It really does seem that his roots are here and he may not want to move his family away right now. Would take some special circumstances 

Until he leaves, I am holding to the theory that he's our coach in waiting.

We don't know yet but he's going to be in Hamilton this week talking to teams. I would think Hamilton and Ottawa would be in on him. Honestly Montreal should be too. 

Regina and Calgary as well.

I can see that too...as can he...his life...family..business ventures are all solidly here...he has no reason to leave

Yeah when was the last time we filled a main coaching position from out side the team? Plop, who was here twice prior or hall? 
 Bourgoin has been here soo long. I’d bet any thing he becomes the co. At that point though I think we’d go out side the team to find a new qb coach and maybe some one to ast or qc the offence for Bourgoin. 
 
 Will buck leave, who knows honestly. It’s all about if buck wants the money and the ability to move up. Buck was here 4 years then gone one and been here 9 years since. I can’t see him leaving for any thing less than a great opportunity. I don’t see that being what sask has to offer. 

I’d like khari as a qb coach, oc qc, oc ast or a combination there of. He could easily still develop into a very good oc but I wouldn’t want to take that risk. 

IIRC last outside coaching hires were Lapo in 2016 and Hall and Marcel Belfeule in 2015

Good thing he's considerably younger than Mike O'Shea.  Because i want Osh to coach for at least another 10 years before giving way to Buck.

He self-admittedly wants to be an HC. 

When you sign up for the coaching life, you're signing up to move once in awhile.

Yah, good enough reason for him to stay put in a secure role, young families do not travel well.

That’s true of any coach. including MOS when he moved to Winnipeg.

He is definitely waiting for the right opportunity, but when it comes…

While I’d love to see him get a shot, most NFL teams are content to bag out 22 year old running backs on the cheap and move on. 
All the power to him if he can though. 

It's easy to sign on a piece of paper. It's quite another to make an NFL team.

Exactly.  Remember the stories of Collaros possibly not resigning in Winnipeg?

His wife had a secure teaching job in Ontario - those are easier to come by now, but they were not at the time

Maybe he should try to get into the Winnipeg hall of fame first.

A little sad but hey if that’s what you think you need to do, have at er.

Why not?  JJ, Brown, Stegall Khari and Chuck - are on my list of Bombers who should have been champions.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh..... He's a ways down my list of Bombers HOF inductees, never mind the league. I mean, Wade is in the Bombers hall for his ST contributions, so Jovon probably gets in, but.... It might be a minute. And the league hall? Ya I don't know about that. 

No harm in it I suppose, but IMO if you have to tell people who didn’t ask in the first place how great you are/were, then you weren’t as special as you think.
