mbrg Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Cut the legs out from under Buono pretty quickly, that sly old Huffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 In my opinion, a lot of general managers in this league operate with their best interests in mind. Not always what's best for the franchise. Hufnagel proving again that he does what is best for his franchise. Great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Huff wears the pants in that organization and no one else. This move is to show everyone that he's in charge and nothing is going to deviate him from his plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 And whomever steps out onto the field as head coach, when words come out of his mouth, if you look closely, you will see Huffer's lips moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Planing ahead... Good grief... wish we could do that lol Looks good on Huf forsure Well, seeing as they hold the Calgary organization, as a model for the Bombers org. to aspire to, I guess you are getting your wish. And that's why we've put into place, perhaps our best scouting dept. ever. - planning ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Pretty funny. Shivers had announced his last season was forth coming as GM and Danny Barrett was going to take over. Well they tanked it Shivers got run out of town and Barrett didn't become the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not the best ever but I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think it is anywhere close to deserving that title. Moe Leggett was a good pickup. Bruce Johnson and Paris Cotton are decent players. Beyond that? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Logan007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Somewhat surprised he didn't retire from HC and go out on top, but he has a good chance next year as well. I'm interested to see how this plays out for Dickenson. As Benevides found out sometimes following your mentor doesn't always work out well. Now Dickenson is set up for success with Mitchell at QB, but he will also face a lot higher expectations than he did if he had gone to one of the many franchises that were interested in him.

Maybe I would have been safer to say…the most complete scouting dept. ever. Of course we'll have to wait for results, but if you don't put the people out there to begin with…ya ain't going to get nutin'. Suffice to say it doesn't negate what I was saying about the org. trying to put people in place to make the org. better than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Pretty funny. Shivers had announced his last season was forth coming as GM and Danny Barrett was going to take over. Well they tanked it Shivers got run out of town and Barrett didn't become the GM. Yeah but the Riders talent base was this wide & that thin.... Besides a smart ass attitude by both Barrett & Shivers did them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides a smart ass attitude by both Barrett & Shivers did them in. Not to mention Nealon Greene and whoever they were trying to turn into a QB. Funny story. In 2003 I took my son who was 12 at the time to the Washington State football camp in June that year. I was watching a drill with the qbs as my son was part of it but with kids his own age. A qb fumbled the ball running when he got hit & one of the American college coaches started yelling, "Nealon Greene. Nealon Greene. Just like Nealon when he fumbles." For a CFL fan & one who can't stand the Riders that was both a funny & precious moment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think John Hufnagel did this knowing that if he didn't step aside Dave would leave. It's not like Huff to string anyone along so I think this was a compromise. I'm sure Hufnagel wants to get 100 regular season wins as a CFL HC. He's at 92 now so he should reach that mark by Labour Day next year. if he wins another Grey Cup all the sweeter. I think Wally was going to make Dave an offer he couldn't refuse especially if he wouldn't tell Dickenson when he'd be retiring so Huff acted on it.

mbrg Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Dickenson has had multiple opportunities in recent years to interview for head coaching jobs and has passed on them. If he's trying to push his way up he's not pushing very hard. It seems like he's more than happy preparing to succeed as a first time head coach instead of the standard sink-or-swim approach most coaches get. sweep the leg and DR.

iso_55 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 If you were a rookie HC, what situation would you want to come into? The Stampeders or a team like Winnipeg that MOS took over? Dickenson knows the city, the organization, the assistant coaches & the players. And everyone knows him. To stay is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
