Guest Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hopefully Burke takes most of the defensive staff with him as well. As for Jones, I'm of an opinion that Jones' success like Chapdelaine's are more a product of the talent their teams have had as opposed to them being solid co-ordinators.

Jones recruits most of his own defensive guys so I guess in the end, he's still deserving of the credit Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hopefully Burke takes most of the defensive staff with him as well. As for Jones, I'm of an opinion that Jones' success like Chapdelaine's are more a product of the talent their teams have had as opposed to them being solid co-ordinators. I believe they are both solid co-ordinators but the question is who will have access to the players they want to facilitate what they are trying to do. Toronto has some good D personnel but do they it fit Burke? I think Jones in Edmonton can be more flexible, and he has some good personnel too. Anyways, good luck to Timbo, but I'm glad he has moved on. (Expect sales of visors to Sky-rocket in Toronto.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 For all the Jones love going on you gotta remember that 2 seasons ago Gary Crowton had his defense absolutely guessing. I think our performance in that game was more about Jones starting an out-of-shape Adriano Belli at DT and less about Crowton's offensive wizardry.

iso_55 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yeah, Burke was just a coach in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was in way over his head. A lot of good coaches would be. I do wish him well as he seems to be a decent & nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Good luck to Burke. I think he's a very good DC and I'm not surprised that he's got another job so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 This is great news, the club will save lots of money and it at least makes the decision moving forward much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 does this mean that i won't see a guy like Cleon Laing drop into coverage anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Interested to see what Burke does in Toronto. My first thoughts are that the personnel may not fit what he wants to do. third straight year of massive turnover on our D is coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Tim Burke is a helluva DC and Toronto is getting one of the best. I would take Burke over Jones, personally. Hated him as HC here but I respect his defensive acumen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Burke the DC I really liked. He's very good at that job. Completely over his head at head coach and one of the worst I've ever seen here (pretty select company) but the argos got a good defensive coordinator there.

Brandon Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yup Toronto will do well with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 good luck to burke in toronto.. he is going to do well again as a DC once he settles in and get acclimated to the roster.. or to the new guys he wants brought in, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 So, how does this play on O'Shea? He may have felt that he was in line to become DC in Toronto. I personally believe that SPC is a more demanding role, but many others feel that the DC is a higher position. It would be interesting to know more.
