Coordinator Candidates?

I imagine the coordinators will be hired pretty quickly so we've got to get our opinions on here quick so the Bombers can consider them.  Who do you guys think should be OC and DC?  Try and poach a current one by giving them an assistant head coach title?  Go for more young blood (a current CFL positional coach, for example)?  Bring in someone with experience who is currently unemployed?  Someone totally out of the box?

 

Current League OC's -

 

BC - None

EDM - Doug Sams

CGY - Dave Dickenson

SSK - George Cortez

TOR - Marcus Brady

HAM - Tommy Condell

MTL - None

 

Other interesting names - Doug Berry, Jacques Chapdelaine, Khari Jones, Jason Maas, Jason Tucker, Jarious Jackson, Mike Kelly, Mike Gibson, Rick Worman, Martel Bellefeuille.

 

Current League DC's -

 

BC - Rich Stubler

EDM - Greg Marshall

CGY - Rick Campbell

SSK - Richie Hall

TOR - None

HAM - Orlondo Steinauer

MTL - Noel Thorpe

 

Other interesting names - Mark Washington, Richard Kent, Barron Miles, Mark Nelson, Devone Claybrooks, Will Plemons, Jeff Reinebold, Mavis Reed.

  • Deciding that Jason Boltus is a quality QB, for one....

  • I feel like I know more about who I DON'T want than who I DO want.   As far as defensive coordinator goes, I have NO idea. I don't want Kavis, that's for sure.

  • Can't see there being a straight shuffle.   Someone who has never been an OC before is going to be one now.

wouldn't want Khari anywhere near the OC spot on my team.

Kavis Reed for DC.

Mike Kelly for DC and OC... he can go both

Barron Miles is a guy I'd love on the staff.  Not sure if it would have to be at DC this season, but he's a guy who will be a DC and head coach candidate in the next few years.  He also has experience in BC's personnel department.

 

A guy like Mike Gibson is interesting.  Could be a fit with a younger OC like Khari, as Gibson has OC experience and has worked with Khari before.  Gibson as a OL coach would be a good fit in that scenario.

I don't want Kavis Reed in Winnipeg.  I'll take Nelson over him.

 

OC...man...I don't know.  I'd like Cortez but I can't see him coming here since he's not getting HC job.  I think I'm with Bluto on Khari.  I'd take him as QBC though.  I think Berry would be my pick (althoughs someone here said he's going to Edmonton...not sure how valid that is).

I thought Orlondo Steinauer had the Hamilton D turned around significantly from 2012 (a low bar, maybe). I wouldn't complain about seeing him here as our DC.

i think it will be imperative for the Bombers to add experience on the coaching staff, that said... 

 

Rick Worman as OC

Rich Stubler as DC

Cortez

Khari

Berry

 

Stubler

Nelson

The year that Kavis Reed was our DC our defence was pretty good.  So I am curious as to why he would be a no for you?

What were you watching in 2010? Cleo Lemon made Kavis Reed look like a fool every time he played us.

Gibson, Wylie or an experienced OL coach who can teach.

Miles, Stubler for DC

Jones, Brady, Cortez OC

I’ll go out on a limb and suggest Pete Costanza.  6 years as the Stamps receivers coach, so he knows the ins and outs of the league. Has had some success in the AFL as an head coach and OC.  Not to mention having a coach here with the last name Costanza, would be pretty amazing all by itself.

It's hard to determine who O'Shea has in mind for the OC/DC positions, but I really like the fact that he wants to move quickly to talk to the people he has in mind. (pushing up the announcement from Frid. to today for example)

Although he and Walters must have discussed some names, I'm not sure he could be pushed into taking somebody just because someone else wants him here. Hello Khari.

IMO, M.O.'s m.o. will be to operate with the staff he has confidence in. If Khari fits that bill…so be it.

I like his attitude and am very anxious to see who he rolls out as his 'chosen'.

I like Marcus Brady a lot.  If they want to offer him a promotion to AsstHC and OC here I'd be for it.  Bring over the Milanovich offense.

OC : Maas

OL Coach/ asst HC : Gibson

QB Coach : Buck Pierce or Sams

WR Coach :???

RB Coach : ???

DC ; Stubler or Nelson

DL Coach : Plemons

LB Coach : ???

DB Coach : Willie Pile

STC : Dyce

i'll just throw this name on the DC position, his name was mentioned by Coach O on the prescon..... Gary Etcheverry

Cortez as OC/Ass HC. That would be awesome. 

 

Stubler or Nelson on the D. 

OC : Maas

OL Coach/ asst HC : Gibson

QB Coach : Buck Pierce or Sams

WR Coach :???

RB Coach : ???

DC ; Stubler or Nelson

DL Coach : Plemons

LB Coach : ???

DB Coach : Willie Pile

STC : Dyce

I think that Dyce could also be in the mix for OC.

Lawless said Washington & Miles are the names he's heard at DC, and KJ as OC. He gave another name for OC but I don't remember who.

In 2010 the Bombers were the second best team in yards allowed and had the best defence against the pass. (Again, in terms of yards allowed.) 

 

In terms of points per game the #1 team gave up 24 points a game where as the Bombers gave up a whopping 3 more points on average per game.  That's with a pile of crap for an offence that often did not leave the defence in great position.

 

When Kavis Reed was here, he did a good job.

 

Again, I just don't understand why he would be a definite no for someone.

 

OC : Maas

OL Coach/ asst HC : Gibson

Wouldn't doubt it, I'd just like to see him back in some capacity.
