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

The speculation and fear mongering taking place in this thread about the DC and players is insane.. Cant people wait and be patient before stepping up to the edge of the ledge?

spuds is unable to recognize sarcasm lol

Haha, I was just thinking the same thing.

 

SPUDS 

Hall may not need the job...the issue then becomes does he want the job?

Richie Hall is flat-out good people and a darned good coach as well. His previous experience as a head coach ought to help him understand the type of working relationship that has to exist between head and assistant coaches, and so make for a smooth coordination, Whatever comes up should be easily resolved. Welcome Mr. Hall.

Is this true? If so ,you would think he may still be a head coach if this were true.. Unless he was a good coach with a bunch of bad players.

 

I think he is a much better choice for DC then we have had in the past while.

                 ……….Think of this as the anti-quick.

The previous couple of obviously goober posts notwithstanding there was overtones of "sky is falling.." in some of them..

Lol silly people.. Not knowing stuff.

According the a Bomber insider, the reason that Hall has not been announced as the DC was that all talks had to take place in The Cone Of Silence, which has delayed things.

1290 radio yesterday, they interviewed a reporter from Regina; Forget his name, but he was very complimentary about R. Hall.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement today.

I'm not normally in the impatient group... but with Benevides stepping out of the ring... and Quick signing on in Regina... I can't help but think, what's taking so long?

On the flip side of the coin, with the Saskatchewan job filled, who else is looking for a defensive coordinator?

 

I suppose it is possible Hall decides he just doesn't want to work next year like Benevides, but there isn't much other competition right now for DC jobs.  Most teams have kept theirs from last year.

Keep in mind that the Riders have said they are open to keeping Hall on staff, just not as DC.  Normally it would be hard to imagine someone wanting to be in that situation but Hall's ties to Regina are very strong, so it is a possibility.  Perhaps a remote possibility, but a possibility nonetheless.

I agree... and I expect Hall to be the DC... it's just hard not to get a little antsy...

For sure anything is possible.  Assuming he would stay as a defensive coach (and not special teams), can you imagine being demoted to work under a rookie DC who is basically there to run the defense of the head coach who fired you.

 

Awkward situation to be in and would have the makings for a dysfunctional staff / toxic atmosphere.  If I was the Riders administration, I wouldn't let that happen.  

Just so everyone can stop speculating ... Hall to Winnipeg is a done deal, it's just a matter of announcing it. I thought today would be the day, but it was pointed out to me that today is a Jets gameday so I would imagine tomorrow.

I've learnt that anything Mike posts is almost always 100% right; so I trust that it is a done deal and will not be as impatient in thinking the same as the others, quick is hired; benevides stepped down why no announcement!!!! I bet it comes out on a non jets game day while its not cold out side so that it is announced on a wonderful day hehe

 

Honestly though Mike, how do you know everything do you work for the Blue Bombers? 

Good news but don't expect bigger linebackers... Will all be db/lb types - which is fine

Think peach kuale and dunn are toast

Could see something like

Newman/Sherman-Taylor reed-Sears/unamba

If  I'm Walters, I'll make a run for McDougall.

I neither love nor hate Hall ... he has a track record such as it is

What's the downside on Hall?

Did the Riders fire him for no good reason?

Are the Riders stupid?

Or was it just time for a change, sorta like time to change your underwear?
