Posted November 17, 201311 yr comment_29318 Look what happened today in Toronto. An experienced HC in Austin who knows what it takes to win & the same with an experienced qb in Burris. That's what it takes to win. Did you clue in, Wade?

November 17, 201311 yr comment_29322 Hamilton lucked out that the game was indoors. I fully expect Bad Hank to stink it up next week in the Arctic cold of Regina.
November 17, 201311 yr Author comment_29323 Hank is on a roll. I saw that in 2008. He could be really tough in the Grey Cup. Austin is an outstanding coach. A winner as a player & a coach, KBF. He knows the CFL backwards, forwards, sideways & upside down. Gotta say I enjoyed seeing seeing the two coaches in Toronto (Millanovich & Jones) lose today. That was funny.
November 17, 201311 yr comment_29324 Kind of a dumb thread... Toronto has experienced coaches and an experienced qb with a fantastic track record and they lost today, hell if anything it makes your point look silly since Milanovich was a rookie coach last season and he won the grey cup. I don't see the point at all. Austin isn't an outstanding coach IMO , he was lucky to win last week and called a horrible game. They have a qb who is extremely streaky and today he was on. All I know is that Calgary/Saskatchewan will be very happy to face H amilton rather then Toronto for the cup.
November 17, 201311 yr Author comment_29325 Not a dumb thread How many rookie coaches have we had that didn't work out? I think experience counts for a lot...
November 17, 201311 yr comment_29326 Not a dumb thread How many rookie coaches have we had that didn't work out? I think experience counts for a lot... But both Kent Austin and Scott Milanovich BOTH won the grey cup in their rookie year as a HC!!!

November 17, 201311 yr comment_29330 Meh...It's not like Austin has a 10 year coaching resume. He doesn't really have much more coaching experience than Milanovich has. Also, didn't know Ricky Ray was a rookie :wacko:

I think experience counts for a lot...But both Kent Austin and Scott Milanovich BOTH won the grey cup in their rookie year as a HC!!! At TEP, fansince79 posted a listed of 22 coaches who won the GC in their rookie year as HC over the past 40 years. No list of coaches who lost in the GC their rookie year as HC (ie Trestman) so can't say how many rookie HCs have gone to the GC overall.

It's such a winning formula.

It's such a winning formula. You are missing the point. Rookie or veteran doesn't matter, it's whether they're a good coach or not that matters.
November 18, 201311 yr comment_29342 They have been very successful at hiring bad coaches so all they have to do is the opposite of what they have been doing. Its an on brainer.
November 18, 201311 yr comment_29343 I think what is more important is if the coach or gm has cfl experience as a player or in any other role. We kept bringing in randoms from the states instead of going for a guy with cfl experience who knows the cfl game.

November 19, 201311 yr comment_29593 Not a dumb thread How many rookie coaches have we had that didn't work out? I think experience counts for a lot... Hufnagel, Austin, Trestman were all rookie coaches when they had an immidiate impact, so your point is kind of silly.
November 19, 201311 yr comment_29604 Austin isn't an outstanding coach IMO , he was lucky to win last week and called a horrible game. Really? What would you have changed about how Austin called the game? Would they have won by more than 12 points if you had been in charge?

Hufnagel, Austin, Trestman were all rookie coaches when they had an immidiate impact, so your point is kind of silly. Sure but we always sign the raw rookies & never the coach with a track record. That would be nice for a change.
November 19, 201311 yr comment_29619 Doug Berry and Dave Ritchie were both successful here. Mike Kelly...well what can you say. He likely had a lot more success in him than his ego allowed him to show. Paul lapolice has some success. Rookie or veteran doesn't matter to me. Good coach is good coach.
November 19, 201311 yr Author comment_29633 God, how I miss Dave Ritchie. Always liked Dave. But Bauer ran him out of town.
November 19, 201311 yr comment_29638 Bauer ran him out of town? Ritchie declined a contract extension at the start of his last season and then developed some significant health issue. So I guess he got ran out of town.
November 19, 201311 yr comment_29640 I wish there was a way we could bring DR back for one more kick at the can.
November 19, 201311 yr Author comment_29651 Bauer ran him out of town? Ritchie declined a contract extension at the start of his last season and then developed some significant health issue. So I guess he got ran out of town. He never was a Lyle Bauer guy. Pretty common knowledge. I don't recall Ritchie wanting to leave.
