Bombers may not be able to match. Guess we'll see what happens next week. Yes the coach SMS makes it even more unlikely that Toronto could outbid us. Trestman and Popp are still on the books for next year and Chamblin would be 2 more years. Unless you think that the Argos could pay 3 HCs less than we could pay one.

Who knows, maybe Hall leaves as well and we extend O’Shea as a HC and slap the DC role on him too? As for Toronto, they still haven’t fired Chamblin. They are still paying Jim Popp also. Don’t know how much room they have to spend, but I’m confident we could match it and probably beat it. Money wouldn’t be the issue. It’s if O’Shea’s desire to go home is greater than his desire to turn his Bombers into a dynasty.

And that goes against cap..Oshea ain't going nowhere

I think it'd be a risky move to leave the Bombers for that mess in Toronto.
November 22, 20195 yr comment_447361 He knows he has a good thing here. Bordering on great..if not great on leaving a real legacy and have his finger prints all over the Franchise's revival..and possibilty of going down as a legendary coach in our history with more successive years here..that's something I see that would drive him and keep him around until he gets forced out
November 22, 20195 yr comment_447362 Another thing I hope Osh takes into consideration. He’s already 3rd all-time in wins for the Bombers (56). Behind Cal Murphy (86) and Bud Grant (102) Win the cup on Sunday and a few more winning seasons and who knows? The guy could one day be cast in bronze outside IGF—its not that far-fetched.

Toronto, should actually have less available bucks because they will have to pay out their current HC. If we lose MOS, it won't be because we couldn't match the Argos offer.

On the surface, it seems to be such a natural fit for the struggling Argos, that I am wondering if they could get some sort of papal dispensation from the CFL head office.
November 22, 20195 yr comment_447472 I'm sure MOS would love to stay but he is also no dummy so he will get as much money as he can.

I think gifting them with QB trades and a Cup every five years or so should be enough help.

November 22, 20195 yr comment_447498 Remind me again. Does OC stand for Offensive Coordinator, or Occasional Coach? Sometimes I just can’t tell...
November 22, 20195 yr comment_447507 I really don't think it comes down to money, it comes down to what MOS wants. If he really wants to move back to southern Ontario and the GTA, he will and no amount of money we offer will change that.

I am sure they use their one exemption for him but that leaves them no exemption left for Chamblin and Popp's salary. That's a ton of SMS used up. They aren't getting into a bidding war with anyone.

Choosing the highest offer with no consideration of the situation and the odds of achieving success in a results driven business like football is the very definition of being a dummy.

The majority of the league is on one year contracts. You don't think that every decent player that Toronto has isn't looking to jump ship after the season they just had? Also, Toronto is a crap show for facilities for the players. Tons of complaints this year that the players didn't even know where they would be practicing from week to week because they rent their practice facilities from wherever there is some available. BMO is a 3rd rate stadium and the soccer team gets first dibs on time use there. I think that MOS leaving has to be considered a longshot. Edited November 22, 20195 yr by gcn11
