Possible Bombers DC candidate?

#BCLions have fired Mike Benevides. He's a good man and will have more success the 2nd time around. #CFL

 

Can't imagine the A&W Root Bear in blue and gold, just wouldn't look right.

 

On another front apparently sparks are flyiing in the Bomber's offices over Etch's future.

@3lue_n_6old Sounds like there's a power struggle over Etcheverry's future right now.

 

Well that sucks.....was hoping Marcel was in the conversation too

 

 

Hopefully they've reached a consensus on Marcel's fate so there's no need for a power struggle.

Sure hope there's some basis to this rumour

I don't. I'd rather it be a consensus whether Etch stays or goes. I would prefer to have Miller, Walters and O'Shea on the same page.

Dave D .....  He goes to BC.

My opinion is still we need to get rid of Etch and MB.

 

Jus not good enough

Yeah the D really wasn't the issue in BC at all, they went something like what? 3 or 4 games without giving up a TD at one point, the team to score that TD on them, The Bombers lol

 

Lawless pushing for Lapolice already to get the JOB there in BC. would Lapolice, after what he said about the controlling GM Joe Mack really want to take that JOB in BC if wally is actually running the show there? 

I think any coaching candidate the Lions are interested in would tell Wally to back off or he wouldn't take the job. 

Strikes me as Babaooey completely lost the room at some point and couldnt get it back. Wally was left with no choice.

Could Wally maybe go back to doing both rolls?

As much as I like KJ as a person and a Bomber, not sure he's right for the Bombers now. 

 

I'd like to see us get Cortez as OC. As for DC, Steinhauer in TO, Washington in BC, or even Benevides would all be upgrades. 

 

 

I get it that people like Khari around these parts. So do I. However, I find it awfully ironic that the people clamoring for us to get rid of Bellefeuille want to replace him with a guy that runs an offensive system taught to him by Bellefeuille. I like Khari...but why replace an offensive system with a near perfect carbon copy of itself.

@HerbZurkowsky1: I'm wondering how long it'll take before speculation begins about #Als' defensive co-ordinator @CoachNoelThorpe replacing Mike Benevides?

 

I would think that Thorpe would be a longshot.

Could Wally maybe go back to doing both rolls?

 

I doubt it. He left the dual role on the advice of his doctors. However, Wally may have fired Benny VD but I think Washington is a strong contender for HC in BC.

Who'd want to work for Wally after this? 

Who'd want to work for Wally after this?

After what? He fired a coach? Lots of GMs have fired coaches and had no trouble finding a new one.

Who'd want to work for Wally after this?

I will.

Id be thrilled to bring in Khari if it was a step below OC.  Not sure we have the room.  We already have a coaching spot being occupied by a former beloved QB learning to coach.

 

Intrigued by the Etch rumour.  I wonder who's on which side of the line.  Assume Walters or Wade want to dump him and MOS wants to keep him?

I know this doesn't always mean anything, especially since Calgary is playing a playoff game this weekend, but Dickenson says he isn't leaving Calgary.

so as of now, it looks like the possible candidates for BC's HC will be:

 

- LaPolice

- Thorpe

- Millanovich (if he chose to leave TO)

Just posted this morning via Twitter, as per Argos beat writer: Barker and Milano both under contract for another year and both will be staying.

so as of now, it looks like the possible candidates for BC's HC will be:

 

- LaPolice

- Thorpe

- Millanovich (if he chose to leave TO)

I think any preliminary list would have to include Trestman.  I know he is still in Chicago, but there is lots of speculation that the situation might change.

is a Mike Kelly / Stefan LeFors tandem not a possibility in Vancouver!?

Just saw that after I submitted my post.

 

What's Cortez standing on the Riders ?

 

 

Doug Berry and Greg Marshall reunion in BC ?

I'm a little bit surprised at this one to be honest.  I thought on the whole BC punched above their weight given the guys they lost and the spots on their team that are abysmal (offensive line being the obvious one).  Wally passing the buck.

 

Could David Braley himself be a bit behind this?

 

I've certainly seen enough of this league to know that coaching is one tough business and even small things can sometimes get you fired.  Obviously losing that playoff game, a game that does have a lot of weight was gonna trigger a chain reaction of some sort, and BC obviously wants something new.

 

But yeah, being stuck with Glenn and his unreliable backups isn't necessarily Bene's fault.  I'm also not of the opinion that it was merely one game that got him fired, somebody or some people on that team must've un-backed him, similarly to what they say is happening to Tom Coughlin in NY right now.

 

I have no doubt he will get on as an assist or possibly head coach somewhere like either here or in Hamilton, but who knows, maybe the Redblacks will capitalize on this and dump Campbell for him.

 

Could David Braley himself be a bit behind this?

 

Wally is in total control of that team.  If Braley ever attempted to change that, Buono would walk away.

Could Wally maybe go back to doing both rolls?

On an interim basis, possibly, but not as a full time role...Not a chance.

I remember hearing an interview or ready an article where he said he would only consider it on an interim basis...

As long as BC are willing to bring in talented players, I heard Tim Burke would like another shot at HC.

Sorry couldn't resist.
