Some people are being dicks about it, but it really is a legitimate issue to question. Pretty much everybody on this site wanted us to do it, until we didn't. Then it's no big deal, and as you say, we should all get over it. It's hard for us to know to what extent they went looking for candidates, but you're right. I do want a thorough search. I guess I just never expected a thorough search to mean what others thought it might.

So how is it that an HC and an OC are being hired at the exact same time? Doesn't O'Shea get to hire his coaches? I wasn't there, but my assumption is talk of coordinators came up in the interview process. You'd think people would be thrilled that two guys with NO connection to eachother are going to be working on staff together, but somehow even THAT is ruled as fishy.

I'm getting tired of reading this stuff from you. Are you just determined to turn EVERYTHING into a jab at the football club?

Bluto ... who would you guess comes with OShea? and what do you think of him as a HC

Best of luck to him, but I can't see him getting a deal down there. As per official Bombers Twitter.

Yessssss two scouts!

I'd rather employ a goat.

I'm happy. Not ecstatic, but Higgins (or pretty much any other non-surprise candidate) would not have made me ecstatic either.

This is horrible news.

I like this entire thread.

O'Shea with Khari as OC suits me fine.

Creehan following Burke makes sense, they don't have a LB coach in Toronto. If O'Shea is the man, I wonder who they'd poach. You know what I'd love to see? O'Shea bring Maas with him and give him a promotion to QBC

No surprise you'd hate the halftime show seen as how you pretty much seem to hate everything. That being said, the halftime show isn't meant to cater to people already at the game or watching the game on TV. They're already watching, it's not meant as a "bonus" for them. The halftime show IS to cater to, as you put it, the 12 year old girl demographic. Get TV sets that wouldn't normally tune in to switch the channel. Up the ratings, up the ad revenue, it's that simple. And as much as I can't stand Hedley, I'll take them over outdated acts like BTO mumbling out lyrics nobody can understand. No surprise you'd pick out something as ridiculous as this to criticize me for. You can be an ass just like everybody else even though you claim you aren't. In a single post, you called something "one of the biggest WTF moments in a century", made a joke about sexual abuse against children and suggested Jennifer Hedger was "on something" during the halftime show. Speaking of ridiculous.

I understand the idea of trying to get eyeballs on the tv that wouldn't normally be there but I'm going to take great exception to the idea you'd take these guys over the outdated acts... Those acts have staying power for a reason and their songs popularity span across generations. In summary damn kids todays Musically? No, I wouldn't. In a live setting? Some of those acts just don't have the chops to produce a quality live performance anymore.

On the sixth day of Christmas, you should beg for a dictionary.

Out of curiosity why do you think Hervey is an awful GM? Terrible cap management abilities, his scouting is pretty awful, he's a royal ******* to media, he's broken several rules that a GM should know about, I could go on You could say the same about Taman aside from him being nice to the media. No I couldn't

The City of Regina Twitter account announced this before the game

Yeah I don't get why Burris would be done in Hamilton. Because he can't stop Kory Sheets?

I don't take it that way at all. There isn't a better fit in the entire league, Collaros knows that. He just wants to get paid. Why is Winnipeg a better fit over Ottawa ? Ottawa needs the stability of a veteran while they establish themselves. They will gamble on a young up and comer eventually as their starter but it wouldn't be smart for it to be in year one

I like Chris Jones but I think he's doomed in Edmonton. Hervey is an awful GM and I bet they go at it over personnel decisions frequently.

Not worried about Walters as GM.
