What if a front office combo of Walters/Worman/McManus works? Danny Mc should at least be able to spot a good QB.

Best fans in the CFL since 2007 maybe. Nobody mentions the two telethons they held to keep the team going, near bankruptcy twice, crowds of 18-20000 a decade or so ago. Riders = best fans in the CFL is as true as Obama being a great president or the NDP balancing a budget.

Baur wouldn't extend Ritchie at the start of 2004 and added Daley to his coaching staff. Poor start in 2004, Lyle fires Ritchie and the descent into crap begins.

Wife is from Calgary no? Seems like they are just formalizing what we all expected.

10-8 in 2011

That dream isn't going to happen.

Ugh giving up the first round pick outright is too high a price to pay for a FA qb. This. Toronto should be the one who's desperate, they're losing an asset for nothing, if Ottawa drafts him, you get zip, he leaves as a free agent, you get zip.

Hopefully not our 1st. A third, sure.

If Hamilton wins the Cup, they almost have to protect Burris or bring him back, heck even if they lose. Given the reckless abandon that he plays with, plus the shots he's taken, its quite possible Reilly will have a short career. However its only a guess.

i dunno man... i look at who the 24 nominal starters would be and only see a handful that i would "just have to" keep. think about it. Turner, Anderson, Wild, Muamba, Sears, Washington, January, Watson?

If Khari hired an OC such as Worman or Berry with experience, a DC with experience like Reed, an OL coach with experience who's a teacher hypothetically Wylie would that offset his inexperience and allow him to be successful?

Does Edmonton have better NIs? Henoc is miles ahead of any NI they dress for starters. Does Edmonton have more talent?

Dennmark I'd argue just got back to his 2011 form this year, can't see he improved. Muamba abd Kolhert, yes. Don't think the coaching staff was a positive though pigseye, do you?

Glad Burke is no longer HC. Want him gone, not as DC, totally overrated there. Would rather see Khari as OC but will support him oh course if hired.

Wasn't saying Jones would come here, was saying I think Chris Jones among others is a better DC than Tim Burke. I think Rick Campbell is a better DC too.

1. Don't think he's the best DC in the CFL. I'd take Chris Jones over him for one. 2. Optics of such a move are brutal. 3. Don't think he has enough credibility in the locker room anymore. 4. Too much potential for conflict.

Optomistic on this one, like his football and business background, hope he lets the GM do their job and doesn't hire a sock puppet.

Whyte made some pretty negative remarks about playing here back when he was in BC.

Hope the Stamps kick the Riders asses next week.

On a semi-related note, Paul Wiecek of the Freep says he's betting that the Bombers will start next year with Glenn and Collaros behind center. Why would we trade for Glenn if we can land Collaros? Does Wiecek know Glenn is not an FA?

I've got it, keeping Burke is a ploy to up beer sales.

Burke is 7-21 and has been outscored by an average of 11.1 ppg.

Hope the hire Marcel so he's gone from here.

They will still have a poor season and they'll sell less season tickets, sell less merchandise and continue to lose more fans.

4th best rushing season ever, that's pretty darn good. His team won three more games in a much stronger division. I agree Ray was impressive but missing too much of the season costs him imo.
