December 2, 20159 yr comment_172199 And no, we don't want Cortez. The game has passed him by. I was wondering if somebody else felt like this. I kept waiting to see "the magic", but instead I've seen other OCs weaving in their own "styling". That is what I'd like to see, - not the old-ideas is old-ideas but he-was-good-at-one-point-kind-of-guy. He and O'Shea? Can't see it.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172200 Tedford out in BC, Cortez soon to follow. And no, we don't want Cortez. The game has passed him by. I'd take Cortez with the game passing him by before Lapo who never had much game to start with.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172201 Actually, Khari has 2 years as OC. I wouldn't call that zero track record.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172204 Tedford out in BC, Cortez soon to follow. And no, we don't want Cortez. The game has passed him by. I'm nuetral on Cortez but that's a bit harsh. What's missing from his approach that reflects today's game? Being grumpy and over the hill as someone else remarked isn't really a reason. Most coaches are grumpy all the time. Age is not a factor imo.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172208 God I hope this completely blows up in Buono's face.... I can't believe BC let Glenn walk in the off-season and then headed into this year with no reliable alternative to Lulay coming off a career threatening injury. Can hardly blame Tedford for their record, he did get them into the playoffs in his first season as HC and looked to be getting the hang of the job by season's end. Must be misery to work under Wally.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172211 Transition for Willy would be easier with Cortez as OC. Positives would be that he took a BC oline that was only second worst to ours in 2014 and with no real significant changes made them much better.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172214 Still saying that they just end up promoting Buck. He'll come cheap. Bombers really missed the boat with Jason Maas...
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172221 Still saying that they just end up promoting Buck. He'll come cheap. Bombers really missed the boat with Jason Maas... Did they really? after the first 2 touchdowns in the Grey Cup the Esks D made them look pretty ordinary. Easy to be an OC when you don't have any injuries on the offense, but the good defenses could still shut that team down.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172223 Maas at least demonstrated variety and creativity in his offence. Not years of the 2nd and 10yd 6 yd out or 5 yd hitch screen that has been the steady diet here.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172226 .....With the negative statements Wally had for Harris, like 'you could go work in a bank and nobody will notice you'...I think it would be a stretch to see Harris back in the leo fold next year...Buono also had some other choice remarks for Andrew that would make it difficult for him to re-sign there BUT we shall see.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172233 Where was KJ's 2 years as an OC? He was an OC in Hamilton in 2011 and BC's OC in 2014.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172242 I'd take Cortez in a second. BC was behind us in TOP and way ahead in points scored and they were using a backup QB too. Cortez has a great track record over a lot of years too. I don't see him being a Walters/O'Shea type of signing though.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172245 I agree with Mike on passing on Cortez. Many a times the Lions massively under utilized Harris and completely ignored Arceneaux. That being said he's still massive upgrade over MB
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172246 Rumors are Cortez is looking to be retired... They weren't exactly miles a head either in terms of points scored... they had something like 16 more points scored than us... How could they be behind us in time of possession? Our D was on the field for 40 minutes a game at times.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172254 I agree with Mike on passing on Cortez. Many a times the Lions massively under utilized Harris and completely ignored Arceneaux. That being said he's still massive upgrade over MB the Lions had a gimpy Lulay at qb who could barely throw and then had to use a bunch of rookies... not exactly a recipe for consistent offense.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172257 Rumors are Cortez is looking to be retired... They weren't exactly miles a head either in terms of points scored... they had something like 16 more points scored than us... How could they be behind us in time of possession? Our D was on the field for 40 minutes a game at times. Points by offense: BC - 394, WPG - 309 = 85 more points than us.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172259 If Chris Jones walks there's strong indication that Maas would be the next Esks HC.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172260 Fun fact about the 2015 BC offense: they started Jennings in their last eight games. During that stretch they were the third-best offense in the league at 26.875 ppg. Ottawa had 30ppg in that stretch and Edmonton had 28.875. Calgary was a point behind BC at 25.875. Cortez made hay with a pure rookie at QB last year -- and the BC offense continued to improve even as film got out on Jennings. Pretty nice job by the coach, setting up his rookie QB to succeed.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172264 Cortez would be a great OC for us but I expect him to stay in BC unless I missed something.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172265 Cortez would be a great OC for us but I expect him to stay in BC unless I missed something. Buono has already announced that he will not be returning to BC...
