it started by allowing that lunatic Chris Jones back into the fold.  Imagine if that idiot was brought in to replace the Canadian mafia?  IGF would become a ghost town too.  The team before Jones was a  dumpster fire too. Edmonton has been stepping on rakes now for too long.

and they brought Wally on as a consultant to help, and Wally said DON'T DO IT.... and they STILL DID IT.......... **** sakes. They deserve what they get.

He did a tremendous job as a co founder and ceo of ONE championship. He’s a world class sports professional with a deep passion for the elk. 

Pretty much nails it - the Elks and the league in general. 
 

He is a forward thinking guy with a proven track record - and he actually cares. 
 

Also has been doing crazy things - like listening to the fan base.

Riders media are absolute gems..............

 

Good luck with all this, Dickie.......good luck. 

It’s insane how they made that point and missed the giant elephant in the room and source of the toxic waste heap. Also how is their ol fixed? They went with their 5th choice oc after getting rejected by every one. 5 win team. Less if Harris goes down.

All jokes aside?  With exception of Trevor Harris,  who did they bring in to replace the massively depleted depth and sub par starters?    It wasn't like the team was only a few players away from being great.   That team needed a complete overhaul.

Dickenson: "I'm going to focus on being a head coach this year."

Was gonna say...he's actually gonna put in the requirements of a HC

And man...that's reaching bigtime with those claims...not sure what they addressed..that online is still garbage...picking up other teams castoffs isn't gonna make u better...maybe better than what you were..but not by much...and not better than teams ahead of you

Harris isn't a hitch your wagon too and let him carry you to prosperity type guy...walker..lenius..weineke..and..whatever else they dress scares nobody...the db's there..same thing..and when you have a doofuss like Marshal as the vet leader you in a world of hurt...they will have a hard time fending off the Elks for last place

Starting with HC and GM...which they didn't address

Victor Cui is absolutely part of the solution in Edmonton.  The problem is their board of geniuses hired Jones and then Cui in a completely ass-backward move 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bo Levi takes that personal 

At least Bo doesn't wilt and do the turtle like Harris under pressure and duress...he's prob the biggest wuss of all the league QB's...and behind the mess of an O-line...and the growing pains of trying to implement a new system..with a new O.C and basically all new skilled position guys save for Lenius...who apparently has issues with grasping a playbook and making the basic routes look easy...theres a recipe for 5 wins

though he probably SHOULD...that shoulder is ****** and not getting better. Also think he's had more "happy feet" moments in the last few years than he ever did before. He took a **** ton of abuse the last few years in Cgy and it LOOKS like it's taken a toll on him. We'll see what he looks like in his new environs this year...

are they playing themselves five times?  LOL

I could see them ekeing out a win against Edmonton and Ottawa, but man it's basically 2013 Winnipeg over there right now.

far and away the worst OL in the league.... was not addressed. And now have arguably the most immobile QB in the league. Great ******* decision making JOD....

I 100% believe that Harris is a much better fit for them than CoFaj.

If they are actually self-aware, and plan and around their offensive weaknesses, they can certainly be better than Edmonton, Montreal, and Ottawa and make the play-offs. That's their absolute ceiling, however.

thing is tho...the Faj was able to make things happen and extend drives cause he could get outta harms way...for the most part until last yr when he just looked hopeless....Harris cant do that....and the Faj had ball out of his hands pretty quickly to do those screens...hitches..etc....Likely what Harris' main thing will be right away as they try to install a new system...and behind their o-line...I see no hope in hell there over course of a full yr
