Don't really care. I'll still take Matty.

I thought we had both Danny and Matty in 92. Did Danny Mac not leave in 93 because Cal prefered The Son In Law?

Yup, we had both in 92 (as well as the son in law).  92 was Matty's first year with us & Danny's last.  I remember the rumours about Garza but he was 3rd string & had been with the team longer so I'm not sure how true that is.

I don't think you can expect any college QB to succeed in the pros CFL, or otherwise. 

That said, Pavia is as blue-chip a prospect as it gets in the CFL. I also don't think he's 6' in cleats. I bet he measures 5'9-5'10 and immediately sees his status change to free agent guy you take a flyer on. Probably sits a year hoping for an NFL shot then comes up the following year.

Naylor says the bombers have requested and been granted permission to talk to Mike Miller (toronto) for the oc position! 

He notes miller is a candidate for the argos hc job still. 

Theyre giving me some hope!

Looks like Hogan is done!

The native of Pittsburgh, Pa. interviewed with Winnipeg for the offensive coordinator position last offseason, though he wasn’t hired as the Blue Bombers ended up promoting running backs coach Jason Hogan.

I know everyone is just going to say "can't be worse!" But do we know if this Mike Miller is any good? We don't want to just do better than last year... We need to do GREAT with this hire...

Seems in bad taste to not fire Hogan before this, no?

I mean, I don't care -- I want Hogan fired lol, but this seems like an odd sequence

30 years of coaching, OC in the NFL (Arizona), OC in Toronto and Montreal (also co-head coach there).  Plus he's made Arbuckle look halfway decent.  Would not be worse but time would tell if would be great.

He’s on a 1 year contract. Likely up already. If not close. I think what this says is they moving on.

He's very good...very respected...oodles of experience...polar opposites of oc guy

[Goalie]

Toronto’s O wasn’t the problem. Dude played a role in making Arbuckle look real good this past season. Plus 2 Mike Millers would be fun and with Wade there also your 26 slogan can be… It’s Miller Time.
