Are you referring to the time they then fired said two head coaches, and replaced them with an interim head coach, who also happened to be the boss of the GM?

Assistant coaches are the scapegoats in Saskie this offseason.

FWIW, Ben Heenan is now rightfully on the Riders FA list

Big re-signing for the Bombers. 
 
Shows that a guy who could potentially play in the NFL is committed to the franchise. Other players will take note for sure.

Why would anybody love Pat White CFL QB?

Ryan Dinwiddie potentially calling the plays for Kevin Glenn? I like it.

Speaking of Mike Kelly, he is Head Coach at Widener University in NCAA Div III... they are 12-0 right now. Widener U is where Pat Quinn (RIP) got a law degree from.

Any team can sign him off waivers, if he goes unclaimed, he will be on the Bears IR.

Mariota plays for Oregon (*spit*)

Tough to recruit in Oregon when you got a perennial top 5 program in your back yard. Good move to go to a school where you might have a easier time getting the big time recruits and bring a very historic program back to the national championship picture.

Dickenson we can take off. Buono is on record saying he wants an offensive guy, though he will still interview Steinauer by the sounds of it.
 
I'd bank on LaPo or Garcia with Barrett as a wildcard.

I don't think the Bombers have a great offensive line, but to put the blame squarely on them isn't accurate. Willy was sacked plenty in Saskatchewan too, and most would agree they have a satisfactory front.
 
Willy was sacked every 8.2 dropbacks this season. When he played in Saskatchewan he was sacked every 9.2 dropbacks.
 
Brian Brohm was sacked every 18.5 dropbacks in relief this season, Robert Marve 1 time in 23 dropbacks.
 
Not all the QB's fault either, obviously, but a little perspective.
 
Also, FWIW, Durant was sacked every 13.1 dropbacks (44) last season. Willy would have equated to about 63 sacks last year, only three less than he did this year.

That sucks. He was very close to the top of my FA wishlist.
 
Poblah I mean, not Westerman.

Bombers have 42 turnovers, and given up 94 points off of them.
 
In wins: 14 turnovers (2.3/g), 16 points off (2.7/g)
In losses: 28 turnovers (3.1/g), 78 points off (8.7/g)
 
Offence has turned the ball over atleast once in every game with a breakdown of:
1 - 1
2 - 8
3 - 3
4+ - 3
 
Bombers have 28 takeaways, and scored 69 points off of them.
 
In wins: 16 takeaways (2.7/g), 53 points off (8.8/g)
In losses: 12 takeaways (1.3/g), 16 points off (2.7/g)
 
Defence has taken the ball away in 12 of 15 games, with a breakdown of:
1 - 4
2 - 3
3 - 3
4+ - 2
 
The Bombers are 3-0 in games with less turnovers. That's obvious, everyone knows that teams are more likely to win.
 
Here's the issue. They're 3-0 in games with less turnovers and they've played 15.... They have lost the turnover battle in 11 of those other 12 games and have a record of 3-8.
 
Now, if it was 1 turnover per game and they were losing, blame the defence perhaps for not doing their share in the turnover battle. But when - in 14 games, you have turned the ball over multiple times, that is clearly a problem.
 
Let's make that clear.
 
The Bombers have a record of 3-8 when losing the turnover battle. The rest of the league is 4-49. Four wins. The Bombers have three.
 
While the defence hasn't been spectacular, they have certainly done their job in having the Bombers at 6 wins, when they should, or could have 3 or 4.

Current CFL guys I would consider. Keyword consider. Also does not include those currently working as Coordinators.
 
Jarious Jackson - Esks QB
Pete Costanza - Stamps WR
Marcus Crandell - Redblacks QB
 
Tony Missick - Stamps DB
Barron Miles - Riders DB

Quarterback wins is the most overrated stat there is.

Dan LeFevour hasn't played in two months and he still leads the team in rushing yards. That tells you all you need to know about the Tiger-Cats and the amount of times they run the ball in a game.
 
There was a time late last season when Gable rushed for over 300 yards in 3 games, and then saw the ball 7 times over the following three games.

Ask the Oilers how drafting "superstars" has worked out for them.
