I think Chamblin wanted  his coaches back something like a month earlier & Dickenson said no. So, he was fired & went to Edmonton where Chris Jones had just been hired. That was Chamblin's final year as Riders HC. He became dictatorial & eventually lost the locker room. Hopefully, he learned a huge lesson out of all that & will treat his assistants & players in Toronto a lot better. 

Once a dictator, always a dictator.

Look at the admins at riderfans.com. Perfect example of the above. :)

A direct quote from RF.com

"Given the "new" CFL timing standard for promoting other teams assistants it's quite obvious it's too late for a new OC this year especially as there's likely no one sufficiently qualified for that role on Rider staff now. IMHO, Mcadoo gets the year at least."

Funny how 2 days ago it's easy to just give up your OC to another team and find a new one. Happens all the time. Now it's too late to find one? And this isnt the only person saying this.

Yeah, typical Riderfans.  Criticize the Bombers saying it's just an excuse then use the reverse logic on theirs.

Dickenson became the Bombers special teams co-ordinator after he was fired in Saskatchewan. He went to Edmonton the next season.

A little slower but he should be fine. Jalen Saunders recovery from ACL tear is more of a concern.

Yes about Saunders,  I was just thinking when watching banks after he got hurt how much in his face you could see how much he did not like the pain.  A little bit of fear can totally throw some off later in their careers

Dressler can be replaced.  Age & injuries have caught up to him. Short term, he can put together a string of 4 or 5 games where he can be dominant but he can't play an entire season which hurts us more than helps us. There are some very good veteran receivers that could come here & be more productive. I think the Bombers should look at upgrading the slot position where he plays.

Ellingson,  Dressler and Roosevelt will be interested in what figure HAM and Banks arrived at.

I can't imagine Dressler or Roosevelt get anything close to what Banks is worth. Both are breaking down and less productive when they are healthy. 

It's possible Roosevelt has another big season in him if he plays in a better offense, but it's hard to see him staying healthy for more than half a season.
