Till we wrecked his career out of desperation stupidity Yip..need to slap whoever puts in the request for these guys...and if osh puts Corcoran ahead of Clercius again he should be shot as well -

Dynasty teams win 4...5 cups...we weren't that...a good team...yip...realized its true potential...heck no..and that was self inflicted And yeah you can be nice until its time not to be...we lost that message internally focused on looking back and gushing about the past..and where we came from before we turned it around...totally ignoring what was the now and the whats and why's for it And it wasn't over the course of 1 yr...that's the issue and what makes anyone think they (he) can change...or is even capable/willing? This stench is more on osh than the other 2...only stench on them is not kicking him to curb...or stepping in and laying down some law and say..make the changes...or resign if u wont They also know what they signed up for and how business works..produce in a what u done for me now situation...or your gonna be replaced...just like the players he cuts...same thing...no sympathy for a coach in any league that fails...none 100 percent... Spitty McEygouge Williams Ritchie...nicest.. kindest guy ever...family man..loved and respected by players..staff...volunteer help...opened his home to anyone..father figure to many a player...canned how many times?? Nature of the beast He also was an accomplished position coach and coordinator and coukd create scheme and systems..Osh...not even close to that May be biased as know Ritchie quite well and know Osh as the player and was the polar opposite almost of what he preaches...classic do as I say not as I do(did) kinda scenario None the less...good people get canned...always and forever in sports

Id rather they be knobs but allstars Nice guys finish last...or lose embarrassingly in playoffs...like we have witnessed Character and niceness should never trump talent...I don't mean guys like the pest and that fool DB Marshall in sask...and the like...but a loner...nose to.grindsrone guy...plays on edge but doesn't hurt team...agitator...we need several Also some thumpers on defence...especially secondary...attitude adjusters towards opponents...enough of the smurphs and waifs...but again...that's on Osh and what he thinks is ideal

Our pay structure is way outta whack..and monies alloted in big bucks where u usually pay the least But osh values his out dated vets in a lot of those spots...so it screws our overall roster Worked well when those guys were prime garde A beef...but they ain't...but we still pay and play many like they are...he needs 5 upside the head to clue him into reality If OC guy is back...BO is good as gone...and hopefully osh by labor day for that stupidity -

What stars other than BO? We pay inadequate...never were great..and long in tooth guys more than most teams...that's our issue We really don't have any more real stars here...or difference makers...especially on defence In all honesty...Joe pop would be decent...but not the player he was then tho Milt and Blink...they'd get the cheddar I can see psrt of your argument...but like osh...u look backwards Winning seasons that result in continued stupid failures when it matters...over and over...who reups that? And we been in regression too...each yr And winning...what we won of late? -

Lotsa guys in college have way better "stats" doesn't translate all time to success Just looking at the metrics...smallish...slow...not really outstanding in any real aspect...so not a exciting signing...but if he blows doors off everyone in camp..gets a legit opp to bump off say a Stearns..Wheatfall...a subpar Canadian...hello Corcoran...initiating a shift in ratio...great....but we also have to factor in Osh as HC...So there is also the rub...until he changes his idealogy...who cares who we sign...I have zero faith in the best 24 will start until something happens to make me think otherwise We need a Coxie type...Alford...Hatcher...not another mid sized possession guy with average speed....or a real burner who can take a hitch or a short crosser anywhere on the field and to the house at any instance...especially with ZC The rub...what the scouts see..and the potential and eye for talent...and what Osh sees...2 different planes -

And drag our feet on an actual OC only to promote an unqualified and lousy internal incumbent...yippee Kinda like what we doing now...but we didnt drag our feet on this..time will tell if it was a bad decision...we will either be 3 yrs in the abyss with same ol same ol and 3 yrs longer get back to it...have to cut bait mid contract and eat that cost and be even further behind the 8 ball....or he has learned something in his 12 yrs...with 2 cups..and 10 fails...jury out on that tho...and they (he) turns it around with how he manages the squad...I see a 33% chance of success until proven otherwise And no...making playoffs...or barely making it only to lose again in playoffs with similar issues.. that's not success -

