Interesting takes from those who went, so thanks. Bluto, I've said many of the same things and agree. Winnipeg got blasted for the transportation for the first two home games (rightly so) but the media wrote very little about the inability of Regina to host this event.

I like the combo of O'Shea and Khari. Hope its not Burke as our DC.

O'Shea with Stubler as a DC, Maas as a QBC and whoever as OC could be good.

We save $ then correct? I know we owe Burke for 2014 but if he coaches another club we only pay the difference correct?

I don't know if I can throw the ball as inaccurately as he can and look as bad doing it. That's a pretty high level to achieve. I can fumble a snap, fail to fall on it and let a defender take it to the house with the best of them. Throw a pretty sweet pick too. Plus I add the Cam Hall ability to tell off the fans.

I suspect many of us could perform at the level of Boltus.

Does who will hire effect the QB we go after? Khari may prefer Drew Willy. McManus may prefer Masoli or Brohm.

If true yet another reason why they shouldn't host but the media will just gloss over it, like they did lack of hotels.

So how long till Lawless writes an article on the genius of Taman? Not hard to put together a winner if you have an extra 100,000-$400,000?

Hope you are right Noeller.

Charlie was one of the best of all time, no question and that's without working out, proper diet and smoking. Give him Stegall's work ethic and he'd be the CFL Leader in rushing yards.

I want a clone that's half Mike Reilly, half Bud Grant.

Can't believe I forgot that. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Chris Jones is a good hire.

Well deserved. My question is, I believe its a three year wait, so why not 2012? Also when do they induct TY jONES?

Do they have a clown-shoe president with hair like the lead singer of Platinum Blonde promising that they will start the season in their new stadium? Platinum Blonde? Man you are really going back in time for that reference! For all the youngsters out there who have no clue who Platinum Blonde are. Next up - Lover Boy and Winger. Who are these chicks?

This. Plus it has to be worrisome that we take a poor ST Coach and make him GM in the space of a year.

No idea. Intrigued by O'Shea and Khari, Higgins based on track record.

Willy has looked better than Reilly at any point, really? I also said he failed to bring in NI talent in Winnipeg, been a little better in Regina. I think he's average but that's me, for every 2013 with him you get a 2005.

Right because their track record is just so terrible... Taman has a losing record as a GM and if reports are true has put the Riders in a pretty lousy place SMSwise. He's an average GM so yes given his mixed results, inability to build NI talent in Winnipeg, inability to find QBs, difficulties finding dbs among other spots, yeah I'd pass. Landed Heenan, LaBatte, found Kory Sheets, and Drew Willy, and has been to the Grey Cup three of the last five years. No other GM can say that. Again, awful track record... Had the first overall pick and took the best rated player, home town advantage, good points on Sheets, Willy is unproven. Wasn't running the show in 2009 and 2010.

So you would want Taman back?

Don't want O'Day or Taman.

Taman being buddy buddy with the media has covered up for the fact that he's often been a poor GM.

Regina is a fairly ugly city and to be honest shouldn't be hosting the Grey Cup. When you lack the hotels to put on a major event and people have to room with people in their homes or stay an hour away, you shouldn't be the host. When you lack the eating establishments, see above. When you don't have enough taxis, well you know where I'm going with this.
