@CJOBSports: O'shea not disclosing who will join #Bombers coaching staff.

@DarrinBauming: Mike O'Shea says #Bombers' coaching targets have contracts in their hands. Kyle Walters say agents slow the process.

I guess they are waiting to see if they get a better offer.

in short, no update

With the whirlwind regarding the QB position I forgot who it is we still need when it comes to coaching....

 

What positions are the hiring?  QB coach....

in short, no update

my thoughts exactly.

So, the question was asked of O'Shea yesterday when he'd name his new Defensive Coordinator. I thought Gary Etcheverry was officially named to that position. Wasn't he? Please someone tell me no!

No he hasn't. The media was claiming he had been signed but there has not been an official announcement.

If that's results in us getting someone else aside from Etch i'd be thrilled.

 

Unless that someone is Greg Marshall of course.

Marshall is a much more appealing choice than Etch IMO.

Not for me he's not!

I'd prefer Etcheverry. Already seen the Marshall defence enough, not a fan. At least the Etcheverry defence should be exciting. I'm not that worried about our D, I actually think we've got a pretty good core of players there. An experienced MLB like McCune or Jamall Johnson could go a long way for us.

The best of the scraps....

You, me and probably a few others.... (and no, dee... No one named duprie!)

Would prefer to bring in neither Etcheverry nor Marshall, but both guys I would have wanted here either stayed with their organization (Miles) or went to Ottawa (Nelson). I guess we just have to trust that O'Shea, Walters & Co. bring in the right people.

There was another name mentioned right when OShea was hired, a DC down in the states - worked with OShea before...  wonder if he's the sleeper in all this...

 

Edit:  Cooper Harris

I hope it's Cooper Harris! He definitely has a certain charisma... a quick google search reveals he has starred in such films as "Mega Piranha," "Meteor Apocalypse," and the instant classic "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus!"

 

I found this http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/12/04/oshea-goes-straight-to-work-building-blue-bombers-coaching-staff, a Penton article from December that mentioned Harris. A son of CFL Hall of Famer Wayne Harris, he's current DC at Fort Hays State University in Kansas.

Where is/was Rob Murphy coaching. We need an Oline coach like him to make these current olinemen nastier. I wonder if he and O'Shea are buddies?

Rob Murphy doesn't coach. He's a fire fighter in Jacksonville FL.

Ah. For some reason I though he was coaching at a college.

He's coaching frat boys at beer pong and chug a lug contests.

I wonder if they haven't announced Etchafairy because he is still on the payroll of Univ of Ottawa. Does that make him just another overpaid civil servant.

No he isn't still being paid by them. He's was helping with FA which he couldn't do if he was still under contract to the university.

That's like saying Tillman couldn't work for Hamilton. He did as a consultant and got paid by Edmonton. It happens all the time.

What makes you think Tillman was still being paid by the Eskimos?

O'Shame, Bellefailure and Etchafairy.

 

This forum season is going to be awesome.

I think O'shea will bring some balance to Etch D. Still going to see some crazy but be in a better place to make some adjustments.
