Posted April 1, 20178 yr comment_256639 Avon Cobourne has left to pursue other interests outside of football. Thanks for sticking it out, Avon. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/01/bombers-running-backs-coach-avon-cobourne-parted-ways/ Edited April 1, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27
April 1, 20178 yr comment_256640 I don't think there's that much that Avon could have imparted to Harris that he doesn't already know....adios Cobourne
April 1, 20178 yr comment_256641 I like having former CFL players as part of the coaching staff. So I really liked it when they picked him up and am a little disappointed that we wasted that developmental coaching time with him.
April 1, 20178 yr Author comment_256645 I think they'll bring a guy in. At least that's what the story implies.
April 1, 20178 yr comment_256647 I like the idea of former CFL players in positional coaching roles. One name that popped into my head right away was Chad Kackert.

He's never coached at that level before as well as he's in his late 50's or early 60's. There's much more qualified candidates out there. Edited April 1, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27

If you don't have ideas, then don't criticize other peoples ideas. Reaves can clearly motivate athletes, knows the game and lives in Winnipeg.. or maybe he left, I don't know....either way, I think he's a good candidate. Edited April 1, 20178 yr by Floyd

I never criticized you. I just made a comment. Grow a thicker skin.

If Reaves was interested in coaching he would have started years ago. I trust O'Shea and Walters to find a suitable replacement. Edited April 1, 20178 yr by Jacquie

April 2, 20178 yr comment_256672 Its a good position to groom a coach at. Id say either invite a coach to camp and if things go well offer them a position. If not buck can double, or it can be included in another spot. RBs dont really need their own coach in the cfl. We went soo long with out a qb coach which is much worse. Either a WR/rb coach to allow plop to be oc and assistant qb, and buck be qb and assistant oc, or a former player type would be good. Having 3 offensive coaches one being the oc is a bit limited.
April 2, 20178 yr comment_256679 what's Bloi-Dei Dorzan doing these days? I'd like him as a coach just so I get to say "Bloi-Dei Dorzan" again. Edited April 2, 20178 yr by kelownabomberfan

April 2, 20178 yr comment_256699 Just a side thought, but I wonder how much the Canadian Dollar and the taxes play in these decisions.
