Posted December 4, 201311 yr comment_31587 No word on what but I'm guessing we announce our coach. EDITED to clarify it IS the HC announcement. Multiple sources citing it will be Mike O'Shea
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31588 Was the word of Cortez getting another interview not that it would be later this week? Interesting. Word will leak soon enough. If it's HC he must be in town or arriving in the morning. Anyone spot anyone around town today?

December 4, 201311 yr comment_31592 Was the word of Cortez getting another interview not that it would be later this week? Interesting. Lawless just said "this week". It could have already happened.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31594 Well, if it's our new HC at least we beat Ottawa who've had like a year to find someone...
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31600 Shawn Churchill @ShawnChurchill 20m Buckle up blue bombers fans. The new era begins today while I try to confirm new head coach I know who I hope it isn't that doesnt sound promising
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31602 I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about this. I don't think the new coach is my first choice.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31603 wow. no leaks or anything? winnipeg media surely lagging on this one.
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31604 I'm thinking it's a bit more than head coach. Maybe coach + assistant HC. The ballroom at the Fairmont is a little unusual for an announcement like this, either they're really rolling out the red carpet or it's a bigger announcement than we could normally expect.
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31605 wow. no leaks or anything? winnipeg media surely lagging on this one. Don't be surprised if Saskatchewan media leaks this. If it's Cortez or Khari, I bet they find out first.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31607 The Rash says: Arash Madani@ArashMadani2mBREAKING: Multiple #CFL sources tell me the next head coach of the Winnipeg Blue #Bombers is #Argos assistant Mike O'Shea.
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31608 Good. If for no other reason than that means Walters got his guy.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31609 I'm really pleased with this. I do hope Miller can finagle Cortez into the mix. Knowing Wade the way I do, I guarantee he has been selling Georgie very hard.... Been a solid week in Bomberland. Maybe I'll give the season ticket renewal office a call with my credit card # today?
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31610 Really impressed if it is O'Shea, with Walters sticking to his guns. Would be even more impressed today if we OC and DC as well. Get the framework all setup so we can go into the dispersal draft with most coaching positions settled.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31612 Is the consensus that we want O'Shea as HC and Cortez as OC? Does that freeze Khari out or might he come in as QBC? Any thoughts on DC? Someone with a relationship with O'Shea?
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31613 I highly, HIGHLY doubt it's Cortez as offensive coordinator. I'm thinking for O'Shea's staff, you're going to see Khari or Marcus Brady as the OC. As for DC, I have no idea.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31614 Mike do you think Cortez would consider if if they make him OC *and* associate Head Coach or something like that?
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31615 Possibly. I just don't think they can outbid Saskatchewan. Not because they're not willing to spend but because Saskatchewan will be pretty much forced to one up any offer for Cortez. He's priceless for that team.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31616 Doug Brown likes it: Doug Brown@DougBrown975mO'Shea has all the qualities you want in a head coach. Well respected, authoritative, ballsy, and a true leader. Well done Miller.
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31618 Irving and Lawless also now convinced it's O'Shea. Hope his flight isnt delayed...
December 4, 201311 yr Author comment_31620 Irving and Lawless also now convinced it's O'Shea. Hope his flight isnt delayed... He's already here
December 4, 201311 yr comment_31621 I love this. O'Shea has been my number one pick all along. Interesting side note, is there any staff more Canadian than the Bombers' now? Miller, Walters, Goveia, O'Shea... not that being Canadian means anything football-wise, I just think it's neat.
