Really like the hire, proven success and adds a vet coach which I feel we need. 4 Grey Cups. And frankly, I'd blame the O and Chapdeline more for BC's issues.

A lot of those guys were extended to 2015, I assume that is where the big $ is.

Paul Brown's Browns were in the championship the 1st six years they were in the NFL, winning 3. Oh and 12-13 teams so not so different than the CFL.

Bluto, I'll save you a long conversation with family and friends, Bluto is a Bomber fan. There, you've been outed. I'll even chip in for a #50 O'Shea Bombers jersey for ya.

Gibson, Wylie or an experienced OL coach who can teach. Miles, Stubler for DC Jones, Brady, Cortez OC

Love this hiring. Feel O'Shea just has the ability to lead, teach and the ability to let coaches do their job.

Don't want Marcel or Cortez for the reasons stated by others.

Love these hires both for who we hired and that we're upping the scouting department.

Works for both sides.

TC he could look at the lists, neg lists, not so much.

Who are some of the players he found? Not 100% sure be he's been their head of us scouting so I look at guys they brought in like Gable, Williams, Ellingston etc and think he'll be good.

Love this move based on the players he found in Hamilton the past 5 years. Plus he should know what a good qb looks like.

That attitude from Rider fans is one of the reasons I dislike them.

Both all-stars. Henoc is flashier and has a zillion tackles but I would take a 6'2 S/LB ball hawk as well. I'd take them both to, but Henoc is better. FYI Butler has never been an all-star.

Butler is good but not as good or better than Henoc.

yea cuz that henoc guy and greaves have just been such busts.. When the ratio goes down to 2 NI's we'll be golden. But by 2035 when its 12 teams and 2 NIs those two will be old.

I think they do. They can protect Henoc, Neufeld, Greaves, Watson, Pencer and Swiston. What's the worst that happens, they lose FA Kolhert or Etienne?

Rebus, refresh my memories about the 91 and 98 Grey Cup in Winnipeg. I can't seem to recall the issues with the transportation. I remember Winnipeg being praised for the 1991 Grey Cup as the city appeared to reinvigorate Grey Cup week after many years of it languishing in larger cities. Sorry, I meant this year related to IGF. I know that's local versus national but really something the media should focus on instead of kissing Rider butt.

Noeller, you mean Disney owning ABC, ESPN etc?

Interesting takes from those who went, so thanks. Bluto, I've said many of the same things and agree. Winnipeg got blasted for the transportation for the first two home games (rightly so) but the media wrote very little about the inability of Regina to host this event.

I like the combo of O'Shea and Khari. Hope its not Burke as our DC.

O'Shea with Stubler as a DC, Maas as a QBC and whoever as OC could be good.

We save $ then correct? I know we owe Burke for 2014 but if he coaches another club we only pay the difference correct?

I don't know if I can throw the ball as inaccurately as he can and look as bad doing it. That's a pretty high level to achieve. I can fumble a snap, fail to fall on it and let a defender take it to the house with the best of them. Throw a pretty sweet pick too. Plus I add the Cam Hall ability to tell off the fans.

I suspect many of us could perform at the level of Boltus.
