December 2, 20159 yr comment_172338 Apparently you can poach guys by offering more money and changing their title. I say axe the US scouting dept and offer Murphy more money and a fancier title. That way Walters can stay too.

December 2, 20159 yr comment_172346 MB failed for half a season in Wpg before they MO hired him and MB made Anthony freakin Calvillo look like he was done. We kept him for continuity after 1.5 years of failure so Willy didn't have to learn another offense? It would have been significantly better to have Willy learn an offense where he didn't take a huge beating game in and game out. Might/Likely saved our season last year. Figuring out that Tracey wasn't going to get the job done after 1 season might have saved our last season too. That's a big part of O'Shea's job to know what's working and what isn't and to make the tough decisions. He has made the tough decisions...He has fired three coaches..what else to you want him to do...resign? I'd want him to know that MB wasn't a good choice in the first place. I'd want him to at the very least fire MB after year 1 when it was obvious to pretty much everyone that he wasn't doing a good job. I'd want him to get rid of Tracey after year 1, not half way through year 2. I'd want him not to hire Etch in the first place. He's paid to make the right decisions and he hasn't made many.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_172349 Year 3, if Walters can't significantly improve the roster, he needs the apple and the road map.

December 3, 20159 yr comment_172379 Plenty of fish in the ocean still, they'll just have to throw out a few more lines and not settle for a mullet. But if you are already a mullet then you are going to want to school with other mullets
December 3, 20159 yr comment_172382 wait and see what shakes down with the head coaching positions league wide and then we will see the ability to talk to more guys.

December 3, 20159 yr comment_172409 Desjardins can steal coaches from teams but obviously other teams can't from him. Two faced. Why do you think I hate the redblacks & everything about them?

No one's perfect so no, I don't expect perfect. I'd give him a bad hire or two, but he had 3 bad coordinator hires out of 3 in the first year alone and that doesn't count the players he hired like Kuale and Romby. I didn't see any other teams wanting to hire Etch or MB or Tracey because their HC's knew better in the first place. If their HC's knew, O'Shea should have known too.

December 4, 20159 yr comment_172663 Just saying but a lot of what Arash Madani says turns out to be false later. The guy has been wrong so many times recently it's crazy actually. As for preference for OC... really... just about anyone with some experience running a successful O Kerwin Bell is interesting
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172676 Guy was 9 and 2 as head coach at Jacksonville University. Leaving due to philosophical difference
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172730 I'm excited, who cares that other teams are already improving their coaching staff for the upcoming year, we've signed another long haired National LB, and Pop-a-what-ya-may-call-it

I can't believe our guys are just sitting on their hands while everyone else is scooping up all the available coaches... I mean, think about all hires the other teams are up to... BC, oh wait they just fired some people... well there's Calgary, oh no wait, they just did a restructuring that was planned for over a year... then definitely Sask, oh wait, they haven't actually hired anyone yet either....
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172794 So once Jones goes to Sask., once Maas goes to Edm., once LaPo goes to BC, once Cortez retires, that's when the Bombers will come up with their OC interview list? This seems very similar to having the 9th pick on draft day.
