December 11, 201311 yr comment_32609 Yikes......LaPo is nuts if he doesn't take an OC job. Given the recent HC hirings were does he think a HC job is going to happen? The most likely would be B.C. At best. Take the OC job there with the hope of getting promoted. i got a feeling he was approached to be an OC here... not sure. That would be interesting if Lapo came on as OC in Winnipeg. At least then he wouldn't have to move... that's what I'm thinking.... maybe Mrs. Lapolice wants to stay in Winnipeg with the young ones...
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32610 I would like to see Lapo as an OC here but I get the vibe his ego would never allow him to do that. Maybe if he was out of options. But he isn't.

At best. Take the OC job there with the hope of getting promoted. To me and based on history it makes sense that Paul Lapolice may have determined it wasn't a good fit for him in BC regardless of his TSN employment. IF Wally Buono still has direct decision-making powers over on-field gameday strategies/direction, it has the potential to lead to conflict. When Mr. Lapolice was here, he did seem to come across as someone who needed a high level of control (See OC) which ironically may not reasonate completely with Mr. Buono. For LaPo to be consistently successful as a coach at any level (he knows his x's and o's for sure), my observations tell me he needs to work on empowering people around him and relinquishing control as appropriate.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32613 I would like to see Lapo as an OC here but I get the vibe his ego would never allow him to do that. Maybe if he was out of options. But he isn't. Well, his former bosser are gone (Butchko and Mack)... and his former assistant is the GM now. Media and most of the fans believe he was a made a scapegoat by Mack...although he also failed to fix the O when he was the HC. Maybe focusing entirely on O will give him different results.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32614 Looks like BC is going after Khari: News1130 Sports@News1130Sports2h The #BCLions now looking for a "fresh, young" offensive co-ordinater. News1130 Sports@News1130Sports23m Have learned the #BCLions have asked for permission to talk with #Roughriders qb coach Khari Jones about their o-c vacancy. News1130 Sports@News1130Sports22m There's the "fresh, young" face they are looking for. This after LaPolice and Cortez no longer interested in #BCLions o-c job. News1130 Sports@News1130Sports20m The #Roughriders have given Jones permission to talk with the #BCLions. He talks with B.C today or tomorrow. My comment: Boo! Khari belongs back here.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32615 The national media are still saying that the Bombers are the worst possible team a coach could go to. I wonder what their take is going to be after this?? If you can't attract an OC with Travis Lulay, Nick Moore & Andrew Harris as the go to guys on offense then there is a real problem. Where does the national media say that the Bombers are still whe worst possible team a coach can go to?
December 11, 201311 yr Author comment_32616 Nowhere. Iso just probably read one or two articles that were not originally from Winnipeg media and has now somehow snowballed that into "the national media"
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32617 Cortez and Stubler would be an interesting tandem, loads of experience for Oshea and company ...
December 11, 201311 yr Author comment_32618 Might as well give up on the Cortez dream, he's either going Riders or (slim chance) back to the NFL.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32619 I was kind of hoping that Jason Maas ends up here as QB coach Lapo must have the inside track for Montreal...
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32620 Might as well give up on the Cortez dream, he's either going Riders or (slim chance) back to the NFL. Hey Mike, do you have any idea who else aside from Khari (and perhaps Marcel and Cortez) the Bombers talked to for the vacant OC position?
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32621 Might as well give up on the Cortez dream, he's either going Riders or (slim chance) back to the NFL. It's getting interesting for sure, a week ago I would have guaranteed that Khari would be our OC ...
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32622 Arash Madani @ArashMadani 2m #Riders QB's coach Khari Jones is interviewing for the #BCLions offensive coordinator position today, #CFL sources tell me. i got a feeling Khari will chose BC rather than Winnipeg Arash Madani @ArashMadani 1m The #Eskimos are kicking tires on Bob Wylie to coach their offensive line. He was previously an OL coach with the #Riders and #Bombers. #CFL
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32623 Maas is actually a pretty intriguing pick... probably in a better position than Khari to take the next step... I wonder what his connections with OShea are like Looking at it - between Maas, Marcel and Khari, I'd probably take Maas. Although any of them are fine.

So you don't mean the national media, you mean the Calgary media.

Iso just probably read one or two articles that were not originally from Winnipeg media and has now somehow snowballed that into "the national media" Mike, you live in Winnipeg. I don't. I live in Calgary. You have no clue. Why are some of you taking this so personally as you shouldn't be surprised? You think a new head coach & GM is going to turn the skeptics around??? The Bombers are still considered a joke outside Winnipeg. In Calgary, the media here calls the Bombers dysfunctional. They are described as having no credibility. Whenever the discussion gets to the Bombers with the Calgary media & media from other CFL cities it's a real yuk yuk fest when they talk about the Bombers. I've heard interviews with the media here talking to commentators from Montreal all across to BC over the past couple of years slagging Winnipeg. I hate listening to that **** but that's the reality Mike, whether you insult me or not.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32632 Super jealous if the Esks get Wylie Are you secretly Aardvark? Hell no

Even the national ones.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32634 I am not sure how you can read papers from outside the city you live in but I can only hope you use your secret powers for good instead of evil.
