iso_55 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Mike O'Shea said on Hustler & Lawless Friday that he hasn't finished his coaches evaluations because he hasn't figured out the way he wants to do it.

TBieber Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 History of players not liking George Cortez has often led to a change of scenery. Not sure he would have been back in 2014 if the Riders didn't win last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquie Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 From this article in the Vancouver Sun from June, it sounds like Washington may have been O'Shea's first choice: “When Mike O’Shea became the head coach, they needed a defensive coordinator,” Benevides said of Winnipeg. “I just knew, from what I’d heard, that if Mark was available that would have been a done deal. I knew if there wasn’t a situation provided for Mark, we would lose him. I didn’t want that to occur." http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Lions+assistant+Mark+Washington+wants+better/9919966/story.html#ixzz3Kd9eAjxy Etch was about 4th or 5th choice, wasn't he. It will be interesting to see if O'Shea will want to go after his original choice or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 @BomberJetsTalk: As per @PentonKirk, sounds like Bombers will keep Bellefeuille. Cortez unlikely.Another horrible decision by my favorite team. Disagree. I like the idea of wanting improvement but there will always be someone somewhere that somebody would Argue is better than the guy you have. I don't think marcel was a negative thus I am fine giving him another season. Walters needs upgrade the talent. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are back, so be it... whos to say this is even the case yet, i mean the dust hasnt even finished falling yet chicken littles.. Dude, who cares about a good start? Besides, MB really benefitted from Etchevary's defence the first 6 games. Only reason we won so many to start is because the defence was scoring so much and holding teams to very little. That being said.... Etch always looks like a genius in the first 6, then tanks... Therefore, it's not only MB that needs to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to try and repeat the exact wording because I don't remember but basically that when Saskatchewan makes their staff changes official, it could cause Winnipeg to explore the idea of bringing Cortez and/or Hall aboard.

Interesting but what Bob said seems to be his opinion on what might happen where Penton's tweet seems to be confirming a discussion he had with someone within the WBB organization. But what I find more interesting is that Penton doesn't mention Etchevery. Why did the team go out of the way to say MB's safe but not Etchevery?

Tracker Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think Bellefeuille gets a mulligan due to the horrible O-line he inherited and was the worst in the league for most of the year. That really falls on Walters and so I am willing to give Bellefeuille another go at it even though I am not completely sold on him. Etcheverry is another matter altogether and has earned a road map and apple. I still think (and hope) that O'Shea is the right person for head coach but he has to prove that this year.

I have a position contrary to yours, but am unable to express it in a wildly irrational manner, so it probably does not fit in with the tone of this thread.

Not defending Etch, but if one gets a mulligan, the other should. Lets not forget Kuale playing LB which is the equivalent of a crappy o-line. Lets not forget as well as Wild was lost for a good chuck of the season, as well as Zack Anderson going down. Our sack total just stopped once he was gone.
