DR. CFL Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I know a former football person who had a conversation with Bob Irving. Irving says that the three amigos will be back as well. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Taman and Tillman have a lot of baggage, but Higgins might be a better choice for head coach. Higgins' experience as a possible GM is iffy. Tillman by far would be the best choice, he's been actively recruiting for the Ti-Cats and still doing a great job but his reputation is probably too much for the fans to stomach right now.

Noeller Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Coupl of tweaks will go a long way. No extension for anybody unless we see dramatic improvement next year. Make em all earn an extension in their final year. I'm expecting big things if a quality, CFL-experienced OC shakes loose and we pick em up.

iso_55 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I agree no extensions. If Miller, Walters & O'Shea all stay then they're going to have to produce an absolutely remarkable season in 2016 just to survive. If these guys think the pressure was high this past season just wait till next year when the screws will really be tightened. Right from the end of this season thru next season, I foresee it not being very much fun for them the next 12 months if they all last that long. Glad it's not me. Someone like O'Shea won't even have a free season to relax if he's fired as his contract will have expired but I'm sure he'll find work again in the CFL.

TBURGESS Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 There's no way this franchise is stupid enough to keep MB around are they? Are they? They were last year and the year before that. They were stupid enough to keep Mack and Tim Burke around for an extra year and to give PLAP a new contract so he wouldn't be a 'lame duck' coach then fire him 8 games into the next season.

Noeller Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 MB will get canned but my concern is that there won't be a really experienced CFL OC available. Having both Benny and Hall come available last season was a total fluke. We couldn't possibly be that lucky on O this time could we? I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of trying out yet another inexperienced guy at OC... blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I dont think tillman is the right hire when youve already pissed off a good chunk of ur fan base, would be a pr nightmare.

Dragon37 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why have most people not figured out that Higgins sucks? The only success he had was largely because of the people before him building decent teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 He did a pretty good job in Edmonton & Calgary where he was the GM. Stamps were something like 3-15 in 2004 under Matt Dunigan & got them a winning record & a playoff spot the next season when he took over as GM & HC.

Dragon37 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 He was a .500 coach and GM in Calgary and when they moved him out they became the dominant team they are now. If you want middling you go Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 That 2004 Stamps team was brutal... As bad as the Bombers are now. If you give Walters our GM now all kinds of chances to prove himself then you should give Higgins the benefit of the doubt as well during the time he was with the Stamps. He had very little to build with when he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon37 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I do not give Walters any chances. I never have. I wasn't in favour of him getting the job. I have never been a fan of Higgins, especially when he was the officiating head office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
