It's already been an incredible season and it's obviously not done,lots of players have come in and played absolutely phenomenal. Guys like Alexander,Alford, and a few others could be persued by the NFL(correct me if I'm worng about contracts etc.) And can't blame em. Were lucky that guys like Jefferson,Biggie,Jeffcoat are likely too old and will be staying. I guess we could add Castillo to that list but who goes and who surprisingly stays?

It would mean an incredible change to the standard of living of he and his family. Housing prices alone would make the move a non-starter. 

Yeah, there's absolutely no way they'd ever factor in cost of living to his salary and other job perks............................................

There is a cap for salaries though. I'm sure MLSE could find some other jobs for MOS, though. Like cutting the grass in the north end zone.

Dinwiddie ain't going anywhere,he's got the Argos in first and in line to win the division.

Walters has been here since what 2010? Likely owns a nice home, family involved in the community, likely not looking to move.

listen, all I'm saying is MOS is  Argos royalty. One of their all time greatest. He's born and raised in Ontario and spent his entire career there. I wouldn't blame the guy one iota if he eventually wanted to go there, and the idea that "well, housing is too expensive!" is laughable. That's not ever going to be an issue. 

As for Walters, also an Ontario guy whose entire life and career were there before coming to the Bombers. While less likely to leave, I still wouldn't be the least bit shocked if he did. And certainly wouldn't blame him.

But....these aren't things to worry about right now. Just enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts....

Oshea is loyal to his players to a fault.....I'd think he would expect the same thing of himself......He's not going anywhere

As long as Walters is the GM, O’Shea will not leave.

As long as Miller is tge CEO/Pres, Walters will not leave.

Miller said upon taking the job  that he will not leave until the Bombers won 2 Grey Cup.

Im expecting we will win the back to back Grey Cup and probably a very difficult off-season after this.

Edited October 20, 20214 yr by M.O.A.B.

I think it will be a challenging off season because they all are what with so many one year deals. Would be shocked if MOS or Walters left. Disagree on housing, well over a million for a home in the GTA. Factor for anybody, unless you play for the Leafs, Raptors or Jays.

O'Shea is now Bombers Royalty, too. He's literally one of half a dozen head coaches in franchise history to win a championship. Legendary status, IMO.

I can't see him leaving after what's been built here, at least not of his own volition. 

O'Shea made it clear that he considers Winnipeg home and so does his family.

He signed a three year contract with all this stuff being talked about after the Cup win.

He isn't going anywhere any time soon.

x2. I'm trying to be a sponge and just soak up this season for all it's worth. This is an incredibly rare thing we're witnessing...you don't want to miss a second of it. I still remember the 01 season and that remarkable 12 game win streak and how much fun that was week in, week out. 

I'll worry about off-season stuff after the fun is over....hopefully sometime in January...

If Chris Jones becomes a HC I wouldn't be surprised if Jefferson follows him

O'shea would probably want the Toronto job more than anything but no way Dinwiddie is going anywhere. Steinhauer in Hamilton isn't going anywhere either. He's ours! Leave our mans alone!!!!

I think the days of Jefferson following CJ are over- I think when Jefferson showed loyalty to CJ and resigned with the riders and then CJ just bolted to the NFL, that all left a real bad taste in his mouth.  I feel Osh is the kind of HC Jefferson's been looking for. 

 

I'm not sure Osh would go to TO, there is a lot less passion for the Argos than here- Osh has made it very clear that he views Winnipeg as a Football city and is very happy with it.

It is clear the Bombers are a top pick for guys to play based on 

-The team and coaching staff

-The front office

- The way the franchise treats players

-The stadium is second to none

-The fans are second to none

-The city is big enough/cost of living

We may lose some guys but plenty will be calling us up too.

O’Shea just fits Winnipeg well. I have erased his Argo days and he is a Winnipeger now. I think he loves coaching in front of big crowds in a city that really appreciates and loves CFL football. Makes me wonder if he knew what he knows now if he would of left Toronto in his plays days to play here.

Wade Miller also a big factor he gives them everything they need to win.

The cap really happens with MLSE and the Argo team...  had me fooled as of late!!!!

Some people don't move away and then pine for home the whole time.

We were a wasteland for *many* years and I cannot overstate how important the work Miller, Walters and O'Shea put in was to creating a culture of success.  FIFO?  Absolutely.

 Biggest mistake of your life so far...

One thing that I really should have noted in this discussion about MOS.......once one learns of the greatness of Manitoba, it's an extremely desirable place to live. MOS, like me, is a big outdoors guy....hunting, fishing, camping, etc......and Manitoba's as good as it gets for that stuff.

and don't forget about those "Skeeters".... all good, here in Manitoba... won't give it up

I hope he lives in a mansion and has a smoke show wife for everything he's done for us

I believe he's very involved in a men's soccer league and does some minor sports coaching as well.....he's quite involved in the community.
