Mr Dee Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 This sets up a classic confrontation in Week 13 when Jones and the Riders travel to Hamilton to take on the mighty Jones and the Ticats. June Jones wouldn't happen to be from Indiana now would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) @TSNDaveNaylor .@TSN_Marsh Without trying to stoke the Johnny Manziel to Hamilton buzz ... he and June Jones would certainly be familiar with each other. @TSNDaveNaylor .@TSN_Marsh June Jones coached at SMU when Manziel was in high school and then atTexas A and M.

do or die Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Even back at the Cats opener,.............. noted ZC's negitive body language. Since then, looked like a few players checked out - Austin had somehow lost this bunch, and his O was getting Collaros killed. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I read that Johnny had never read a playbook before going to the NFL. Little I saw of him, that's what it looked like. Also, weak arm. Standard American media hype job. Kind of the anti Matt Nichols. johnny would be horrible in the CFL.

Say what you will about Berry or Lapo .. but Mike has grown into the role and we are seeing why he was so highly regarded. He, Walters and Miller have really helped change the culture of this organization. We are only now just reaping the benefits.

I dare say best coach since Dave Ritchie, though sadly that doesn't really set the bar too high seeing as Berry was the previous holder of that distinction and after him it's a wasteland.

voodoochylde Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 It just goes to show though that, organizationally, we are starting to make the right decisions and are allowing individuals to develop and grow in the roles they've been placed in. For too long we were knee jerk .. making changes because we didn't realize the success we wanted .. these guys committed to doing things their way and are allowing it to play out, regardless of the outside pressure. It's paying dividends. Noeller, MOBomberFan, The Classic and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Don't wanna count any chickens before the eggs have hatched, but I remember reading this piece on Wade Miller when he first got hired for the job, talking about how the guy has basically never failed at anything he's ever set his mind to. The Booster Juice franchise into the whole Pinnacle Staffing thing...he's always been successful. You might not always agree with his methods, and I know personally of people who quit the WBB FC (behind the scenes office gigs...accountants, etc....) because of him, but, if the guy has indeed built a long-term successful brand, then you can't argue with the results...

The fact he wears both hats gives it the optics of self preservation. Not my favorite coach, but i do respect him as one. The move is a good one for the team so good on him for doing what's right.

Austin's sole title is now VP of football operations if I'm not mistaken. SPuDS, blue_gold_84 and Goalie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
