Posted May 10, 20178 yr comment_261993 Looked into it after reading it on Riderfans this morning and there is a real concern that Richie might not be able to resume coaching this season due to some health issues. Not entirely sure what it is and don't really feel like we're in a position to know until he's ready for us to, but it sounds serious enough that it could prevent him from coaching. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a speedy recovery from whatever it is that is affecting Coach Hall. This is not good news, but for so many reasons other than football.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_261994 Surprising that we haven't heard anything in Winnipeg. Hoping for the best for Richie.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_261997 absolutely brutal....here's hoping he and his fam are going to be alright...
May 10, 20178 yr comment_261998 All of the above. Very surprising, hope it's not serious, hope for a strong and speedy rebound.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262001 Hypothetically if Richie can't go, who would coach the defense? someone internally or would they bring somebody else in?

I believe LB coach Glen Young is already very involved with the defence and O'Shea obviously has lots of knowledge there as well.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262039 Stubler probably or is he in Toronto still. I don't doubt the story but at the same time would like to hear it from a source with the bombers. If true... hope all Is well with coach. If not true... well, that's pretty evil.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262042 terrible news. Hope he makes a full recovery. If its something that isnt a career-ender maybe they'd keep it in-house with Hall "advising"...?
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262043 I want to see what Missick can do as DC he paid his due or how about Tim Burke? Edited May 10, 20178 yr by M.O.A.B.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262051 absolutely zero chance you bring in a new guy at this point. It's someone within the system to just carry on with what they're doing. At any point, this seems like entirely the wrong time to be speculating on that sort of thing. Let's just keep it to "Hope Coach Hall is okay, and will recover soon!"

I doubt Mike would have started this post if there was nothing to the story. Just got to hope it's nothing too serious and Ritchie pulls through it ok.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262068 Have the bombers officially announced their coaching staff? I know they announced Costello as the Oline coach, but this may be why it hasn't been announced.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262085 Mostly just reiterating what others have said..... but best wishes to Richie & his family. Life - is far more important than sports. Here's to hoping whatever is going on turns out okay.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262147 I hope he will be okay. He lives in Regina in the off-season, doesn't he. I guess that could be why it hit RiderFans before the media here has heard anything. 4 hours ago, Goalie said: Stubler probably or is he in Toronto still. Stubler wasn't kept on by Trestman. Chamblin is the Argos DC.
May 10, 20178 yr comment_262153 I thought someone mentioned before that Hall and Stubler both employ bend-dont break D
May 12, 20178 yr comment_262435 A friend of mine knows Richie well and says he should be good to go this season if his recovery stays on track...which it has. His attendance at mini camp was a very good sign apparently. He wouldn't tell me what the medical problem was out of respect for his friend, but did confirm that it is not life threatening.
