New broom sweeps clean. I think that the new lion coach will want his own people on board. Most likely he has some names south of the border he'd like to entertain. Having said that, the leos have not made any moves to clear the decks completely, as Khari and Washington are still around. That could change quickly however. I think Washington could garner some interest here if he becomes available.

Does anyone know if Bene. was in town for a meeting? I know Claybrooks was.
-
I see that Claybrooks was listed as a possible candidate for dc. Meeting took place according to source. ( I wonder if it's posted enough times will it become fact)
-
LOL Mike. I see that American ignorance about our country still runs rampant. Back in the day I took out a girl from New York who thought that Canada was run by the queen. This was a girl going to college and it made me wonder if they knew anything at all about us. I don't think much has changed over the years. The imports coming up here (okay internationals) sure get wide eyed when they find out that we're not just some outpost near Alaska.
-
Excellent news. I sure like the fact we're gaining a lot of continuity on D. Keep it going Walters.
-
The inevitable has taken place after the club tanked so bad in the last part of the season. Moving on from Etch. is certainly a positive. Now, who takes his place? Glad to see we've cleared the way and can get in the hunt. Finally. My money is on Hall BUT IF Washington is available in B.C....??? could we go that route.
-
WOW ...just wow. IF this is gospel then we have rid ourselves of one problem (Banks) and one remains. We just cannot go forward with this clown (Etch). I often wondered what happened between the club and Banks. Something didn't sit well when all of this went down. Maybe there's a damn good reason Etcheverry doesn't stay employed , even in the college ranks. O'Shea and Walters better deal with this one fast. As for Korey.....yeah we luv you too. This is just bull$hit.
-
Great news for the o line and a guy you want for continuity. Underrated and certainly will shine brighter when we add some fa talent (hopefully).
-
A solid signing and bodes well for the future of this club. Now,,go get Wild and Sears on the dotted line Walters, and we can concentrate on other needs.
-
IF being near his donut franchises in Detroit has any bearing, I say he heads back east, just not with the Redblacks and most likely with the Als.
-
I think ol Joes penchant for picking up pop cans after the games. put him in a bad light. Don't know why though, Joe being that green could have been a fit with the team next door. I believe he's tending a garden somewhere.

You can bet a guy like Tilman keeps tabs on players like Reed and cashes in when the time is right. Although viewed as some sort of pariah, Tilman stills knows football and funnels a lot of talent the cats' way. Too bad we didn't follow this guy long enough to bring him back. We missed the boat..again.
Had nothing to do with Tillman.
Reinbold coached him in college.
Didn't know that but like the Bombers I didn't follow him that close. I would have thought Eric the Red would have something to do with bringing him in. Guess he wasn't in the know like I thought. Much like us.

IF we stick with the failed coaching staff of 2014 AND with all of the coaching talent being rumoured to more than likely being available, WOW. Giant fail once again in the Peg. We have clubs making changes, some wholesale changes AND clubs that have been a heck of a lot more successful than us recently, you have to wonder. Are we content to stick with the status quo and watch everyone leave us behind once again. I'm betting not too many fans are going to be happy with that and we'll be deep sixed again for a long time. This offseason is crunch time for this club and what I'm seeing already is not looking good.
-
What do we hear next that Etch. is also returning. IF true there are going to be a lot of empty seats at IGF. Brutal is an understatement.
-
Sounds like there might be a big housecleaning in Sask. Hall and Dyce could be out as well as Cortez. IF true, I've always thought Ritchie was a very good DC. I wouldn't be opposed to him joining our staff. Roumerville is heating up rapidly.
-
next update, surely, "...Ray to Ottawa...."
-
The 'friend' thing and nepotism does not belong in pro sports. Never should've happened in the first place. Certainly when it comes to an experienced CFL coach, it is a leg-up BUT only if that coach is seen to be successful. Neither of these guys, Marcel or Etch. fits that bill. They are far from proven and their learning and accomplishment curve seems to be quite drawn out, as far as I'm concerned. Miller most likely wants a change and can see a lot of empty seats IF that isn't done. Walters is probably torn but if he can't get O'Shea on side with a change then I hate to say it, we may be looking for more than DC and OC. We seem to be always starting from scratch around here, we might as well have the right people in place going forward. I really like Mike but he's going to have to bite it on this one. His OC and DC aren't credible to a large number of Wpg. fans.
-
No surprise as far as Bene goes. 50-17 in a playoff game will get you ticket out of town but that was just the icing on the cake. Benevides was in trouble all year and was not a popular guy in the locker room. I don't know what his record as dc was for the leos but it had to be pretty good as their defence was stalwart for a handful of years. Big changes in B.C. ,will there be a few here as well??
-
The GM and coach are also good budz. I think they'll work things out and have to give Etch. the pink slip. IF they don't we'll be looking like we don't want change and poor to mediocre will be the order of the day as far as DC goes. Another failed year and O'Shea will be looking for work as well. Sometimes the hard decisions are part of the coaching maturing process. Let's hope they get it right.
-
Messam has been around longer than Fitzgerald, and has shifted around from team to team. Apparently his attitude isn't that great. I don't think he fits the mold of an O'Shea team and after purging ourselves of some bad attitude do we really want to go down that road again. No thanx, pass on Messam. If Fitzgerald doesn't bring it this coming tc. go in another direction.
-
Dante Marsh done in B.C. More to follow I would imagine. I'm a little surprised they haven't started with the coaching ranks.
-
I think I would like to see Messam instead of Fitzgerald as FB.
Why is it that when Messam changes uni's he looks great for awhile then disappears. I think we'd be better off sticking with Fitzgerald and bring him along.
-
Excellent news on Zach. I was really po'd when he went down and knew we would suffer on the D with his absence. I also thought he would be a little miffed when we released his brother BUT the true professionalism of the guy has shone through. Now to nail down Wild and the rest of the pieces should fall into place.

Sad to hear of his passing. He sure was a mainstay on Grants winners back in the day. They used to call him 'tricky Dicky' and the handle sure fit. Controversial at times but a winner for sure. He was as versatile as hell and even punted in a game for us as I recall.
