December 5, 201410 yr comment_98350 Where is Walters? Why no announcement on the coaching staff? He must know everyone is waiting. Seems to me Kyle is getting a little too comfortable in the big chair. He showed a hell of a lot more hustle last year around this time, I hope he's not getting complacent. The fans deserve to know. Other teams are already hiring new staffs and Bomber fans are totally left in the dark. Not liking this. It's Mike's job to decide on his staff...
December 5, 201410 yr comment_98351 Atomic's post is what a lot of fans are thinking right now. I don't think it's sarcastic at all. Question ... how come you're not all over Brendan Taman for waiting almost a week to address reports of Cortez being let go? That's not exactly a quick resolution either. Maybe because he doesn't care about the riders? Just a guess He doesn't care about other teams but he has no problem using them as an example whenever he feels it's beneficial to his argument. Just playing the other side.

When did our season end Mike?? How many days?
December 6, 201410 yr comment_98613 Can someone please explain to me why it matters how or when or where Walters discusses the plan for O'Shea's assistants? What is so difficult to comprehend that two raw rookies want to check all the angles before making a move? Why is patience such a lacking concept around here?

I don't know but I want someone to find out the reason and explain it to us NOW.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_98778 I think Duressler has left... Nope, still here. And I will agree that the two teams' situations are a bit different, seeing as one team made the playoffs, although really, we all knew that the Rider's season was going down the deep-end for quite some time, so Taman should have thought this through earlier and be ready to announce it [The Cortez firing] when they were out. And even still, no one's really sure about what's happening with Ritchie Hall after all this time. Many people think he's on his way out, but there hasn't been much indication. As for the Bombers, I'm not sure what they're waiting for. There's many options to choose from since Cortez and Benevedes were fired, so you'd think they'd take action before the other teams take them first. If they're even firing the coordinators. Don't even know that yet.

Don't even know that yet. My suspicion is that they want to bring Mark Washington here, but the complete fallout from BC might not happen until they hire a new head coach. They're being smart and hanging on to the guys they have now until the new coach officially says he doesn't want them.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_98790 My guess is that both O'Shea and Walters are being very careful. Walters probably has one more re-organization of the coaching staff left if O'Shea does not work out but O'Shea has had a very up-and-down season and will be expected to show a much better and much more consistent season this year- or else.
December 8, 201410 yr Author comment_98904 When was the last time a "virgin" American came in as a coordinator and done a good job? (By virgin I mean not coached recently in the CFL)

They're being smart and hanging on to the guys they have now until the new coach officially says he doesn't want them. They definitely wanted Washington at some point. I tend to think their preference is Washington, Benevides, (maybe somebody else), Etcheverry in that order. They won't pursue Benevides strongly until Washington's future is decided. (just my opinion)
December 9, 201410 yr comment_98975 It's an opinion that seems realistic and reasonable to me. I'm curious as to which other 2 teams reached out to Benevides already. Almost certainly the Riders are one of them. Who's the other? Toronto? By process of elimination, them and Ottawa are the only options left that make sense.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_98977 Why Ottawa? Nelson did a pretty good job with the defense all things considered - it was the offense that was the problem.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_98983 Why Ottawa? Nelson did a pretty good job with the defense all things considered - it was the offense that was the problem. I agree. My first instinct was to not include them. Then I remembered, Marcel Desjardins is terrible at his job, and possibly insane.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_98987 If washington falls thru the cracks, i think that would be stupendous if we landed him.. IF we can add the meat to the LB core.. Our d line and secondary seems like it could run a washington defense imo..
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99013 @CFL_News: Richie Hall will not be back as #Riders defensive co-ordinator but will be offered a role. #CFL #Riders via @HomeOfTheFans
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99026 Another better than Etch candidate. What a bunch of incompetent boobs in Regina. How can they fire a guy without having his replacement hired?
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99032 Another better than Etch candidate. What a bunch of incompetent boobs in Regina. How can they fire a guy without having his replacement hired? I sense the sarcasm... What I don't get is why offer him a different position? And if he does take a lesser role, what DC would go there knowing the prior DC is just sitting there waiting for you to fail?
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99034 I think they're just waiting for Etch to become available. (staying in theme)
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99041 I think they're just waiting for Etch to become available. (staying in theme) A Herculean effort to stay in theme, but well worth it.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99054 Another better than Etch candidate. What a bunch of incompetent boobs in Regina. How can they fire a guy without having his replacement hired? How do you know they don't already have arrangements in place with someone? And the notion that Ritchie Hall is a highly desirable candidate for DC? Check the battery on your watch, it might have stopped in 2006.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_99059 For those wanting Hall... is he better than Etch? Maybe but when they got rid of him for this reason: CFL News @CFL_News Chamblin wants to go onward with a more aggressive defence instead of "confusing philosophies." #CFL #Riders via @sskroughriders I have to wonder why you would want to exchange one coach who likes confusing philosophies for another? I prefer Chamblins thinking myself.

Check the battery on your watch, it might have stopped in 2006. I didn't say highly desirable. I said better than Etch. Two totally different things.
