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.

 and can relate to what he speaks of in his plans to improve the club.  You can sense the sincerity in his words, and know what his intentions are.  He’s not reading from any cue cards.

 

This is really true, he said a lot of good things when he was introduced and you can tell that this guy wants to build a good team here and cares about doing what he thinks will get that good team. Any one of us could get up there and rattle off what needs to be done to do it so the things he actually pointed out don't mean a lot but I like the level of passion he seems to show. I don't think this guy is going to slack off when it comes to trying to get things on the right track.

Well, in his first press conference, Mike Kelly showed a lot of passion too -- and then even more in the coach's call in show. 

 

Nah, kidding. I guess we'll see. 

Kelly mixed passion with insanity and ego, I don't get the same crazy vibes from walters at least. 

Wait 'til he shaves his head.

Wait 'til he shaves his head.

Or gets roofied and has someone tattoo his face.

Supposedly Walters is dining with Lapo as we speak (or type). Friendly dinner or job offer? You be the judge.

They are good friends. No job offer.

Seriously....WHEN ARE THEY GONNA ANNOUNCE THE NEW HC!?!?!?  The suspense is killing me!  I wanna know now!

I just wonder who is actually available as asst coaches... Seems like rookies or has-beens on the market right now

Have learned that Winnipeg gm Kyle Walters is in Regina today interviewing Khari Jones & George Cortez. #CFL

Well geez, it's looks like a process is being followed in regards to hiring a HC.

Who knew?

Yes, there are only candidates with experience and candidates without experience.  Good observation.

I see it as being very candid.

All humans too.  Our recent coaches from that species have been awful.

Funny

 

If you guys want to place Berry, Reed, Marshall, Stubler, Burke as 'non has-beens' that's cool...  but yeah, when we stop making ha ha's, please suggest an available assistant coach with experience that is appealing.  If Cortez is available as OC, that would be excellent... after that, maybe Mark Nelson as DC... after that - who is available who is not a hack?

You think Tim Burke is a has-been as a DC?

yea I don't believe failure as a rookie HC equates to suddenly losing your pre-existing exceptional DC ability... does it? some kind of voodoo or devil pact?

You think Tim Burke is a has-been as a DC?

 

definitely in the end everybody will see how overrated he was as a DC.

You know, I'm at the point that if Mike O'Shea gives us a better chance to sign Collaros then bring him in as HC. I don't care how good or experienced a coach you are, if you don't have the pieces at key positions like QB you don't win. Kent Austin couldn't have brought the offense we had together. Get the centerpiece signed.... that's Collaros.

For us, Burke is a 'has-been'... he's not going from HC to DC.  Still waiting for some suggestions for up-and-coming experienced coaches who are available...  I actually doubt Cortez is available as OC.

 

But, really, those posts were all cute and funny... 

 

Right now, the only guy with some degree of experience available (IF we hire O'Shea) is Mark Nelson.  Otherwise, our entire coaching staff will be guys who have been freshly 'promoted' - just like it was when we hired Lapo.

lol yea that back to back to back grey cup appearences and shut down defenses... whew. the overratedness is just astounding..

What a completely moronic post. I suppose if he has one poor season as DC somewhere it will wipe out all the years of success. Give me a break....

Burke is a great DC. The 1 1/2 years as HC here shouldn't change that.That is the level where he should be at & stay from now on in his career.

Nah, he was so stupid as a HC, I can almost guarantee you he's job as a DC was a fluke, either that or he really was good back than but thas lost his bloody mind now.
