It might not be a bad thing to have a rookie coach come in. Yes, because he hasn't had any coaching experience anf their could be the chance he craps the bed because of inexperience. It could also be beneficial as no one will have any video or knowledge of how the offense will be ran. I'd prefer a coach with experience but wouldn't be against a rookie either.

So what record will O'Shea have to achieve next year to earn another contract? 9-9? 10-8? Surely it must be better then .500. Not one single person said "close to .500"... every response before yours said minimum 9-9 or better... I agree we should be looking at 10-8 or 11-7... don't make stuff up to ridicule every poster on this forum... Also a 9-9 season is a playoff berth in the CFL. 7-11 was the magic number this year.

9-9 minimum after our past 2 dismal seasons.

Plot twist....Milonovich is fired and Brady bumped to head coach and suddenly SM becomes available

For shits and giggles. What would this team have looked like hadn't he messed his knee up? Teams rally around their qbs. defense, offense and special teams play better with their main star, so I ponder the question.

We're all disappointed and now the Argo game next week means nothing to us. We'll be playing for pride only. Do we have any? A loss to the Argos, O'Shea's old team, is going to be ... surreal. I can see Miller losing his **** and firing some people after that game.At 5-12, that game shouldn't mean anything to us but pride and jobs on the line

still a rough rider. ......from 12 years ago

Riders have more talent offensively than the Alouettes do, don't fret just yet.

Chad Owens just locked up play of the year....what a hell of a catch.

we won't even see it comin

haha, this is very true.

Hopefully Walters can make an offer large enough where living with a large paycheck out of province won't be so bad

I'm guessing he's still at least close to a month away, if he still comes back at all.

Why not nicols and wild instead?if it came down to a financial crunch?

Sure henoc is a top line backer could definitely help us with our stop run game but you can't trade that for a qb who's got experience and abilities to compete with other teams. We may not find another henoc but with nfl cuts,there may be something there to help

I want what everyone here is smoking.

The retros means this is our season turning point, grey cup or bust.

I thought he was heading to the office after this season and Dickenson was taking over? I understand the Riders are in desperate need but I don't believe this possibility one bit.

I think we come put and win by at least two scores on Saturday. Nichols isn't a great qb but he will show winnipeg that he's much better than the hot garbage we've got right now.

He absolutely knows that when Willy does finally return that hes cut.

buck promoted to coordinator the rest of the season?

I'd be willing to put my first born that Nichols is our starter next week and we win by at least 20. He may have thrown more ints than tds but it's more than Brohm has done.

2007 was one of my favorites I attended. Yes, I realize we lost painfully with a dozen seconds left but our o was really clicking, Derek Armstrong ( loved this guy) had 198 yards receiving and the atmosphere was just fantastic.

Why not try something new, it's obviously clear that what we've been doing so far hasn't done much on field.

as much as it would be nice to relate him, they can't. That is until Nichols learns the play book....patience my friend.
