Jeepers guys,
A guy shows up to say hi or report for his job as correspondent of TSN and you have him replacing the OC? How do you know he wasn't just taking in the festivities at IGF for FIFA and he just went over to say hi.
You guys are almost as bad as the BREAKING NEWS story that Michael Sam left TC in Montreal. Who cares. O'Shea isn't looking to change his staff any time soon this close to the season starting when everyone is happy with MB on staff. 
Give it up.

I live and breath this team. I even went to practice today to see what was up over there for Saturday's game.
That being said, my hopes weren't sky high for this team this year and my expectations weren't changed due to the start of the season as I watched this team for what they were.
My expectations never waivered. I wanted a better winning record and an all in effort for every game, win or lose. I knew that the offence was going to be rough all season and we would live or die by the performance of the defence.
This all happened.
Was I happy with every game? Heck no. Different reasons for different games. But I was never disappointed in the effort of this team. This team with help in certain areas will break this cycle. I also know we will get to the GC with this management team and this core but I also know we need time to get there. As long as there are no panic means to get there, we will do it. I'm not living on hope, I'm living in a realistic view of what this team needs to grow and therefore don't get all pissed off when a first year team don't make the playoffs.

Edmonton didn't do it in one season. If you recall before last season, they too blow up their team, got a rookie QB and sucked monkey bones last year. ALL they did last year was get rid of their coach but didn't touch the team itself. Therefore, it didn't take them one year to turn around, it took them two years. First year sucked and 2nd last place. During off season, they filled the holes and this year turn around. Let's give the Bombers at least 2 years as well before we call for heads. We had a lot of Canadian depth go down in the beginning of our season. Our problem isn't coaching here, it's OL, and defence. Let's see what Walters does in the off season to fix this and see how next year goes then.

Given the number of injuries, it makes me happy that we have extra time for recovery before the season starts.

Locked for obvious reasons.
