January 9, 201510 yr comment_102647 Hate to rain on people's parades but it is possible we get neither. Benevides may take the DC job in Saskatchewan & Hall could also return to the Riders in another capacity. Until the actual announcement is made I won't count on anything. #weweresupposedtogetstublerbutgotetchinsteadremember? What.. No other parade to rain on today? My word. Oh go stuff it, really. Can't post anything here without someone twisting what I said around & making it into something it isn't. All I meant was that until it's official nothing is sure & anything can happen. That's it. Nothing else. And in reality, it's true. After Rich Stubler strung us along for over a month & then went to Calgary at the last minute last off season I'm being cautious as I thought his coming here was a done deal.

Be he speaks the truth broseph Uh.. No.. Not really.. When the media prints a quote like "expect a decision on the DC being hall or benevides in 48 hrs.." Leads me to believe that both are interested... Both want the job and both are waiting to see who get it. Not, both are balking, neither are gonna be bombers and the sky is falling yet again, oh noes! All I said was that until it's official I won't be jumping to conclusions because of what happened with our DC last off season. Stubler coming here was supposedly a done deal as well. Then he showed up in Calgary & Huff was grinning like a Cheshire Cat as he knew he stole him away from the Bombers. If you think that's being negative well then so be it. I was just being realistic. I swear, this place gets more like Riderfans everyday. Probably one will sign here but I'm just saying things can change, that's all. I can't believe I have to explain to justify what I said.

You wanna dispute what he said? Go ahead, I didn't agree with it either. But keep your BS about it affecting the credibility of the website to yourself. You think this place is so bad, nobody is forcing you to be here.

You think this place is so bad, nobody is forcing you to be here. So Mike, do you actually somehow believe that I don't want Benevides or Hall here? That saying that until an official announcement comes down means I want them to go to the Riders??? If that's the case then what a bunch of malarkey as that's not true. So then, just what exactly is your beef with me about now? You've always have a beef with me about something going back to Our Bombers so I just try to ignore you. Today you're pissed because I said this place is becoming more like Riderfans. Tomorrow it'll be something else you won't like. The day after that something else, etc. Notice I don't engage in many discussions with you. Why would I? It's not worth it to me as I have no desire to ever talk to you about anything. I don't think you want to talk to me either so the feeling's mutual. Maybe we should just keep it that way.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102666 Isn't there a good chance Benevides does nothing and sits at home collecting pay from BC? Just like Berry, Lapo, Marshall, Cortez, Dan Hawkins, Mike Kelly, etc. Benevides is probably considering all options, or is negotiating a one time payout from the Lions to cover his salary differential, before accepting any new position.

Wally included an out clause in the contract that rendered it void if Benevides was fired in 2014.

Actually you have no idea if Stubler strung us along for over a month, and that's because you weren't privy to any negotiations or lack of negotiations, or whether or not Stubler even wanted to come here...so you're being cautious is all about nothing.

January 9, 201510 yr comment_102672 The choice between Hall and Benevides is one of those decisions that is kind of a no lose proposition. Both are excellent football minds. I will be happy with either result. My preference is for Hall, but is based more in my own football philosophy than in merit between the two coaches.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102673 Hmmmmm...if Benevides really wanted to go to Regina but got bad vibes or such, but Hall wanted to come here all along, I would rather have Hall. Don't like the idea of a coach whose first choice would have been elsewhere. Yes, but how about a DC with a chip on his shoulder... especially with the added motivation to beat the Riders and Lions...
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102675 We are please to announce that...... buck pierce is the new DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR! ..... lol
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102685 Isn't there a good chance Benevides does nothing and sits at home collecting pay from BC?.No because his contract ended and was canned before his new one took effect. Wally's a smart ol sumbitch...
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102716 I was reading that Benevides is taking his time to decide on the Riders offer due to "personal family considerations". Apparently he has a child with special needs, and Winnipeg's Children's Hospital is attractive to him. Regina doesn't have a Children's Hospital.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102717 According to Farhan Lalji, Benevides has turned down both the Bombers and Riders DC offers. Will focus on family this year.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102727 Hall must feel great about being everyone's second choice... Tonnes of coaches are 2nd or 3rd choices...
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102729 Hall must feel great about being everyone's second choice... Who says he was second choice. According to reports he was being considered as an equal talent for the position. Hall will do a heckava good job here.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102732 Now that Benevides step out, I'm hoping the Bombers will sign Hall asap.
January 9, 201510 yr comment_102735 If it's Hall, I wonder who will be his assistants and who among this D guys would want to follow him: BOUDREAUX, BrandonBRACKENRIDGE, TyronBROWN, WeldonHURL, Samuel*JACKSON, TristanPETERS, BrianREGIMBALD-GAGNE, Kevin*TAYLOR, HileeTHOMAS, CarlosTURENNE, WoodnyWILLIAMS, Rod

January 9, 201510 yr comment_102767 How's Brackenridge at SAM? Wouldn't Mind Hurl either Not nearly as good as he is at safety. Brack & Weldon Brown are both really good players, but we don't have a huge need for either one of them. Hurl at a decent salary would be a nice pick up as well.
