gbill2004 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is Bob Irving's pick for who he thinks will be the Bombers next head coach. A combo of O'Shea, Khari as OC and Burke DC would be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousBIG Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I feel better about that than Khari as HC, though Mike would have a tough job ahead of him. Mike is very smart though. Interesting. B-F-F-C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Bob Irving is quite connected to inside info on the Bombers so there might be something to this. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 If we're going with a rookie head coach, I think O'Shea would be a great pick. If it helps ensure we get Zach Collaros, even better. O'Shea for head coach and Khari Jones for OC would be just fine with me.

Noeller Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just curious (and am being sincere...) what makes O'Shea a good candidate, other than the media saying so for every open job the last few years? voodoochylde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just curious (and am being sincere...) what makes O'Shea a good candidate, other than the media saying so for every open job the last few years? For me, I just like the guy as a person and think he has always come across as a strong leader... I can't really point to anything other than that and his recent success as a special teams coordinator. I'd also be on board with Khari Jones as HC and Mike O'Shea as DC if that is what is going on here. O'Shea might have realized no one will hire him as HC with only ST coordinator experience, and Chris Jones isn't going anywhere... So he could come here to be the DC.

B-F-F-C Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 O how I love it when these tidbits of information come out and it makes some posters on here loo pretty stupid. Yeah you know who you are. O'Shea has been one of my top candidates from Day 1. Is he better than Khari? Couldn't tell you but I like his sideline presence and his take no prisoners approach. Plus he seems to get the best out of his players. Noeller and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Shea would be one of the few "first timers" I would like to see coach our depleted team, the other was Dave Dickenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep the leg Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like O'Shea as HC material for many of the same reasons Atomic gave. He just seems like he'd be a good leader. If he could surround himself with quality assistants (Jones & Burke?) we might have something. NotoriousBIG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, it was a joke. And it looks like yesterday's lesson on the fallaciousness of arguments based on Appeals to Authority didn't really sink in, did it? Now I know why I didn't become a teacher.

Mike Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I feel like O'Shea could be good but he may need to learn how to walk that line between hard ass that gets tuned out and a no nonsense leader that players bust their ass for. Just my opinion though. I think he's a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 The problem with O'shea is that he's such an Argo/Ti-Cat and in my bitterness I say leave all that trash in Southern Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of mine knows him and he is HEAVILY invested in the GTA, both personally and professionally. So when he gives the obligatory "this is my dream job" speech it will be, well, a lie.
