Willy may well be done with the Bombers. He has lost his starting job and if Nichols shows any promise, Willy will not get it back. Willy is being paid to be a top-5 quarterback and I cannot see the Bombers keeping him around as a backup for that kind of money. A head coach who was previously a good QB, like Kent Austin might be able to help Willy revive his career, but some of the intangibles that a good QB needs cannot be taught.

While Walters deserves his share of the blame, O'Shea has made enough obvious mistakes that were his alone that he has disqualified himself as the head coach. He is the first that has to be changed.

And just look how well that has turned out.

I am not advocating for LaPolice- that ship sailed a long time ago- but could LaPolice conceivably be worse than O'Shea?

Lets not drag religion into this.

ironically, if Nichols stinks the joint out, it might buy O'Shea more time because that could be interpreted as "we have no competent starter quarter backs, so its not the coaches' fault. " If Nichols does well, O'Shea can be legitimately asked why didn't this happen sooner?

We might have a jewel or two in Davis and Bennett but how will we ever know unless Willy is dismembered and Nichols flops?

Obvious or oblivious?

Apparently the weather office of Environment Canada has issued an alert: In the event of tornado sighting near Winnipeg, residents are advised to rush to IGF Field as there is little chance of a touchdown there.

Yep. We're flocked alright.

Not your circus, not your monkeys?

Heck, I couldn't tell between 15,000 and 16,000.

ISO was way out.

At this point, I daresay that the Bombers would be doing as well with Castillo as Medlock, and Medlock would fetch a much better return, being a proven premier kicker.

Do I detect a note of sarcasm here?

I would bet the Bombers could get a heckuva price for Medlock in a trade to either Toronto or Montreal right now.

Not true. Here it is:

We had best keep our expectations low. Very low. This team has to have to confidence of a fawn in the middle of a freeway these days.

Lawless usually knows what he's talking about, pass around the personal lubricant- we're screwed.

No.

Do we have any empirical proof that the Bombers hired on the cheap with Walters and O'Shea? I rather doubt it, and I would also bet that Hufnagel, Maas and Campbell did not sign as HC's for king's ransoms either. They may be entitled to raises in time once they have proven themselves, but everyone has to start somewhere. Bad hires are bad hires and a lot of big corporations, including IBM have hired turkeys.

Reinbold was the embodiment of the Peter Principle at play. A great defensive coach, but that's where his talent ended.

I'm in. Where do I send $ to?

Did Matt Dunigan not walk into the same situation in Calgary?
