On an interim basis, possibly, but not as a full time role...Not a chance. I remember hearing an interview or ready an article where he said he would only consider it on an interim basis...

Right, which is why I said above, was it Buck or was it Grigsby that was the problem? Even I lean more towards Grigsby being the issue, but still. I think people are just thinking Buck is this magical creature that's going to fix all the problems of this team and want to promote him way too fast. He still has a lot to learn and a long way to go before even becoming an OC. And as much as I hated him as a player, if he can become a good coach, then by all means, keep him on. I just hate this fixation on him that he's some kind of savior and super totally awesome coach to be, when no one here really knows what he can or can't do. I think you're extrapolating other's posts to strengthen your point... no one here has suggested he's a magical figure and will save the franchise... no one here has said he should be our OC or our HC today... I think there was only one or two suggestions that he should be the QBC today.... The basic jist of the Buck love is.... he's a great guy for the team and for the community and we hope he turns out to be a great coach someday... At least that's how I feel...

I gotta say, as far as signing a Canadian fullback off the streets, already in his mid-twenties... Pontbriand was a pretty nice find by Mack...

I know it's been mentioned... but what I really like is we're signing KEY players early in the off-season... in the past it seems only back-ups and fringe players were re-signing in Nov-Dec...

I have a Jon Ryan jersey... unfortunately I bought it when I was in university so I was too cheap and just got the press-on numbers

Jordan Yantz for QB!!

Did you not include Heenan and Jones b/c you are just assuming they will resign in Sask/Cgy?

I would love to see at least 2 or 3 new starting Canadians.... which I think is attainable via the draft, free agency, or even NFL "cast-offs"

Why must you continually embarrass yourself by bringing stats and logic into arguments... this is no place for that!

Sounding more and more like the Eskies Depth might be 1) Nichols 2) White 3) some guy named Matt Scott or Goltz??... wonder if Reilly will dress as the #3...

Didn't the same thing happen last year with Alex Hall?? Played in the east for 14 (ish) games and was listed as a west division all-star... essentially based on all the stats he compiled in the east...

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL... Defence is a different story though... So,how am I wrong then? It always comes down to talent. Whether it's on both sides of the ball or in just one aspect of the team. They have plenty of talent on offense but they're not getting it done... that's on coaching... it's pretty clear you are right about the defense...

Do they still play playoff games in The Big O?.... Better question... does that stadium still exist?

I agree that BC has as good a chance as Ham or Mtl of representing the East... but not as favourable as it looked early in the year... I think BC beats Mtl but then loses to Hamilton...

I'm not on the "Milo coming here to be OC" bandwagon... but if I were an Argos fan, this article would do nothing in inspire confidence that he'll definitely be back...

IF we beat BC we would have had a chance... IF we beat Sask once we would have had a chance... IF we beat Hamilton on 1st and goal from the 3 we would have had a chance... But then again all those things could happen and.... IF we don't win last second against Mtl... IF we don't win last second against Ham... IF we don't get the game handed to us in the snow-bowl against Calgary... then we're in the exact same situation... no use in discussing woulda/coulda/shouldas... the season went the way it did, revisionist history doesn't change that...

I think I have to agree that they got quite a bit... they will just need some time to develop... IMO the 2014 Redblacks are much better than 2013 Bombers were... and we didn't get any "help"

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL... Defence is a different story though...

I guess this hasn't been mentioned yet but goes without saying... with the TO win we pick #2, #11, #20 etc...

I would be quite shocked if Campbell is fired... you NEED to give a HC of an expansion team AT LEAST 2 years... I know they expected better than 2-3 wins but not even the most optimistic Ottawa homer expected a playoff berth in year 1...

IMO if Etch mixed up some "conventional" sets along with his "unconventional" approach the defense could work quite well... Have a base 4-3 on running downs then throw an "unconventional" look on 2nd and long... or whatever, someone smarter than me can figure it out... mixing it up could go a long way

Also, I think Sask beats Edm.... Edm has their #2 spot locked in and they know there's a chance they play Sask again next week... so I think they come out with a very vanilla game plan... something to keep the guys in rhythm, but not enough to show if they have any tricks up their sleeves...

This is actually very interesting... it's extremely rare that a team could finish anywhere from first in the division to completely out of the playoffs... should make for some fun watching As for the west... Fake Mark Cohon said it best in a tweet earlier in the week... 2 teams trying to lose vs 2 teams in playoff spots likely resting some starters...

I believe they automatically become FAs once the season ends... maybe the team made the decision to release them immediately instead of doing so after the season "officially" ends... This just seems peculiar because of the timing... I think that's what gets people worked up... not necessarily the loss of Kyle Norris... you would think there would be some mandate that would prevent these kinds of things from happening... I mean Ottawa's season is done but they still have a game to play... why can't someone pluck from their PR right now (rhetorical question)??

Sounds like a pretty impressive kid...
