January 13, 201510 yr comment_103106 I neither love nor hate Hall ... he has a track record such as it is What's the downside on Hall? Did the Riders fire him for no good reason? Are the Riders stupid? Or was it just time for a change, sorta like time to change your underwear? So many good things to say about Hall, he is a first class man. He is very experienced and draws up good game plans each week. Strictly IMO where he fails is adjustments during the game. It appeared that we rarely made any halftime adjustments under Hall, he simply seemed happy to stay the course even at the expense of losing the game. My other beef with Hall is in the last few minutes of the game when we were trying to hang on for a close win, he just wouldn't turn up the heat and end it. His defensive philosophy is such that allows other teams to hang around late into games. He is waiting for opponents to make a mistake more so than trying to force a mistake. Letting him go could very well turn out to be a mistake, time will tell. I believe Hall is a great hire for the bombers, he is strict with discipline and runs a tight ship. His schemes are solid. Adding Hall probably brings 2-3 more wins for you guys based on some of the ones you lost last year. For any of you that get to meet him he is generous with his time and friendly. Always has a minute or two to take pictures with the kids or whatever. my 2 cents
January 13, 201510 yr comment_103107 Listening to 1290 yesterday afternoon, I thought I would come home and read about the hiring announcement on morningbigblue. As far as they're (Lawless, I think) concerned, it's done. They sure had kind words for Hall, in every way. Bad move by Sask if they are right. From the sounds of things, he will really fit in well here with the team, and the fans. I know nothing, but I will post this which I have heard now and again about half time adjustments: oregon ducks head coach: "“To a certain degree, the scheme and maneuvering go into it, but the ‘x-factor’ is guys being ready to play, guys being confident, all those kind of things that go into prep that are infinitely important right now Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in terms of how we prepare for a game week.” “Then, during the game, there are certainly adjustments, but I think that’s one of the most overrated things in the world, is these drastic adjustments that these guys say they make…that just doesn’t happen. You don’t change your offense at halftime. That just doesn’t happen.”

Yes all-the-time adjustments are required ... that's what press boxes are for
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103161 Could see something like Newman/Sherman-Taylor reed-Sears/unamba If I'm Walters, I'll make a run for McDougall. We don't know how good Keenan McDougall can be as he has spent most of his time on the IR in Calgary. He doesn't have a lot of playing experience. I don't think he's ever started at safety for the Stampeders. Just been a depth player.
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103195 This is getting old already. Is today finally the day the Bombers announce the Richie Hall signing?
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103197 This is getting old already. Is today finally the day the Bombers announce the Richie Hall signing? What does it even matter when they bother to announce it?
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103199 This is getting old already. Is today finally the day the Bombers announce the Richie Hall signing? What does it even matter when they bother to announce it? Because the more it delays the more it looks that it's not a done deal. It's not a Jets gameday today, so what's the excuse now?
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103201 Off season and people are on holidays? Often, for things like this they want all the players (GM, head coach, maybe Miller, etc) in town to do the press conference, and it sometimes takes time to coordinate those schedules.

Because the more it delays the more it looks that it's not a done deal. It's not a Jets gameday today, so what's the excuse now? It's not even 9:30 am and you think they should have had a press conference already. This isn't the type of announcement they just send out a press release to announce.

Maybe the media is busy covering the Jets from last night still, given that it was kind of a historic evening with Perreault and Maurice. Maybe Kyle Walters is busy on the phone with Johnny Sears or Ian Wild. Maybe Richie Hall has the runs. Maybe something else. Again, it doesn't really matter. They'll announce it at a time that works for everyone.

January 14, 201510 yr comment_103214 Actually the longer we wait the less it feels its a done deal, the less likely that coordinator is making decisions on his defensive staff. The sooner we have someone in that position the sooner they can be in watching films and determining what players they need to keep; what changes they want to make and start getting work going for next season. I felt that part of the failure with Gary was we didn't have him hired until late so he didn't get the full time to work on getting his schemes and such ready.

I felt that part of the failure with Gary was we didn't have him hired until late so he didn't get the full time to work on getting his schemes and such ready. Just out of curiosity ... why would an announcement affect any of that? He's allowed to start working before they make his hiring public.
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103217 They should just announce it already. We deserve better!!! I pay my taxes every year!

In reality, it's stupid to think that Miller, Walters and O'Shea will spend time reading thru all of the post in this board. It's even more stupid to think that they will give a heck who are the posters in here. Don't you think they should be spending their time improving this football club?

I think they should be reading this forum in order to fix the club! We're smarter than all of them!!!!
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103222 Does it matter when it's announced? Some people here will want him fired in August.
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103223 I'm trying.... Nope, can't think of a single thing to say that doesn't turn into high levels of sarcasm. Let's see what's happening in other threads.
January 14, 201510 yr comment_103232 Unless The delay is Hall is still being paid by Sask until the end of Jan. Here's hoping that is the hold up.
