You must have a different definition of smug than I do.

Come over baby
whole lot of guessin' goin' on
Yes, I said come over baby
baby you can't go wrong
We ain't fakin'
Whole lot of guessin' goin' on

 

Neither our DC....or for that matter our OC...... has made much of a case for retention.  Enough of this mythical power struggle nonsense, and just get on with improving this club with some new coaches...

 

 

good to see you.

If there is a power struggle going on it must be totally epic. The season ended three weeks ago. Nukes are to be deployed. 

Grey Cup week moratorium on announcements. Stay tuned to next week for more of nothing from the Bombers.

There'll be news before Christmas, for sure...

Christmas!!!! Omgomgomg!!!

Christmas!!!! Omgomgomg!!!

No kidding!!

 

 

 

No advantage to waiting until after the GC to fire OC/DC.  in fact GC week is a great time to interview potential replacements.  The league usually puts a stop to any firings during GC week, so we can't fire them now.  I'd like to see us replace both coordinators, but the tea leaves would suggest that we aren't going to.

If they can't be fired right now to keep all the attention focused on the events surrounding the festivities and the game itself, it would be bad form to interview people for a job that isn't even open yet.  To me that sort of looks bush league.

 

If they were going to fire the coordinators they should have done it the way BC did.  Fire before the moratorium.  That being said... if the decision's been made to fire one or more coordinators and those folks have been told, then there's nothing bush league about doing interviews during GC week.

 

Brice... Steinhauer is a good DC who's on a team that's made it to the GC two years running.  Other than a big raise, there's nothing in it for him to leave Hamilton for the same job on the  Bombers.

 

 

Terry ... You don't know what its like working with Austin. OS and Steinhauer are friends. If the Cats get AnallyPounded next Sunday, I'm sure he'd at least entertain a job offer, especially if more money was attached

 

 

Hate to be "that guy" but... do you actually know what it's like to work for Kent Austin??... or are you just speculating based on his sideline antics... for all we know, the guy could be a fantastic boss...

Just an FYI The league has a policy now when you cant announce coahces moves to after the grey cup is over. So settle down boys, go have a drink

Does this mean that BC Lions are in trouble for announcing about Benevides than?

I think that blackout is the week leading up to the Grey Cup, so they should be fine

It's only the week of GC...

Pretty sure we hear a string of announcements starting next Monday. 

 

Hope the Bombers are part of it.

Well, we've had 3 weeks to sort out our coordinators & haven't made any kind of an announcement either way.

This delay  confirming that the coordinators will either stay or go is difficult to understand. Does it take that long to determine of they are worth keeping or not?

You can use stats to prove anything, 14% of people know that.

Some people though are just so anti-Etch they're willing to ignore reality and live in their own little fantasy world where the guy is literally Hitler

Figuratively

Hitler? C'mon 17... that's a bit over the top. More like Goering.

literally figuratively?

 

I like that.

 

anyway, I thought Sadaam Hussein, Gadaffi, and Putin are. were all Hitler.

And, according to some, Obama is not only Hitler but also the Anti-Christ.

Orlondo with no comment...very interesting:

@CFL_News: Dave Dickenson maintains he's staying in Calgary. Orlondo Steinauer has no comment...via @rcamcole #CFL #BCLions #Ticats #Calstampeders

Actually, sadly (for some), from the Oxford dictionary:

 

literally Line breaks: lit|er¦al¦ly

Pronunciation: /ˈlɪt(ə)rəli

1In a literal manner or sense; exactly:the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the roundabouttiramisu, literally translated ‘pull-me-up’

I'm not going to partake in the dumbing down of society to the point where rampant improper use of a word becomes an acceptable colloquialism.

I think that 17's use of the word literally falls into the category of hyperbole and rhetoric.   That said, I do think he overstates his case a bit because I've seen nothing on this board that looks like Etch hate.  Rather what I see is people (myself included) who simply think that Etch is not really that good a coordinator.  And clearly when someone spends 3 seasons on the sidelines, I think that its safe to say that that feeling is shared by a lot of the tall foreheads in the CFL.  I look at O'Shea hiring him as a rookie mistake, a guy trying to do a solid for his old mentor.  Commendable, but not really that astute.  Hopefully, O'Shea learns a lesson from this.

 

And by the way 17, Etch is no worse that Hess, in my opinion.
