Official as per Bombers Twitter account. Length of deal not disclosed.

How realistic is an emergency call up for Morrissey?

Impossible to say as of right now. I think anything, including moving down in the draft, is possible.

What's a girl?

Sorry, if that was happening or not happening, it would be something our CEO would announce publicly. But I love the rampant speculation! Rampant is what we do. Yes, I see that... in droves. Let me rephrase the question, because I'm mildly curious. Do you know (either way) the answer to my question? Kim, be very careful before (if) answering this question. LOL. Don't worry about me, I didn't fall off the turnip truck last night. And as such, my participation in this thread shall end. But I do look forward to the iron-clad declarations of what my silence means... I know that's also a popular topic around here. It can only mean one thing. We've traded EJ Kuale for Ben Heenan.

no

Chance or no chance, it was obvious right from the get go that he was not the right coach for that team.

Any comment on whether or not the club is ditching the current uniforms in favor of the royal blues next season?

Way to go! Congratulations!

Still, you never know. He was DC for Cal when Tedford was the boss there.

Question is... who else is available ? Clancy Pendergast http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/usc-trojans-nfl-clancy-pendergast-next-coaching-job-120914 You wish.

I think the way it works now is as so: 3 non playoff teams draft top 3 in order determined by regular season standings Then the divisional semi losers draft 4-5 in order determined by regular season standings Divisional final losers draft 6-7 in order determined by regular season standings Grey Cup loser drafts 8 Grey Cup winner drafts 9

Imagine the reaction around here if we demoted a coach citing differences in football philosophies but then offered to give him a secondary role within the staff?

The thing to keep in mind is that the rankings mean very little going forward until the draft. People will use them as law in discussions on forums, but the reality of the situation is this list is formed by the rankings submitted by the nine front offices in the CFL and teams are going to be deceptive with a purpose as we get closer to draft day. Yep. But if the Bombers are hoping to have an OL that is comparable to the Als, the Stamps and the Riders, I think this pool is the best chance to expedite that process. A couple of top picks OL combined with a stud OL picked up in the free agency, I think it's not impossible for the team to field 5 national OL next year. There really would be no sense in using 5 Canadian offensive linemen next year. Especially considering none of these top tier prospects are strong options at tackle. Alex Mateas has played center and only center for UConn ... last time he played tackle was in the CJFL. Chungh and McEwen in Calgary are guards. Danny Groulx ... maybe but I'm not banking on him (or Dillon Guy or Jacob Ruby) being contributors at tackle in year one.

At this point, probably the top 4. As well as Lemar Durant, who is still (for some reason) absent from these draft rankings.

Not surprised Adam Konar cracked the top 20, he had a pretty strong run in the postseason with Calgary and he was fringe top 20 already. Between him, Archambault and Chris Ackie, there are some pretty intriguing LB prospects out there. I think eventually all 3 of them could leapfrog Shortill on draft boards.

20. Ettore Lattanzio, DL, Ottawa 19. Jake Harty, WR, Calgary 18. Ese Mrabure-Ajufo, DL, Laurier 17. Byron Archambault, LB, Montreal 16. Adam Konar, LB, Calgary 15. Brandon Tennant, DL, Laval 14. Karl Lavoie, OL, Laval 13. Dillon Guy, OL, Buffalo 12. Chris Ackie, DB, Laurier 11. Nic Shortill, LB, McMaster 10. Jacob Ruby, OL, Richmond 9. Addison Richards, WR, Regina 8. Danny Groulx, OL, Laval 7. Sukh Chungh, OL, Calgary 6. Sean McEwen, OL, Calgary 5. Nic Demski, WR, Manitoba 4. Tyler Varga, RB, Yale 3. Daryl Waud, DL, Western 2. Alex Mateas, OL, UConn 1. Brett Boyko, OL, UNLV

? Take away all the receivers and the quarterback's passes all fall incomplete... That's stupid, the defensive backs would intercept most of them!
