Wade has to make a decision in a short period of time on what to do (if he hasn't already), hesitation is one of those decisions and maybe the worst one. I think Toronto will move fast, and I think the Cats will as well once their season is over. 

We can't drag our feet...that's part of the reason we had to settle with Hogan...also why we ended up missing on some FA's

I'm assuming that Miller is responsible to the volunteer Board of Directors. Would he have to get their permission on major matters like this?

I think when Wade took over things shifted a bit in regards to the BOD

He essentially has say over the football ops. He may run things by to get a feel or let em know..but football related stuff is his domain...the way it was before was why we were in the state we were

In terms of football ops I would expect him to have full control to the point he would likely update them on his intentions not have to ask for permission. 
An act as president that was veto’d by the bog would be like failing a none confidence vote. 

Agree with the first bit. 

I didn’t read the article i’ll have to check it out. I’ll say though that it’s on pinball to make the primary changes. 

Mos would be involved, but i’m not sure he would face much more change there than we need. Hed keep his buddies on the staff like eiben, try to poach a couple of our guys and others, and re tool via free agency. 

It’s soo wild to me that his idea of accountability for our offences systematic failures is that he should have stepped in and micro managed them to ensure they performed better. If i head that as Jackson, i’d quit instantly. 

Yeah..he has too much say...and no real feel on the pulse...and things coming out and rumblings I hear is his way on going about things in some instances doesn't sit as well as before...and interestingly enough more so with some vets

A combination of Khari Jones and Jarius Jackson will be a lot better than O'Shea and Hogan.

I wish the club was proactive and we knew who would be running the show next year.

we really should have made a statement the week following the playoff exit...id we dont make it the week following the Cup....We can expect more the same.....missing out on some quality coaching prospects....some for sure player exodus...the ones we dont wanna see exit...and a sad vet laden lineup with aged out guys...Osh fav's and loyalists and a team with minimal depth, and no desire to integrst new blood in...unless forced to with injury...hate to be a debbie downer but you can almost book it

I will gladly eat crow....pile of used sweatsocks...whatever....but until proven otherwise....Can't see it...and havnt been far off the mark on the prediction i started drumming after the 2023 joke of a Grey Cup and season end

I don’t necessarily think that’s entirely fair to say. It’s going to be a long road back personnel wise before any coach (O’Shea included) has success here.

Despite what O’Shea thinks, we need a total overhaul. The roster is ancient and being held together with duct tape and chewed gum.
