December 18, 201410 yr Author comment_100407 Hall was the defensive coordinator in sask last year, sask like us were ranked in the bottom 3 in points given up. Not sure i like Hall, Benevides? Separating players from scheme makes it hard to draw conclusions. The Riders were pretty bad defending the pass but pretty good against the run. We have the makings of a very good secondary. So hypothetically does Hall benefit from our good secondary or ruin our secondary with bad schemes? Right now that's unknowable. The Riders have some pretty good talent in the secondary. Rod Williams had an NFL shot before joining the Riders, we all know how good Brackenridge is, and Macho Harris and Terrell Maze are no slouches either. In fact, Hall was working with an all-American secondary and still had a tough time against the pass. Just something to think about.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100409 I really think Hall would be a good fit. Could see him having a few good years with us. Certainly wouldn't complain if it was Bene either. Just no Fat Greg Marshall, Anus Reed, or James T Daley.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100414 Claybrooks biggest asset might be that he could make toe jam out of anyone who ticks him off.
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100415 Claybrooks, beneviedes or hall.. Any of the above I believe will be an upgrade over last season.. Period. I put beneviedes at the front of the list tho personally..
December 18, 201410 yr comment_100419 Who voted other, and who would that be. Unless I missed their post.
December 18, 201410 yr Author comment_100421 Claybrooks, beneviedes or hall.. Any of the above I believe will be an upgrade over last year. Honestly I tend to agree with this. I would be happy with any of the 3. There are some real good options out there, it's not a bad time to be looking for a defensive coordinator.

December 19, 201410 yr comment_100444 Benevides would make it easier to fire O'Shea should the scenario ever arise. Might be the only one (haven't read through the whole thread yet) but this is the reason I don't want Bene here. Be too easy for the Bombers to make him HC and he sucked as a HC.

In what way did he suck? Not that I want him as head coach, but he did pretty good win/loss wise.

December 19, 201410 yr Author comment_100541 Speaking of Fat Greg Marshall, whatever happened to The Other Greg Marshall? Canadian Greg? He has been the head coach at Western since 2007.

He let their Canadian talent languish to the point that they are near the bottom of the league in that regard, particularly on the offensive line. He also clung to old Americans for a little too long... basically telling Benevides that if those guys were good enough to win a Grey Cup in 2011, then they should be good enough for Benevides for the next 3 years. Very inactive in terms of roster management. I'm not trying to make excuses for Benevides because he bears part of the responsibility as well. But Wally shouldn't get a free pass just because he is Wally Buono.
December 20, 201410 yr comment_100572 Benevides was a crappy head coach, but Wally was the one calling the shots in BC and definitely has to take some of the blame for the regression there.

December 20, 201410 yr comment_100583 In regards to the Lions record over the last two seasons - Lulay getting hurt and KG being KG aren't exactly things you can hang on Benevides either...

December 20, 201410 yr Author comment_100632 When's the last time wally won consistently. I guess that depends what you mean by winning consistently. He won the Grey Cup in 2011 and the Lions are 33-21 since then. Regardless of Benevides being fired I'd still say that is winning pretty consistently.
December 21, 201410 yr comment_100684 Cool! Looks like it's a consensus. So when is the presser to announce Benevides as DC??? LOL! Do we have THAT MUCH pull? Obviously the Bombers read this site as witnessed Kim Babij-Gesel posting here but somehow I don't think Walters or MOS will take our advice.

She's got a lot more pull in the Bombers organization than you realize...
