Lapo did a good job turning Glenn into a real QB .... I hope he can do this with Davis & Lefevour this year ... I expect they will both get time but this might be the year that Lefevour turns the corner .... otherwise he is just a hack and we will need Davis to step up

KG has long been established as a QB and didn't see the field at all with us so I doubt Lapo had any impact on him Lapo: Argos (01), Bombers (02-03), Ticats (04-05), Argos (06), Riders (07-09), Bombers (10-12), Bombers (16-present) Glenn: Riders (01-03), Argos (04), Bombers (04-08), Ticats (09-11), Stamps (12-13), Redblacks (14), Lions (14), Riders (15) Als (15-16), Bombers (16), Riders (present) Edited May 23, 20178 yr by Taynted_Fayth

Glenn was a MOP nomination in 2007, BTW. Kit Cartwright was the OC that season. Until last season, LaPolice and Glenn had never worked together.
May 23, 20178 yr comment_263966 I think you may be referring to the "other" Lapo, Kit Cartwright, who was the Bombers OC back then Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2007 Head Coach Doug Berry (Dec. 15, 2005 – Nov. 12, 2008) More Head Coaches Assistant Coaches Corey Chamblin – Defensive backs (WTF?)

May 23, 20178 yr comment_263972 In the post Bud Grant era the longest term we had was Dave Ritchie ..... nearly 5 years .... IMHO we would have done well to stick with him even longer (possibly for a rebuild) Off and on Cal Murphy got nearly 7 years of coaching in ... possibly the best we had outside of Mike Reilly Edited May 23, 20178 yr by BigBlue

May 23, 20178 yr comment_263980 MOS is almost going on 4 years, considering his record in the first 2 seasons, that's miraculous.

It was about damn time the organization try a different approach, instead of the typical give-in-to-pressure kneejerk nonsense. Stability is key to build a strong team and brand. Last season was proof of that, IMO.
May 23, 20178 yr comment_263984 ... sounds good, up until last year this was my approach as a long suffering fan of this team

This has to be a critical year for O'Shea's reign here. Yes, the team got into the playoffs last year but that has to be the absolute minimum for this one. Patience is well and good but it has to pay off.
