office focus right now is on Vegas and the start of the tryout season. First open tryout hits the field on Sunday.

Rids got a reaction from Al Bundy in Former Bomber QB LeFors
He's coaching in Louisville and they finished 10-2 this year reaching the State quarter finals. They were 6-0 in district play.
I always felt that he got short changed in the CFL working with OCs that didn't adjust for a left handed QB.

Rids got a reaction from Noeller in Demski too good to pass up?
I've heard about a Draft Guide written every year for those looking for more details on 150 to 200 players up for the annual talent allotment.....

Rids got a reaction from rebusrankin in Is it necessary to hire coordinators with CFL experience?
If I was a CFL HC I would invite in a couple guest coaches a year with the thinking that these guys may eventually become CFL co-ordinators vs just another set of eyes for a position group.

You can chalk me up to being a country music fan since I live with a country music singer/songwriter (truth be told I listen to more sports talk radio than music of any variety) . The CCMAs was always a frustrating thing for me though when we were still in Canada as you could pick the award winners basically from the day the nominees were announced.