Part of issues are TC and guys having their spot carved in cement regardless of what goes on in camp...that needs to change as does guys maintaining their spot...guys here have had zero worry about that...and that initself is a cancer so to speak..as deserving players see it...work your ass off..get better...actually be better...but if u not in the old boys club or a Osh favorite....u stuck in PR land...ive never seen so much of this in my life in football...and that's in 30 yrs involved in game playing...and training/coaching/recruiting on both sides of the border ....baffles me. -

Yeah...just this past season shouldn't have been the indicator for them to perk up and realize..."wow...we have issues" this been almost 4 yrs in making...hence the little faith in Osh turning it around unless he was re-upped with extreme conditions and if the same ol same ol is occurring then best get yiur cardboard boxes ready to pack up your crap Actually...Ford would have stayed and not for as much as edm gave...but a significant bump none the less We just basically gave in and accepted he would leave..and really good thing as we are severely overpaying in our secondary as it was...like almost 600k into Nichols...Holm...Kramdi is crippling as it is and poor use of sms and assets...bad roster management We would have been just as good if not better with paying Nichols and replacing Holm and Kramdi...Kramdi isnt even needed as a ratio piece...we pay huge for him and cause Osh loves the Canadian/underdog...If Kramdi was an import...he would not be starting based on what he offers...and i don't see another team in the league that would dump their sam for him and his price tag...its things like that which all add up to our roster and depth dysfunction...and its Osh induced... Thomas and Kolo gobbling up prob 300k between them for their pathetic performance...but they Osh's bois and we tied to them...hopefully that's a "were " tied to them -

We had incompetence tho above in the board running crap...and poor football people as prez...etc...we don't have that now so replacing a hc wouldn't have been an issue I'm more concerned now that osh won't deviate from his ways...and we will lose out on guys due to it..and still neglect player development over his personal favs...Maybe he...and lesser extent Walter's were given a bit of a directive/direction from Wade..Hopefully and guess early moves come Jan will show as so...but the extension of OC guy...early signings like last yr of garbage like Thomas...not cutting/releasing others in early Jan to show we going after legit FA talent.. then buckle up for more the same and fighting to just get to 3rd at best You should have asked the real questions...put him on the spot...I woulda -

i'd rather have a rookie make the odd mistake...and learn and develop than an old guy who justv doesnt have it....or a coach's fav who has no business as a starter...that also equates to losses...likely more, and at same time you arent building depth -

risky move....and too much weight given to what he accomp0lished 5 yrs ago now...and since...we been regressing Making playoffs is great....losing for inexcusable and easily preventable reasons is an issue....Osh wont change hu=is ways ....hasnt in 12 yrs. People say he and Walters have earned the right to fix things....well why did they break it in first place?....and since 2021 have had 4 yrs now to "fix" it and if anything we got worse Guess we have to wait and see and give benefit of doubt...Maybe Miller re-upped with the caveat you show a change...or you will be canned The month of January will pretty much dictate the 2026 season with who some the first re-signings are....and if Walter's doesnt get on the podium and state that we are moving on from a whack of guys from the "glory days" half a decade ago now and we moving in a new direction...with that the announcement sooner than later that OC Guy is not coming back but failing to do that....status quo with coaching and how we run camp/practices and award spots with nary a competition.....the early signing of Thomas types...can see a ZC extension as well....among other dumb moves....well 2026 gonna be more the same I have little faith in Osh until he show's different...and if he does he will get my praise for it...I never dumped on him pre 2019...but since 2023 and the continuous blunders that lead to where we are....he has done nothing to get much praise as it got worse yr over yr...so not holding my breath I do expect some guys we dont wanna see leave ....leave tho thing is....RB is a real poor place to have your marque salary in a Canadian where you can get the same or even better production from an import at 1/3 the cost....and who in the CFL pays anything close to what BO gets here? We coulda payed Dobson...easily...but we tied whacks of money into guys Osh valued more....who were not worth it....it's how you allocate money...and where....not so much to who....RB....DB.....LB....Boundary receiver. we have excessive money tied into RB...DB....LB....and it kills us elsewhere...
