Posted December 31, 201410 yr comment_101524 gary lawless @garylawless 6m6 minutes ago Can report #bombers are closing in on deal with Richie Hall to become DC. Mike Benevides still in picture but if Hall wants job, likely his gary lawless @garylawless 5m5 minutes ago Contract talks between #bombers and Richie Hall continue. Mike Benevides still talking with Mike O'Shea but Hall is leading candidate
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101529 I'd prefer Benevides, but I can't complain too much about Hall Exactly how I feel.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101532 Everyone seems to really like DeVonne Claybrooks as a DC but he's less than 3 seasons away from being a player. I think he needs to coach DL under Rich Stubler for another few years before he will be ready to be a coordinator. As much as he's an up & comer, I'd be uncomfortable giving a rookie DC a chance. I like Mark Washington in BC. It'll be interesting to see if Jeff Tedford brings him back.

December 31, 201410 yr comment_101534 Although Hall is third on my list of wanted DCs, I'm happy with any of Claybrooks, Benevedes, or Hall being hired.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101535 Just reading up on Hall's accomplishments. Very impressive. We'll be in good hands if he is in fact named DC.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101537 Benevides or Hall. That's all I care. Claybrooks and Washington are not going anywhere.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101539 I assume Pat Tracy is back next season? Haven't heard anything to the contrary. Our genius media members didn't find it to be a worthy question to ask O'Shea at the last press conference.

Our genius media members didn't find it to be a worthy question to ask O'Shea at the last press conference. Exactly what I was thinking. Pretty sure half ghe media who follow the Bombers don't even know who Pat Tracy is.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101544 I assume Pat Tracy is back next season? He's the first guy and one of the only three guys (Etch and Wylie are the other two) that O'Shea brought in. I strongly believe he's not going anywhere.

Dan has been with Wally for 15 years. As was Chapdelaine & Benevides going back to their days in Calgary. Pretty clear that Tedford is hiring the staff he wants.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101546 Happy that it appears we will have an experienced DC who runs a more conventional defense.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101549 As I sit here drinking my blue juice, with dew diligence, I find I'll have to digest this latest piece of information. I should have a response in about 6 1/2 weeks.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101550 I'm happy with Hall, although I'd prefer Washington or Benevides. All are upgrades over Etch.
December 31, 201410 yr comment_101552 As I sit here drinking my blue juice, with dew Drew diligence Wasn't Hall's defence in Edmonton really good? Seem to remember that.

December 31, 201410 yr comment_101554 IF it's Hall, I'm a happy camper. His defences have been solid both in Sask and Edm.. Thought to be a little too conservative sometimes but you can't deny he has the credentials. He'll have our D playing to it's potential and stay away from the Etch-a-sketch shenanigans of the last year. Looking forward to see another well seasoned CFL coach come on board.
