Contract talks between #bombers and Richie Hall continue. Mike Benevides still talking with Mike O'Shea but Hall is leading candidate

Am I understanding this correctly that BOTH Hall and Benevides want to be the Bombers DC, and we're choosing between the two?  I thought Benevides to the Riders was basically done.

Who would have thunk it, right? They probably outbidding each other to get the DC gig here.

Lawless speculates that something hAppened that makes Benevides a possibility.

My favourite Gary line today was, when asked who the Bombers were leaning towards he said "they haven't told me...in fact they won't even talk to me about this". Lol

Is it safe to assume that by Saturday morning (after 48 hours) we will know who the next Bombers DC is?

Not an official announcement. They don't make those on the weekend.

Could this be Benevides using the Bombers as leverage to get more money out of the Riders?  If the Riders don't get Benevides, they're screwed and might end up with Etch or Marshall!  lol

If we sign Heenan, Benevides will be our new DC... heard it from Lawless.

Who cares about the official announcement...these decisions always leak on Twitter way before the official announcement.

Or Reed... Or Reinbold.

Because the tweets are not always correct. Nothing is official until the the team says it.

Did Benevides fire Chapdelane in BC?  That could make for an awkward work environment.

You're stuck in the 80s!!  Twitter announced Etch was the Bombers DC like a month before the official announcement.

I seem to recall there were a number of reports that Wally was upset with the offense so it's hard to say who made the actual decision.

Hmmmmm...if Benevides really wanted to go to Regina but got bad vibes or such, but Hall wanted to come here all along, I would rather have Hall. Don't like the idea of a coach whose first choice would have been elsewhere.

And Twitter said Stubler was going to be our new DC last season.

But no one said it was done.  Once Lawless/Penton/Madani tweet: "have learned Bombers have hired______as their DC", that's official enough for me.

I don't recall hearing that the Riders were his first option, only that the Riders had made him an offer.

Since he still hasn't signed that offer, it leads me to believe the Riders may not be his first option.

I don't know, I only really trust Tait... Penton and Bob I find fairly reliable also.... Anybody else I have a wait and see

Hate to rain on people's parades but it is possible we get neither. Benevides may take the DC job in Saskatchewan & Hall could also return to the Riders in another capacity. Until the actual announcement is made I won't count on anything. #weweresupposedtogetstublerbutgotetchinsteadremember?

Uh.. No.. Not really.. When the media prints a quote like "expect a decision on the DC being hall or benevides in 48 hrs.." Leads me to believe that both are interested... Both want the job and both are waiting to see who get it.

Not, both are balking, neither are gonna be bombers and the sky is falling yet again, oh noes!

We are please to announce that...... buck pierce is the new DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR!  ..... lol

Oh go stuff it, really. Can't post anything here without someone twisting what I said around & making it into something it isn't. All I meant was that until it's official nothing is sure & anything can happen. That's it. Nothing else. And in reality, it's true. After Rich Stubler strung us along for over a month  & then went to Calgary at the last minute last off season I'm being cautious as I thought his coming here was a done deal.
