Tracker Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is a saying that as we age, we tend to remember how good we were and forget why we quit. The quickness, stamina and bounceback just isn't there any more even though we can feel in the moment that we are as good as we were. When /if he gets into daily reps, Garcia will remember.

USABomberfan Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The comedy continues in Montreal. Now I liked Jeff Garcia, guy had quite a career having success in this league and then going on to have a hell of a career in the NFL taking some teams to the playoffs and winning playoff games too. That being said, this is likely a move to put him at QB coach, maybe freeing Dinwiddie up to help get some better prep in his playbook or something. Taking on that much water for the guy isn't good at all in this situation. That being said, I must agree that all this bringing in of more consultants and merely swapping or adding position coaches for the Als isn't going to fix the root of the problem. If you're gonna find what the root of the trouble is, you gotta point to the power struggle going on up in their Administration. This article pretty much sums it up http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Alouettes+lose+ugly+offence+falls+flat/10084382/story.html I think what happened was Popp wanted and wants to hold onto two hats, as both HC and GM of the team. But Mr Wetenhall doesn't want that. I think he expected Popp would voluntarily go back to being GM by season's end, but when he didn't Mr W stepped in with the hire of Higgins. That as was said was a pretty late hire, and seems the staff was kinda thrown together on the fly, hence the whole Worman situation that happened. This begs the question as to why did Rob W extend Popp's contract another 3 years. Seems like the wise thing to do would've been for the Als to just let Popp have that HC job and hang onto it unless the whole bottom falls out, or else let him go after this year and get a new guy who's gonna add new players and take the team in a different direction. Because right now, it seems Popp as a GM is losing interest in having only that position, and he shouldn't be going after old NFL outcasts to form his rosters, he oughtta be getting the Als scouting back to younger talent and look into more proficient Canadian talent. I mean, you'd figure in a major city like Montreal, down the road at Ottawa, or even making some trips to Toronto you'd find quite a stable of Canadian talent at the local universities there.

SPuDS Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Unreal.. So this has to be considered absolutely that the wheels fell off, right? Montreal is hooped.. On another note.. As garcia is a "coach" and say he's paid 600k a year... If he steps onto the field of play, does that not count against the cap now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
