[Redblacks @ Argos / Stampeders @ Leos - Rick Campbell's Last Stand & Race For The East]

 

I'm going to lay my money down that he is.  Since when did any coach keep their job after only winning two games with a highly favorable expansion draft?

 

The last coach who coached an expansion team who only won 2 games (Dom Capers) got fired immediately, there's no way Campbell stays after that gong show he put on this year.  I'm gonna bet the whole lotto on that.

 

I got one better - as a coach I survived not one but TWO 2 - 14 seasons, back to back, with an existing club. Granted, I was a legend in that town, and was fired after the second year, but I learned. I went on to be a very successful Coach in Edmonton and Hamilton, winning a Grey Cup in each city as a coach, in between my gigs as a color commentator on the CBC. Do you know who I am?

 

 

The little general.

This is it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well this is it in terms of 2 things

 

1.  On a small note Rick Campbell has to win tonight to keep his job which even then is unlikely.

 

2.  For the Argos, it's a win and MAYBE in scenario.  Covered in the other playoff thread but to resimplify it, if the Argos win tonight they stay alive for now creating an "all the marbles" situation in Hamilton tomorrow.  Montreal is in regardless but they and the Tiger Cats are both gonna fight for the East host spot.  And either SSK or BC will come over to play them.

 

So for Toronto it's........

 

Lose = Out and Hamilton in

Win = In with a Hamilton loss, out with Hamilton win

 

It all starts tonight

Why do you think Campbell will lose his job?  Going into the season no one thought the Redblacks would be in the playoffs and would be lucky to win no more than a few games.  Unless the owner thinks he's incompetent, he should be given at least one more year to show how much he can do with so little.

Just like us, Ottawa needs to build up their national depth. Trading picks will hurt them way more than they can benefit from Tate.

Also, if they wanted Tate why would they not have taken him in the expansion draft?

 

 

He wasn't available.  He was protected.

Whoever made the decision to move Morley to center extended his career by several years and turned a mediocre guard into a stellar center.

 

Other than that, I'm not impressed. The OL isn't the gong show some make it out to be but it's very inconsistent and very underwhelming.

It all has to do with talent. A coach's IQ goes up when he has good players & down when he doesn't. Look at the OL coach in Calgary that coached here the past few seasons. He has great players right down that line there & Cornish to boot. Yet here he was mediocre. He didn't simply become a very good OL coach overnight. He's working with more talented players in calgary than he ever did with the Bombers. 

 

I was going to comment, but this sums it up for me.  Give Wylie me, you and 3 other guys off this forum as his starters and i don't care how good a coach he is, we won't win.

Did Lirim punt at all?

No.

 

He punted twice.  One for 45 yds and one for 40.  According to CFL stats.
