We're still a recovering organization though. We've been the CFL's worst operation since 2009. Other teams' scraps SHOULD interest us. But should we scrap our co-ordinators, or worse yet throw their names in the wind as "potential to be replaced" before they've found a capable replacement? What if we can't secure that guy? Will the players in the locker room respect their DC if he's openly rumored to be replaced? Good organizations "make their dominoes fall" because they have the luxury of being able to be ahead of their competition. We're not a destination job right now... we can't do that. The hardest thing about being charged with leading a losing organization, is that it's soooo hard to turn it around. Look at Hamilton in the 2000's. Took them over 10 years of futility. Yes we should scrap any coordinator we find lacking. As soon as you make the decision that they are lacking, they've already got one foot out the door. We should not in any way name folks as "potential to be replaced". Cut them and replace them. There's always more than one guy who can replace them even if we miss out on the top prospect, especially when you're talking about MB and Etch. Good organizations make things happen, not because they are ahead of their competition, but because they have they make the right decisions more often than not. Sure it's hard to turn a losing organization around, but it's even harder if you keep the dead wood employed because you're too scared that you might get even worse. backwards as usual. Replace first cut second. If they're waiting to make sure they get their choices before firing anyone what good does it do to air all your dirty laundry in public? You seem to be one of the people who just wants the coordinators fired no matter who they are replaced with but that's a silly attitude that isn't going to be shared by the team. Honestly I'd suggest you only want a press conference so you have something new to ***** about. Probably just want to know if you cna really start in on the bitching about keeping the coordinators or not. Too much entitlement and impatience here.

why do people even bring up the word conspiracy> There's no conspiracy at all, it's pretty ******* transparent, it's just various entities trying to protect their market share.

OIl is below 70 cents a barrel and still falling because there is an over supply globally, prices won't get jacked up until the price comes back up as supply gets cut and that will take some time to happen. Companies don't just shut down their production instantly. OPEC has already said they won't cut supply so the first to be cut will be American oil shale production, if a low price persists then you'll see oil sands production cut, but that would require several years to really see a big impact, too much investment already to just walk away from because prices are down.Of course you mean 70 bucks. However OPEC has only said they are not cutting NOW. The higher cost producers within OPEC are outraged at that decision. OPEC made a decision but is far from unanimous. They have to revisit this issue in a few months as well. There is way more oil in the ground than just American shale that could be curtailed. What happens first is the capital drilling programs will be curtailed before any current producing rig is shut off. This stuff happens all the time in the resource industry. As an example Mines produce all the time during a dip in the Underlying commodity. I know how the oil industry works, I'm part of it, I work in the production side of things. The reason I say that it's American oil shale will be the first cut is because it's the most cost and energy intensive kind of oil to produce and it's the newest player. The way they are getting a lot of that out of the ground it's pretty straightforward to postpone production there. There will be lots of production cut, but a lot of it depends on the company drilling it and the complexity of the play. Really this all came about because the United States has become more self sufficient and less reliant on mid eat oil. OPEC doesn't want their global market share impacted so they're willing to take on lower prices to drive some of the production from the higher investment sources down. That means Oil shales are first on the chopping block.

Because he has a proven track record and most people ignore Sasks woes because of injured qb and crap receivers dropping balls. MB has never shown an elite offense and the fans are tired of mediocrity on offense. What do you suggest the blue do? Cortez from everything I've read, has a very strong personality that leads to short tenures everywhere he has coached recently. Talent or not, is that really what we want here? This team could probably use some strong personalities. After the lame assed nice guys with poor systems we've had would be a positive change to get someone to grab the offense by the balls and get em playing the right way.

Montreal seems the most logical place

it still boils down to impatience and entitlement.

the jersey they came up with last time is just an abortion. I won't even buy a blue one cause it's hideous. The **** they got for the signature this year was even worse. Whoever was working with Reebok on that front was clearly an idiot who had no idea what fans want in a jersey. Simple is better.

Cause he puts a good offense on the field and has for quite a number of years now. More than that though, Bellefool needs to get gone. We'll never be a winning team with him around.

I certainly hope she acts better than she does in Game of Thrones. Easily one of the worst actors on the show and I'm not sure if it's her fault or the writing and directing they give her.

Hell I don't even know how good of an offensive coordinator Khari Jones is or isn't but as a shameless fanboi I want him involved in the winnipeg organization in some way.

Well he spent a few years in Hamilton and got caught up in a coaching change, went to Saskatchewan and then got a promotion to go to BC, not like he's been run out of town everywhere he's gone.

That already happened. And statistically Durant had a really good year but he didn't like Berry so he got him fired. Durant is a good qb but he acts like a whiny ***** sometimes and is a real coach killer.

I think Wally Buono the coach was better than Wally Buono the GM.

Glenn would wind up as the starter there without a doubt if you ask me.

Noeller has one, really fun for nostalgia purposes

Experts and scholars looking to push their own agenda. Seriously, apply even a shred of logic to what makes racism and you will see that it has nothing to do with oppression or power. Anyone can be a racist regardless of what their status is. Trying to change the definition of racism to what you are suggesting is quite frankly one of the most racist things I've ever heard.

Can he stay healthy? That's the question I want answered.

Well thought out and level headed.

No this is flat out 100% wrong. Racism has nothing to do with oppression. Any kind of ism has nothing to do with oppression. Your opinion, and you're welcome to it, but its wrong. You'e confusing racism with being ignorant. Racism is about power. Its about controlling who access resources, and deciding who's restricted from it. No I think you are confusing racism with something else. Racism has nothing to do with power, racism has to do with holding ignorant opinions about specific races. There's another post in this thread that defines it, you should read the definition and adjust your thinking on the matter because you have an incorrect opinion on what racism is.

So why are white older males in control of most power positions in Western society. Where is this artificial advantage you speak of. That isn't what I'm saying, old white males are in power because of reasons from long ago some of which do include racism and sexism. The point I am making is that going forward as a society treating people differently only perpetuates those isms.

A lot of Wallys moves appear to be of the reactionary variety done out of anger over a bad playoff loss... no wonder so many message board fans approve.

No this is flat out 100% wrong. Racism has nothing to do with oppression. Any kind of ism has nothing to do with oppression.

**** that noise, professional athletes MUST be emotionless robots program to make plays.

Racism is rampant among all races and it keeps perpetuating racism and inequality. As soon as everyone starts treating everyone else as equals it all goes away.Affirmative action or harming one group to prop up another doesn't help it, it just shifts hard feelings around. Treat everyone equally, don't just say it, actually do it and Treating people differently isn't the way to end discrimination. A good example is the reserve system for natives. It segregates people and treats them differently and look at all the problems are caused by that.
