December 4, 20159 yr comment_172748 Madani was right about huff being offered the Sask job. Why people think they can have those conversations and make those offers and think it won't get leaked is ludicrous. Then insult people by then denying it is worse. Huff told too many people and I know one of the people he told. The story from Craig Reynolds (a fairly reliable source) is he asked Huff if he was interested... Huff said no... end of conversation... there was never an "offer"...
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172762 Khari and Miller are old friends and business partners. Job is his for the taking. Im sure Westwood will appear as a kicking consultant too.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172780 Khari and Miller are old friends and business partners. Job is his for the taking. Im sure Westwood will appear as a kicking consultant too. Both of those are the wrong decisions imo
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172797 See, I'm not gonna pretend to say " person x" is the wrong hire cuz i have no idea what they are going on about in their meetings.. As much as at times, I like to think i'm an expert on everything, the reality is... I'm not. I'm a fan, i really don't know what's going on behind the scenes and quite frankly, i don't think it's any of my business. If Khari is the guy, then so be it... It must mean whatever he said in his meeting with O'shea, cuz regardless, it's gonna be O'shea picking the OC, people can talk of Khari being friends with Miller and all this, It's irrelevant... It really is and I think people who say that... they are pushing an agenda of sorts, pretending the old boys club exists when it really doesn't... The reality in the CFL, everybody knows everybody... Miller knowing Khari? Who cares, cuz he also knows LAPO, Maas, Brady,Cortez and a bunch of other people. If Khari is the guy, you know what? Good, let's see what he can do before throwing him under the bus before he even gets a chance. Conspiracy theories are great and all but, really 90 percent of them are just pure BS... Miller isn't the guy picking the OC, O'shea is.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172803 O'Shea is not dumb and he knows that he's running out of chances. So I expect that he's going to try and hire like his career depends on it.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172807 Yup. Regardless of who the OC is, Whether it's Lapo,Brady,Maas,Cortez(doubt it due to retiring and all), Whoever really... Gotta give them a chance. See what they can do, might surprise some people.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172814 Yup. Regardless of who the OC is, Whether it's Lapo,Brady,Maas,Cortez(doubt it due to retiring and all), Whoever really... Gotta give them a chance. See what they can do, might surprise some people. We did that with Barresi... then Crowton... then Bellefuile... Why would we need to give OCs time... should Redblacks have given Mike Gibson one more season? If the offence doesn't click within the first season, its not going to...
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172816 Good god man, It's the friggin off-season. We haven't even hired an OC yet... Can you maybe just maybe wait until they name the OC until you start all of the doom and gloom stuff. Cuz right now, what's the point really...
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172821 History does repeat itself.....the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172841 Yup. Regardless of who the OC is, Whether it's Lapo,Brady,Maas,Cortez(doubt it due to retiring and all), Whoever really... Gotta give them a chance. See what they can do, might surprise some people. We did that with Barresi... then Crowton... then Bellefuile... Why would we need to give OCs time... should Redblacks have given Mike Gibson one more season? If the offence doesn't click within the first season, its not going to... So what would make Khari unsuitable? He's pretty much the stereotypical pick for a guy to get an OC position.... ex quarterback in the league, been on several offensive staffs the last few years and always has a job so he's not being shunned because he's a poor coach.... Seems like exactly the kind of guy who goes on to become an offensive coordinator. He got bumped out of the position in BC because of Cortez coming available so when you lose your position to a guy with that kind of track record is it really a black mark? His time as OC in Hamilton he had Bellefool as head coach and Kevin Glenn as quarterback, pretty much the recipe for mediocrity at best. If Khari Jones was anyone other than a former Bomber people would be more excited about hiring him, but having a past connection to the Bombers brings up too much talk of old boys clubs which are seen in a negative light around here.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172850 Good god man, It's the friggin off-season. We haven't even hired an OC yet... Can you maybe just maybe wait until they name the OC until you start all of the doom and gloom stuff. Cuz right now, what's the point really...You have to understand.It's training camp right now for the second-guessers and place-pickers. There really aren't any right picks for OC according to a few, not because there aren't any, it's just that any choice the Blue will make won't be good enough or will have been pre-chosen or "leftovers". And that's why you don't see them making their own choices. You've heard the term bait-and-switch? This is wait-and-b*itch. Or in Khari's case, this is a pre-b*itcher's dream come true - former Bomber....knows the big boss. Gotta be two "faux pas" right there.

December 4, 20159 yr comment_172859 Well. The negative posts don't really bother me. I guess I just don't see the point in being negative at this time. It's one thing to criticize the team but when you do it all the time... it gets old and makes you wonder if some people truly are bomber fans or if they are just here to constantly complain about everything
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172865 Did someone call for me? I don't pile on do I? LOL. Seriously though, I am about as neutral as one can get on this regime. My mind changes daily on whether we should fire them or not.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172866 This is a big pressure hire for O'Shea. There are a few good candidates out there that will be a vast improvement to MB. I wouldn't be super stoked with a Khari hire but I'd be willing to give him a chance. I thought he did a pretty decent job with BC in 2014 considering he had no QBs to work with.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172868 O'Shea is not dumb and he knows that he's running out of chances. So I expect that he's going to try and hire like his career depends on it.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172871 O'Shea is not dumb and he knows that he's running out of chances. So I expect that he's going to try and hire like his career depends on it. Actually I hope he's not making decisions with this mindset as he'd be more apt to make a mistake.

Actually I hope he's not making decisions with this mindset as he'd be more apt to make a mistake. I would rather a coach make every major decision this way, because ultimately, he career does count on them.
December 4, 20159 yr comment_172883 Madani was right about huff being offered the Sask job. Why people think they can have those conversations and make those offers and think it won't get leaked is ludicrous. Then insult people by then denying it is worse. Huff told too many people and I know one of the people he told. The story from Craig Reynolds (a fairly reliable source) is he asked Huff if he was interested... Huff said no... end of conversation... there was never an "offer"... That still is tampering. But this is the CFL so it's pretty much a joke.

Apparently it's not considered tampering in the CFL: The 'Riders offered me their own explanation on Wednesday. “('Riders president Craig Reynolds) followed CFL protocol with all our GM candidates,” said a 'Riders spokesperson. "He approached candidates directly to see if they were interested in the position. If a candidate expressed interest, Craig then contacted the concerned organization to ask for permission. In the case of (Hufnagel), Craig asked and John said he wasn’t interested. So the process ended there. We didn’t ask for permission to speak to him and we never made him an offer.” http://www.tsn.ca/roughriders-never-made-offer-to-hufnagel-1.403336
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172921 I imagine teams have done their homework already on potential candidates and have an idea of who they want and how they rank them on their wish list. As a fan I would like to see K.Jones or J.Jackson or possibly M.Brady here next year as our OC. They all seem to be on the cusp of being very good OC's.
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172924 If only the Riders for some weird reason ended up with Bellefeuille that would be awesome.
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172932 The Riders with Reinbold as GM, Jim Daley as Head Coach, Marcel as OC and Etch as DC would be a dream.
