March 17, 201411 yr comment_44468 I gave up on acquiring Wylie long ago. What leads you to believe he has any interest in coming to Wpg. at this point? I am on the same boat also. From the last time I heard, the Bombers are still waiting for him. Until when though?
March 17, 201411 yr comment_44470 He taught me the value of studying absolutely everything about the other team, and I mean everything. He never had to wait and react because he already knew everything that was going to happen. I stole the concept of being turned away from my own huddle from Bryan. While our play was being called, I’d always be turned looking at the defence, looking for all the clues Bryan showed me to look for. That gave me a chance. Oh, so that's why the Bomber OL faced the line of scrimmage during the play call.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_44471 You could be right, SPuDs... I just think it's circumstances & the way things are working out. O'Shea thinks that the coaches he hired are more than qualified to be Bomber coaches & I'm okay with that. I wanted to see more CFL experience. Having Stubler sign with Calgary still stings but gotta move on.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_44473 There is only one member of the staff that does not have some CFL experience.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_44474 We're waiting on Bob Wylie's availability. Another interesting name became available this past week...Bryan Chiu, a former CFL OL with the Als who also has OL coaching experience at the CIS level. That is an interesting name. He's the sort of guy who sounded like a coach when you heard him talk. Well spoken, knows the CFL game, has some coaching experience. May be worth taking a look at.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_44477 somebody said... there (might be) some level of interest from the Bombers re Brian Chui.... but they are still waiting and hoping for Bob Wylie... no time table on that one.
March 18, 201411 yr comment_44516 I was just thinking it's getting a little late to have not named an Oline coach yet.... Not terribly optimistic that we'll get Wylie but I'll hold out hope until it's in stone... Chiu was a centre, correct? That might be helpful for developing a young centre

That might be helpful for developing a young centre Our coaching staff would resemble a group of glorified backups in case the young ones don't pan out.
March 19, 201411 yr comment_44571 If chiu does land here, we really could have something very cool.and groundbreaking in the mix here with all these "natural" cfl groomed coaches.. If it turns out we are successful it would really show that canadian trained and raised products are just as important to out league.. And then what will happen? We'll start making CIS QBs our starting QBs and we'll start winning GCs. It will be one big mess. Canadian QBs as starters? Winning GCs. We'll ruin the CFL.

Good suggestions guys. The Real Canadian SuperStar League would make sense. Now, if we can only think of a viable League sponsor….

March 19, 201411 yr comment_44610 Bob Wylie arrived in Winnipeg this afternoon on a flight from Minneapolis, let's hope he is here to sign a contract. I heard the same thing from a couple people. I mentioned it on our twitter account, hope you don't mind. I credited what I think is your twitter account.
March 19, 201411 yr comment_44611 This would be fabulous news. Can't see any other reason for him to be in Winnipeg. Wylie would be the best signing of the offseason.

March 20, 201411 yr comment_44643 Good thing we didn't hire Kris Sweet: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sport...157/story.html The Montreal Gazette’s Herb Zurkowsky wrote on March 3 that the Eskimos O-linemen didn’t respond to former coach Kris Sweet’s full-blast methods. “There was an open revolt against Sweet by Edmonton’s offensive linemen,” Zurkowsky wrote. “At one point, they went to former head coach Kavis Reed, en masse, threatening not to practice unless Sweet altered his methods. In no uncertain terms, Sweet was hated by the players whom he coached, according to several sources.” The 2013 season was the only one that Sweet spent with the Eskimos. He was hired by Tom Higgins and the Montreal Alouettes on March 6. Outwardly, Sweet appeared to be a difficult coach to play for. He was a powder keg of emotion while he ran his players through drills, trying to extract results from them with the volume maxed out, his profanities raining down on them. Coaches at the pro level have no room for error; they have to get results out of their players. But if the linemen were in fact this unhappy under Sweet, change will be necessary to reach them. I am not sure what Sweet could have done to alienate his lineman but this can explain why they were so bad last season.

I thought Sweet would be a good fit for the bombers after his SK tenure... definitely not now - Wonder if he'll yell at Bourke, Perrett et al... Should have just upped Flory to OL Coach
