Edmonton and Calgary will likely regress somewhat. SK will be significantly better -- likely scrapping with the two Alberta teams for a top playoff spot. BC should improve with Wally, marginally. As for us. If Drew stays upright, I see us getting a road playoff game and getting summarily roasted. Huge progress. So stoked.

Anyone else in the league, if they had the opportunity, would do the exact same thing. People can criticize us all they want, but why shouldn't we hire all those coaches from Edmonton? There is no strict rule regarding this, so there is no reason to complain about it. I do think that CFL teams should have to adhere to some type of front office/ coaching cap. Yeah, yeah, I've heard the arguments -- business owners should be free to spend what they want, save the cap for the on-field only, blah blah. But this is the CFL. It's perpetually a season or two away from extinction. In fact, its already awash in apathy, at least in area codes like 416, 905, and 604. The more parity in the league, the better.

Yep I believe the good DR.CFL called this one a couple days ago before anyone in media was talking about it Indeed good call. I hate to say it, but i LOVE what's going on in Saskatchewan right now. Yep. Next year they will contend, following year likely win it all. Must be nice

Wow, SASK got good fast. We should nab Smith. Walters needs help.

Pleased with the hire. I think he's the best guy realistically available. Its just sad that Walters can't find players.

Khari and Miller are old friends and business partners. Job is his for the taking. Im sure Westwood will appear as a kicking consultant too.

Cortez is the best for the job. But it won't end well as our receivers are slow and underwhelming. We're also completely hooped if (or when, considering the protection) Willy goes down, as our back up QB's are as ghastly as our O-line. Georgie is just gonna love #TheWaltersEffect.

Yeah, but we have the Miller-Walters-O'Shea Flaming Hoop Of Mediocrity. The other franchises may be question marks, but our missing the playoffs again is basically guaranteed.

Our coaching is mediocre. But our talent is way below average. If we dump Walters and hire Murphy we are instantly better. But thats not the Bomber way. #friendsfirst

Man, I hope we can get Walters inked to something long-term. Would hate to lose him to a bitter rival when we're so, so close to winning the big prize.

Lapo is a very good OC. Actually might even be ready to be HC again. But he would be crazy come here with the lame talent pool we have here. Need a GM that can find football players first.

Bank on it. Guarantee the rumblings about "Wade reaching out to coaches still under contract" was in fact Wade talking to Khari. Probably said "it's not tampering, we own a Booster Juice together." Not saying he isn't a step up over MB, but still. Why does this have to be the Bomber way?

Miller was the epitome of a nepotism hire. Local boy, Bomber alumni, son of a Bomber (and former board member). Doesn't make him incapable of doing the job. Just shows how the franchise operates. The fact that Miller did the "exhaustive search" for his buddy Walters should have been the writing on the wall. It was for me. I personally lost a lot of respect for Miller when he "announced his retirement" -- at the Pinnacle head office. Cant pass up free publicity huh Wade? While Lamar McGriggs, who was ten times the player Miller ever was, gets a cursory mention in a throwaway news release. And thats why we can't win a Cup in 25 years -- in a 8-10 team league.

Right -- see the bolded. I questioned the decision they made when it happened. And now, considering our record, I blame them for it.

Tillman by far would be the best choice, he's been actively recruiting for the Ti-Cats and still doing a great job but his reputation is probably too much for the fans to stomach right now. Tillman is poison. Groping teenage girls... Well, guy did his time. At what point do you let someone move on? Not saying I would want to be friends with the guy but at least he can do the job. Walters seems like a nice guy. Probably a cool dude. Fricken terrible GM.
