Noeller Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 ...Cortez to get a 2nd interview, and Bellefuille reports he understands he's still in the mix. Khari and O'Shea still considered as well. Interesting that Cortez and Bellefuille are in the thick of it. Not sure we really gave them much consideration...

Mr. Perfect Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 If we can pair Cortez up with a solid d-cordinator I'm down for giving him the job. He gets a bad rap because of what happened in Hamilton, but the offence was in the top two, and Creehan was the d-cordinator at the time, and we all saw what Creehan did here with the defence.

Blueandgold Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't particularly want Cortez, and I definitely don't want Bellefuille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I like Cortez, even if he strikes me as a royal a-hole. I think he would be similar to Doug Berry, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If we hire MB I will flip out. Do not want. I am hoping that it was more just out of courtesy. If I am choosing out of this list I would take Cortez, O'Shea and Khari- in that order. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which we could use. In a perfect, "never gonna happen" world I'd have O'Shea as my HC and Cortez as my OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cortez just strikes me as too much like hiring Burke to be HC. There were more red flags with that guy as head coach in hamilton than just the defence, DR. CFL and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 As I said in the GM thread a while back, I am just glad they are actually interviewing more then one person!! I like how they are actually looking for a good fit and for someone who will be sucessful here. Not just promote the next water boy to be HC!

iso_55 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think Cortez has a better overall feel for the game than Burke had. If the club signs a decent qb & he hires a decent OC we may be in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe hire a very good DC who can assistant HC (Stubler?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It will be interesting to see if Wpg or Ottawa hire first. Some of the candidates might prefer one job over the over but might have to decide first. A bit of poker and a bit of chess....or might it be chicken?

I wouldn't say you're wrong, but what makes you think Cortez would value Burris (who probably only has another year or two in the tank) over Collaros or any of the other FA QB's? Just because he went out and got him in 2012? Wasn't Burris simply the best available option at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's a free agent? Based on that logic (and more logically IMO) it would mean the team goes hard after Drew Willy. He has familiarity with the system, he's a polished passer, and he isn't 39 by kickoff next June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northof60 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm on team Cortez - have been for awhile now.He's worked with some of the best QB's out there, and I think he'd do wonders with a guy like Collaros or Willy.Surround him with the right staff, and he'll flourish.

Cause they've got such a history in Calgary and Hamilton and he's the only real veteran option that's going to be a free agent, and because they had such a good offence together in Hamilton... Come on, it's pretty obvious who the guy would pick if he was given the option of actually picking his own qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 More than ever, after listening to the latest presser, I'm convinced that he will let his HC make the decision who he wants as QB going forward. Now, as to how much this factors into picking the HC….that is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_x Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Burris would be a good qb option as long as you have colloras (sp?) coming in as well. Burris would make the team instantly better in the short term, but you also need the replacement ready to come in soon. I wouldn't be upset with Burris.. I want our QB spot to improve immensely. Burris would be a good step.. but so would some other QBs coming onto the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 At 39 next year, Burris would be a one year bandage. Next year, we'd be in the same spot we are now.... Looking for a new qb for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a new qb for the future. True, but other than Collaros, is there anyone you'd rather have here than Burris? I think he's a good plan B.

iso_55 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Plan B for a single season. We need more at the qb position than a one year fix. I suspect Walters knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
