bigg jay Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Apparently he still live in Winnipeg. He does. They just had Lapo & Climie on the Jets game. Lapo was decked out in Jets gear and Orelesky mentioned that he still lives here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'd be pretty pumped to have Lapo as our OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think Lapo realizes if he stays out of the coaching game too long he ain't getting back in and as his wife and kids live in Wpg. it's a good fit for him. I have no opinion whether he is the best choice for OC or not but I'm confident he will be better than the last guy cause he just couldn't possibly be worse. the watcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The consensus is that becoming the coach in Regina is a suicide mission at present. Crappy talent and a GM who is a very suspect rookie, so-its a no- win situation there. Sounds strangely familiar- think the Riders will use the O'Shea excuse?

Captain Blue Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 LaPo feels like an uninspired choice. Would have rather gone with a new, younger offensive guy. Think overall LaPo is pretty conservative. That said I thought he did a good job adding wrinkles to the offense weekly when he was here as a HC, but then just didn't have the personnel. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Lapo is about a half step up from Bellefeuille. I woulda been fine if he was the initial guy, but he's definitely not the upgrade guy. brett_c_b and Logan007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 "Better than Bellefeuille" is not much of a compliment. The only significant upside is that he would be next in line to replace O'Shea when he stumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Name guy. TSN. Living in Winnipeg. Step up Or lateral? LaPofeuille. Bald. No excitement. Coach's playbook. Rerun. Leery, I am.

Guest J5V Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Today on 1290 radio, Lawless stated categorically that LaPolice would be named as the new OC with the Bombers. Apparently he still live in Winnipeg. That would be hugely disappointing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is certainly worse than Lapo. But barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 LaPo as OC....seriously? Another exhaustive search for the best possible candidate comes to an end? More like a crash and burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sucks for us. We always miss the boat. Not really we had the guy and dumped him. Also Lapolice is the easy / lazy hire that will appease the fans. I just don't see why the guy would want to work with this club..its uninspired.

B-F-F-C Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Lapo looks like a freakin offensive genius on TV. But he has an entire half of football to look at replays and think about what he's going to say. As a coach he's never proven himself to be a good game manager where you have to make quick decisions nor did he excel at managing the clock at the end of the game. I just cant stop thinking that this is going to be a huge mistake. Tracker and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this instance the Bombers can't afford another "swing and a miss".If they have another bad year Icould see attendance falling off dramatically. Sometimes safe and uninspired is better.Lapo is at worst a competent OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sucks for us. We always miss the boat. Typical...Murphy could crash and burn just as easily as he succeeds and makes the Riders a contender again. And quite frankly are the Riders that bad? Next year they'll have Durant back which was probably 90% of their problem this year. But again certain people here will applaud whatever change another team makes but will **** on whatever the Bombers do. There's a saying about a "leopard never changes its spots".

More like a crash and burn. This is my main concern, who else did they even talk to??? Obviously not Jason Maas, Tommy Condell or Steve McAdoo.
