3 turds plus ch winds of change

[rebusrankin]

Let's be honest, many of us (Rebus raises his hand) are more ticked off this year because its a home Grey Cup and the team is struggling. Throw in an unspeakable horror taking place on November 16th (potentially) and you get this.

[Noeller]

Ya that's fair... I haven't consciously been taking the home GC into account, but that probably is there somewhere. I'm just really sad because of how much I've enjoyed the top of the mountain. I don't want the good times to end. Call it being a child of divorce, if you want, but I don't want to see a "break up" on Chancellor Matheson.... Ha ha.

So who's the hotshot GM and Coach combo you want to lead us to the next era of glory?

There's a lot to lose in blowing up a front office that has proven itself more than capable of fielding dominant teams.  I mean in my entire lifetime we've had only a handful competent GM's and head coaches.

I think it is quite likely that the key people in that front office are ready to move on though, and that's a big part of what happens next.  Doubt many people in real life have done the exact same job for 12-13 years.  It's pretty unusual.

I believe competent GM and head coach candidates are out there, even if they have not held these positions as yet. The Argos hit gold when they hired Dinwiddie and if the Bomber upper management cannot find these, they ought to step aside and let those who can do the job.

The Argos struck gold when they hired John Murphy- that dude is the truffle pig of finding players...

The two that were part of this success were far from hotshots...point?

That's why you start at HC like the overwhelming majority of teams in all sports leagues do

What g.m candidate is gonna come in and agree to take over a team and not be allowed to shape it in his vision...and it starts with HC

JBR can be GM and Prez ,Booch can be coach.  Problem solved.

And I’ll joke around contributing nothing other than my charming personality and making the coaches veins pulsate in their foreheads when I offer up my football ‘opinions’.

We were extremely lucky to be dominant for several years is quite a take. I get you’re mad, but that’s just nonsense.

Yes, based on 3 consecutive GC lossess with the decisions Osh made on game day personnel & playing injured players. Yes, we were EXTREMELY lucky to win 2.

Tim Burke was extremely unlucky.  Just needed another decade.

He was a shitty choice. What's your point? I'm pretty confident that if the team keeps losing at least one or both of the GM & HC will be gone because the team can't go back to the fanbase giving Walters & Osh new contracts. It doesn't matter who we think could be candidates because we won't choose them. So, you can be pissed off demanding we say who should be candidates but no one cares. We can speculate but ulltimately have no say in who gets hired. .

which is fine....you adjust ratio geared toward your talent and roster...I'd easily flip ratio positions if it helps team..Thats what good smart coaches do...you dont let a talent walk out the door cause you like a guy like Thomas...Kolo....etc

Osh....not so much...to him it is what it is

no opinion or idea is necessarily a bad one.....save for the insanely absurd one....They all should carry weight and consideration

If you bbq well enough, the imp linemen (and ni) will appear for sure.

That's just a start, Booch would be a helluva busy guy because I would want the whole thing torn down.

then we should mesh well as basically I do too....Ratio would be changed...players to facilitate it would be targeted....no position would be penciled in pre-camp save for maybe BO but even then if we un-earthed a Mike Pringle we'd be seeing a lot of 2 back sets and BO used in slot 

Loyalty would be shown to the team....not the player as well.....Thats the world I came from...You underperform....you're out
