January 20, 201510 yr comment_104000 Yay finally they announced it; I see what took so long they had to get someone to design that ugly looking poster lol
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104001 Hall interview notes -- expects in your face, get after the QB, get after the ball carrier exciting to watch defense -- not going to overcomplicate things -- needs to finalize staff -- needs to familiarize himself with how he can use current roster personnel, best put them in the position to succeed with what he implements
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104005 Yay finally they announced it; I see what took so long they had to get someone to design that ugly looking poster lol No it took so long because the photographer had a problem getting the proper expression on Hall's face while he posed with his new Bomber clothes. Hall didn't realize how much better he would look wearing blue and gold - had a hard time getting a big grin off his face.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104006 FINALLY...had me worried there for awhile. It's all good now...welcome to the Peg Mr. Hall.

Former Stamps safety and Laurier grad is fast riser Anybody knows about this guy? Yeah. He is the DC at McMaster and was a Laurier grad who played safety for the Calgary Stampeders
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104012 I'd be surprised if Knox joined a staff that requires this much commitment but those who have their ears to the ground with respect to the CIS would obviously know if he's expressed an interest in taking on coaching full time. He was a "part-time" defensive coordinator with McMaster for six or seven years until 2013, when he went to the University of Toronto to be their full-time coordinator. He went back to McMaster after one busted season in Toronto and took over from Kevin Eiben in a full-time role that I wouldn't really call full time. No slight on Knox's abilities because I'm not really in a position to judge and while his resume is strong, his actual level of commitment to a long-term full-time position is something that there has to be doubts about. Just as a note to add - I'd rather hire Kevin Eiben than Greg Knox. He was incredibly mistreated by McMaster in my opinion and I'd take him on as a defensive assistant or positional coach in a minute. He did great work for McMaster in his year there. Familiarity with O'Shea and the Canadian game. Young and eager to learn.

Former Stamps safety and Laurier grad is fast riser Anybody knows about this guy? Hope this is true. I would be more excited for Greg Knox to join the staff then Hall. He was amazing at Mac with his blitz schemes, a lot of stuff I had never seen before. There D at mac was outstanding all year

January 20, 201510 yr comment_104025 "The new Blue Bombers defensive coordinator Richie Hall spoke with Kim Babij-Gesell via Skype." http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/108117 It's nice to hear the Bombers took time off from their busy schedule, and put into works something that could accommodate everybody involved. Last year, even though they had hired their DC in Jan., they didn't announce it until Feb 20th. This year, I can only imagine the conversation to get this information out there, with all the parties involved scattered across the continent. Good job Big Blue…and thanks Kim.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104027 Weird to see him in a colour other than green but Blue and Gold looks good on him.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104030 Weird to see him in a colour other than green but Blue and Gold looks good on him. Agreed. He is a very attractive man
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104034 Good job Bombers. Finally, it's nice to see us get the best man available for once!
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104036 Aaaand we can all exhale... Meh, it's kind of like opening a present that I bought and wrapped for myself. I am of course pleased with it, but since I had no doubt what was coming it's hard to get really wound up about it. But still, a very nice present, and thank you.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104069 So long as Eiben gets pointed in the direction of opposing QB's, bring him aboard.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104103 Is there some reason the WBB felt they had to rush this announcment?
