So who would you bring in... if this team loses the Banjo Bowl, there will be blood...

My dream team for 2019:

Tom Clements - HC/GM - if he could develop Aaron Rodgers...  major connections in NFL - will bring in a legit scouting staff

Bob Dyce - Asst HC/ST - promo in $$ and role - Cdn scouting guru

Mark Nelson - DC 

Barrin Simpson - Asst DC/LB

Markus Howell - OC - long-time CFL foot soldier... time for him to step up

HC Devon Claybrooks 

Not sure if he would be a good candidate- he's just been diagnosed with diabetes and he's carrying a lot of extra weight, so his ability to work 16 hour days is iffy.

He got the beetus

Haha, he'll be getting 7 figures USD to be an OC in NCAA or NFL for the next 20 years. 

Actually kind of funny all the QB's we dressed in the 07 Grey Cup have already gone on to pretty good coaching careers.  Kingsbury, Dinwiddie is coaching BLM with the Stamps, Zac Taylor is the QB coach for the LA Rams and is actually Mike Sherman's son in-law.

Dinwiddie would probably be top of my list to be our next OC.  Didn't think he was awful calling plays for Montreal, had awful QB's for sure.  Has worked with Dickenson for 3 seasons now, if anything rubs off there we'd be laughing.

I can't see MOS getting fired.  I think both co-ordinators are due for replacement.  3 seasons is a pretty long stretch for coordinators.

Dinwiddie is a pretty interesting idea...

Not sure that Lapo isn't HC with Dinwiddie OC though...

Lapo won’t be head coach.  If, HUGE IF, Lapo is head coach no credible CFL OC would come here.

In that situation I assume Buck just gets promoted. 

I don't want Lapo as HC. To be honest, I think MOS lasts until next season and Lapo may be the HC for BC next year.

Hence the Dinwiddie connection...

I don't think anyone believes that between Dickenson and BLM that Dinwiddie is actually calling the plays...

All this talk of replacing coaches and such is SO premature. 

You don't fire or replace a HC who just ends a 30yr drought and wins the Grey Cup- that is ******* asinine. 

Oh god if we do lose our minds and fire MOS it better not be Lapo again. I have no desire to see a team playing just well enough to lose again.

Well...maybe third time's the charm.

Walters the GM and O'Shea the Head Coach came into this thing together 5 years ago. 5 years is a long time.

Walters' job is to bring in the players and he has brought in some good ones, especially Canadian talent, but has it been enough? How does his work compare to that of John Hufnagel, Ed Hervey, Brock Sunderland, Chris Jones, Eric Tillman, Kavis Reed,  Marcel Desjardins, and Jim Popp?

O'Shea's job is to coach and to get the most out of his players. How does his work compare to that of June Jones, Mike Sherman, Rick Campbell, Marc Trestman, Wally Buono, Dave Dickenson, Jason Maas, and Chris Jones?

I'll go first.

I'd put Walters ahead of only Kavis Reed and maybe Ed Hervey, but just barely.

I'd put O'Shea dead last. 

I'm curious how the rest of you see it.

Really? What has Lapo done to warrant a head coaching job here again? Isn't it about time we started hiring people at the top of the list instead of the bottom? That would just be change for change's sake.

How does LaPo replace MOS....when ultimately LaPo will be a contributing factor in MOS firing

I think O'Shea has reached his own level of incompetence.  It's called the Peter Principle. He brought the team up to the level it was at last season & now they're falling back. I believe from what I'veseen that he is absolutely incapable of delivering us a West Division Championship let alone a Grey Cup victory. Another head coach will have to do it. At the end of the season he will have had 5 complete seasons to get things done. If the Bombers continue their tailspin then he doesn't deserve to come back next year.

I dont really want a rookie HC again, but if it was gonna be any one itd be him. 

Hey can we at least see what happens the rest of the year before firing EVERYONE!?

 

I can't wait to rub every negative Nellie, debbie downer and Sally sadsack nose in **** when we win the Grey Cup.
