For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

Only people that are hyper reactive were looking to get rid of O'Shea or Walters.

a fact is a statement that can be proven true or false... an opinion is an expression of a person’s feelings that cannot be proven...

it's really not that complicated... 

 

o·pin·ion

/əˈpinyən/

 

noun

 

1. a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    

   Not making up one's own definition of a word is usually a good starting point for discussion.

I said Nichols wasn't as tough as others who play the game,  an then you asked if that was because of his parents,  I basically said who else would be responsible for his genes. .  And his quick turtling at times might make people question his courage.  My opinion was that we wouldn't win a grey cup with Nichols as the QB.

And therein lies part of the problem.  We have moved from things like dictionaries to "cheat sheets" because facts matter less and less.

yeah, it becomes a necessary evil when people aren't smart enough to interpret or understand the definition provided by a dictionary...

An opinion can most certainly be wrong. 

You have the right to have your incorrect opinion.

We have the right to point out how wrong it is

I'll make it real simple for ya all... if you can prove that the statement below wasn't how I felt, or for that matter, still feel, I'll concede that I was wrong, otherwise, you all are just being dicks...

"it's time to pass out apples and road maps to all three of them, MOS, Lapo, and Hall... well, after the playoffs anyway..."

You can have that opinion.  It's just a really really dumb one, in my opinion.  It's dumb because you haven't been a fan long enough to remember the Blue Bombers merry-go-round of failure, which amounted to having a re-roll of personnel every 2-3 years.  By the way, here's a fact for you:  with the new salary cap structure for coacing staff, firing three people at once would be just about as dumb a move as you could possibly make because if would have a severe impact on coaching salaries for several years.

If my opinion is that it is warmer in Winnipeg than Nairobi in the month of January, my opinion is wrong.

It is really that simple.

Opinions can be misinformed, making them fundamentally wrong.

you know what? I have no problem with you disagreeing or having a different opinion than mine... in fact, I can even appreciate your different point of view... but, you can't say that how I feel isn't how I feel, regardless of whether you think I'm right or wrong...

not true, because you making a statement of fact, not opinion, that it is warmer in Winnipeg than Nairobi in the month of January... something that can easily be disproved by a simple google search... it is really that simple...

In my opinion the facts are wrong.

People confuse the fact that they are entitled to an opinion with the idea that because they can have an opinion that it's also true. 

Not the case. Opinions can and are frequently wrong no matter how you feel about them

They aren't. You demonstrate it with astonishing regularity.

no, people confuse the fact that when they include a element of an actual fact to support their opinion that it's no longer merely an opinion and can be wrong because the fact you included to justify your opinion is wrong...

Was there ever a serious argument that they aren't?

That is what I have been saying. The existence of an opinion cannot be true or false. The content certainly can.

care to explain what the hell that means?

can you prove that? you are not providing an opinion, that is a statement of fact... you seriously can't see the difference?
