Posted November 20, 201311 yr comment_29701 Is Bob Irving's pick for who he thinks will be the Bombers next head coach. A combo of O'Shea, Khari as OC and Burke DC would be pretty sweet.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29703 I feel better about that than Khari as HC, though Mike would have a tough job ahead of him. Mike is very smart though. Interesting.
November 20, 201311 yr Author comment_29704 Bob Irving is quite connected to inside info on the Bombers so there might be something to this. We shall see...
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29705 If we're going with a rookie head coach, I think O'Shea would be a great pick. If it helps ensure we get Zach Collaros, even better. O'Shea for head coach and Khari Jones for OC would be just fine with me.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29710 Just curious (and am being sincere...) what makes O'Shea a good candidate, other than the media saying so for every open job the last few years?
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29714 Just curious (and am being sincere...) what makes O'Shea a good candidate, other than the media saying so for every open job the last few years? For me, I just like the guy as a person and think he has always come across as a strong leader... I can't really point to anything other than that and his recent success as a special teams coordinator. I'd also be on board with Khari Jones as HC and Mike O'Shea as DC if that is what is going on here. O'Shea might have realized no one will hire him as HC with only ST coordinator experience, and Chris Jones isn't going anywhere... So he could come here to be the DC.

November 20, 201311 yr comment_29720 Maybe Bluto can provide insight on O Shea and his ability to coach
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29724 O how I love it when these tidbits of information come out and it makes some posters on here loo pretty stupid. Yeah you know who you are. O'Shea has been one of my top candidates from Day 1. Is he better than Khari? Couldn't tell you but I like his sideline presence and his take no prisoners approach. Plus he seems to get the best out of his players.

O'Shea would be one of the few "first timers" I would like to see coach our depleted team, the other was Dave Dickenson.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29729 Typo does not = stupidity, nor does it overrule BFFC's credibility which has been built up for the past 10+ years of upstanding CFL messageboard service...
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29730 I like O'Shea as HC material for many of the same reasons Atomic gave. He just seems like he'd be a good leader. If he could surround himself with quality assistants (Jones & Burke?) we might have something.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29731 Typo does not = stupidity, nor does it overrule BFFC's credibility which has been built up for the past 10+ years of upstanding CFL messageboard service... Relax, it was a joke. And it looks like yesterday's lesson on the fallaciousness of arguments based on Appeals to Authority didn't really sink in, did it? Now I know why I didn't become a teacher.

November 20, 201311 yr comment_29741 Burke did nothing but blame players and the expectation is that they want to go balls to the wall for the guy?

November 20, 201311 yr comment_29743 Yeah, Atomic can clear a room like Walby after 4 bowls of bean chili.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29744 I blame it all on this new Surface keypad and the Brits who came up with a stupid word for the shitter
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29745 I feel like O'Shea could be good but he may need to learn how to walk that line between hard ass that gets tuned out and a no nonsense leader that players bust their ass for. Just my opinion though. I think he's a good option.

Have to agree, the lesson did not sink in. Hint, the above was not a fallacious statement.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29764 The problem with O'shea is that he's such an Argo/Ti-Cat and in my bitterness I say leave all that trash in Southern Ontario.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29767 The problem with O'shea is that he's such an Argo/Ti-Cat and in my bitterness I say leave all that trash in Southern Ontario. A good friend of mine knows him and he is HEAVILY invested in the GTA, both personally and professionally. So when he gives the obligatory "this is my dream job" speech it will be, well, a lie.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_29769 The problem with O'shea is that he's such an Argo/Ti-Cat and in my bitterness I say leave all that trash in Southern Ontario. But we are willing to bring in Khari who is currently a rider man...
