B-F-F-C

I would look at Maas as an OC.  However, I still hold by my belief that Buck should be the next OC.   Unless for some reason he doesn't want to move on from QB's coach.

He might be but I don't think there's a team in the CFL that would give him the coaching reigns.  No way no how!

you can call them jackasses but I think deep down we all knew that Harris would be snubbed by the media for the year end awards.   . 

You can justify a lot of questionable behaviour. 
I'd rather just pay up and not create enemies. You would be foolish to think all other teams would not think twice about similar deals in the future. 
We already maxed out our investment, we don't win a Cup without him.

I think you pay up if he re-signs with us regardless. 
Makes sense to me. 

my guess, Nichols Streveller and McGuire back next season.

We have to have Nichols or ZC.  Not willing to run with 2 prospects at QB

I think Streveler can be that guy. 
 

Well Osh said he expects to finalize his new deal soon...and wants the notion he doesn't wanna be here put to bed...so that tells me he is back and it's just a matter of time until it announced

It's interesting how Collaros comes in and after 3 weeks with the team and takes the reigns of the offence and executes it masterfully. No other QB on the Bombers executed Lapo's offence like Collaros did. 
I'm a huge Matt Nichols fan but watching Collaros over the last few games showed me that the offence under Matt Nichols was probably running at 70% efficiency. Then Collaros comes in and we finally see the offence running at close to 90%.  
Will Collaros be back?  I highly doubt it.  So who gives us the best chance to win right now?  Probably Matt Nichols but it's also incumbent upon the OC (be it Lapo or someone else) to design an offence that works with Nichols strengths but more importantly his weaknesses. 

Booch I usually don't disagree with you but this time I must.  All you have to do is look at 2nd down conversions for both QB's.  I don't have stats but it sure looked to me Collaros had more success which obviously extended drives.  He was also able to escape pressure and make plays where Nichols would often be sacked or throw the ball away.  
Two different QB's but I believe strongly that Collaros was significantly more effective.

I doubt Mass gets a HC for a while..too volatile and not a good leader

If I have to chose: 
I would go with Arbuckle / Strev combo (for some reason) 

I'd like Collaros / Strev next (but I dont think Walters will give up his 2020 1st rounder)

if those 2 options will not be available, Nichols / Strev it is (with Nichols a little less on the $, and Strev get some pay raise)

If Matt is back...which I think he will be, we will be fine. Is it optimal?..well in my opinion in whats available yes I think so. Though he tends to seem immobile and throws it away at first sign of trouble, thats not 100 percent correct. I think that the last month or so the offence evolved into one that realized it can push and should push a ball...Matt can make deep throws...he has shown that and more liberal Streveler with Matt (which I know both would be open to if it results in what we just accomplished) can be just as effective as what Collaros and Strev did
With Zack...he has now brought himself back into the 550K+ or more neighborhood....but..and big but...I still believe he is at major risk to be one good Simoni away from being on the shelf again...even though he showed otherwise for us..we kept him clean, but you can't count on that all year, and to sign Atrev back as wel...which we should be he is gonna need close to 150-200k possibly incentive laden so we are looking at prob 750 to 800k for them.
We can prob get Matt coming off injury at 500k max..he doesn't garner more than that especially off injury and I think the day of the 700-800k QB was an anomally and teams saw how it can hinder you in the grand scheme..Hello BC
A Strev/Nichols combo would prob have us in a combined 650-700k total, that 50-100k surplus can go a long way to bumping up extensions for guys like Rose..Jefferson..Sayles..Bryant..
The Arbuckle love is rolling the dice..he was decent but not other worldly and still green...as was Dane Evans and look what happened when film was out on him to be studied for a big game, and he seen schemes that he wasn't familiar with, the pressure coming at him from all areas, not to mention the pressure of the big game...he wilted..crumpled...did not lead..he looked just like he was...a back-up inexperienced QB...Why do you think the Cat's have gone on record saying they want Masoli back??...
Look what experience and been there done that does in regards to Collaros...vet experience...seen it all before...limited time with the team and he went in and won...He got put on a good team..within a good system, wasn't asked to do it all himself (as shown by his stats) and won a Cup
Same can happen with Matt, as much as many hate on him, he was 7-2 when he got hurt (should have been 8-1 if not for that T.O collapse) so he can win...as shown by his record since Banjo Bowl 2016 when he took over

Read in the Sun today that sometime last week the entire team watched a Mike O'Shea highlite reel montage. It looked like the entire team dialed up their  own version of Mike O'Shea on Sunday. 

Collaros!!!!!!

Funny how you regret the things you do when you're drunk.  😲 

I agree he may be asking for a little too much. In my opinion Collaros would be the best option with Strev and McGuire.

Wowza. I like hearing that.

Collaros!!!!!!

If were in an apologetic mood (it's so Canadian of us) than we also need to apologize to Kyle Walters.  I remember when he was promoted to the GM. Many on here were upset that he was promoted without an exhaustive search for a more seasoned GM.  And yes we had some lean years early on but man this team was decimated by previous regimes that knew nothing about building a stable franchise.  Rome wasn't built in a day and fixing all the problems with this team took awhile but finally paid off over the past 2 - 3 seasons.   I'm still not completely sold with the scouting staff but I'm seeing improvements there too. I've been out spoken about Danny Mac's scouting team and how they have yet to find the game breaker receiver and a QB prospect that could be our #1 for years to come. 
I was on board with Walters from the beginning as I always thought who better to rebuild our Cdn talent then a Cdn who played the game. And knowing Wade Miller from previous business dealing I knew he wouldn't hire someone just because it was the easy thing to do. He would have had to share the same vision as Miller on how to rebuild the team and franchise as a place where players wanted to play.  
Good hire and IMO the one person who is most responsible for this championship team. 

I wonder how many have already been signed but not announced?

I hope he has a chance to lose 1 game as a Bomber next season.   But just 1. 17-1 baby!!!!!
