Posted December 17, 201410 yr comment_100115 The Blue Bombers have commissioned an official poll on this website to determine who the next DC will be. Make sure you vote. Discussion below.
December 17, 201410 yr Author comment_100117 My vote goes to Mike Benevides because he is experienced running a CFL defence and also has head coaching experience, and has worked extensively with Wally Buono.
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100123 I voted for Benevides too. Lots of great experience and BC's defenses have been way above average in the last few years.
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100125 Benevides would make it easier to fire O'Shea should the scenario ever arise. I wonder if O'Shea could see him as a potential threat, or if he only cares about winning. If it's only about winning, I think Benevides is the obvious choice.
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100128 Mike Benevides is it! For the only reason, I like both coordinator (OC/DC) to have the same initials. LOL!
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100129 Cool! Looks like it's a consensus. So when is the presser to announce Benevides as DC???
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100149 Does anyone know if Bene. was in town for a meeting? I know Claybrooks was.
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100176 I'd be happy with Benevides, Claybrooks or Hall myself, and even Kavis Reed would be an improvement over Etch.
December 17, 201410 yr comment_100183 I hate Benevides, but attempting to separate that I think he's overrated a bit. With Wally as HC and Benevides as DC he was in a great situation and worked with a strong group of defensive players often. I like Hall and could see Osh liking his supposedly quiet style. Claybrooks intrigues me but I'm a fan of Barron Miles too. I'd be happy with any of the three but I would go Hall-Claybrooks-Miles.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100224 Benny has two years left on his contract. Why wouldn't he just sit back & relax for this season?
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100225 Benny has two years left on his contract. Why wouldn't he just sit back & relax for this season? Because he doesn't. Wally had an out clause in the contract where if Bene was fired by Dec 15 the remaining 2 years are void.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100227 Benevides got a severance package for 6 months according to Ed Tait, but extension didn't kick in until December 15 as gbill stated.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100228 Benevides got a severance package for 6 months according to Ed Tait, but extension didn't kick in until December 15 as gbill stated. Well, Wally sure covered his bases. This is so Wally.

December 18, 201410 yr comment_100238 The Blue Bombers have commissioned an official poll on this website to determine who the next DC will be. It's a joke.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100244 The Blue Bombers have commissioned an official poll on this website to determine who the next DC will be. It's a joke. Thanks for that. I must have sat down too soon.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100245 The Blue Bombers have commissioned an official poll on this website to determine who the next DC will be. My thoughts exactly.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100268 I chose Hall, but I'd take Benevides too. The difference in my preference between the two is very minimal. Claybrooks is a rookie, so on one hand you're taking a chance, on the other he's had a lot of time getting to know how Stubler runs his D.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100270 Benevedes, Claybrooks, Hall Claybrooks was in line to be Calgary's DC last season until Stubler became available and he's the heir apparent when he retires. I like anybody that Huff likes.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100271 What... nobody voted for Greg Marshall??? My vote is Benevides... simply cuz BC has had a very good D for a long time... I also like Richie Hall
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100281 I would be very static if the Bombers land both Benevides and Hall Benevides as DC and Hall as (Asst) ST Coordinator and DBs Not gonna happen though.
