December 5, 20159 yr comment_172946 Cortez has won FIVE Cups as an OC, I don't care about his recent failure or perceived failure. The BC offence looked pretty darn good with him in charge and he was a champ as recently as two years ago. Is he interested is the only issue IMO. He's no spring chicken. I remember hearing that Harris didn't like his offence, well sorry but if he wants to not sign here because of it so be it. How many Cups have Lapo's teams WON again? You should. The CFL is a constantly evolving league. Would you want Wally Buono as a head coach these days? I sure wouldn't. Why? Because the game has passed him by, and there's an argument to be made that the same thing has happened to Cortez. Cortez wouldn't be my first choice. Like I said ... if Willy likes him enough, fine. But I'm wary of hiring him. Whoa I'd take Buono over MOS any day of the week not even close.
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172972 I have my opinion on who I want them to hire... but at the end of the day, Ill root for whoever they pick weather it be Lapo, Khari, Cortez, Brady or Maas.... Until they give me a reason not too.
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172975 The Riders with Reinbold as GM, Jim Daley as Head Coach, Marcel as OC and Etch as DC would be a dream.Mack as GMgainer as the ceo
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172982 O'Shea is not dumb and he knows that he's running out of chances. Â So I expect that he's going to try and hire like his career depends on it. With all due respect, I don't know how smart O'Shea is, especially after his body of work the last two seasons.
December 5, 20159 yr comment_172984 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  This study would suggest a different reason ...  http://io9.com/5848119/do-eternally-optimistic-people-just-have-malfunctioning-frontal-lobes  This part was particularly interesting ...  "From an evolutionary perspective, excessive optimism is generally a bad idea. After all, if you're constantly assuming good things will happen, you'll probably be ill-prepared when bad things inevitably come along. Now scientists have an explanation...which isn't exactly flattering to the eternally optimistic." ...  "So then, those of us blessed with an eternally sunny disposition also have a brain that doesn't process unwanted information correctly. I would go ahead and warn all my optimistic friends about this, but I have the sinking suspicion that they'd just find the bright side of a malfunctioning frontal lobe."
December 5, 20159 yr comment_173015 The Riders with Reinbold as GM, Jim Daley as Head Coach, Marcel as OC and Etch as DC would be a dream. Ok now your just being mean. LOL. No Jim Daley on staff?
December 6, 20159 yr comment_173065 Well looks like the Bombers have asked the Eskies for permission to speak to Jarious Jackson. Jackson is waiting for Jones' decision first. Jackson would be an interesting option for OC
December 6, 20159 yr comment_173066 Everyone is waiting for Jones decision. Jones will have the pick of the crop then the defending Grey Cup champs who ever their HC, then BC and then Wpg.
December 6, 20159 yr comment_173091 Why would the leos/ Wally have a better shot at hiring a coach...I don't hear of anyone breaking down the doors to coach the leos, with Wally back in charge...In fact I think we are a more desirable place to play and coach, and we'll find that out when the dust settles...
December 6, 20159 yr comment_173096 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. Â I want a guy who can bring/attract some coveted free agents with him, our talent needs a boost too.
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173196 gary lawless        ✔ @garylawless Look for @Wpg_BlueBombers to try and move fast on Paul LaPolice for OC now @cfl top candidates for @EdmontonEsks HC will be Maas, Steinauer   But...but why?!?!
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173204 Guess LaPo will figure he is ass out on a HC job and if he wants to get back into coaching he better take an OC job.
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173208 I have zero interest in bringing Lapo back as our OC. The only positive is that basically guarantees that this regime gets fired by Labour Day.
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173211 LaPo might say he wants to go after the HC job in Edm and Wpg panics and gives him a deadline on the OC job. Sadly he takes the Wpg OC job.
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173212 Bomber tagline for 2016 when they rehire Lapo: Â Unfinished business - 2011 edition, baby
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173213 I have zero interest in bringing Lapo back as our OC. The only positive is that basically guarantees that this regime gets fired by Labour Day. Might be a good way to save money. Â Team gets off to a poor start, Â O'Shea is fired, Lapo takes on the role of head coach to go along with his OC job. Â "tis the Bomber way.

But I'm wary of hiring him. Whoa I'd take Buono over MOS any day of the week not even close. How do you know the game has passed Cortez or Buono by? Because they're over 60 so naturally they know nothing about offenses & defenses anymore. Wally has become a bad GM because he tries to replace veterans with chepaer rookies but it really didn't work. He did the same in Calgary & always got away with it because of great depth until 2002 when the floor fell through as well as dealing with wacky new ownership in F Troop. . But even so, constantly turning over the personnel eventually will cause problems as it has the past 2 seasons in BC. But the game passing those 2 by? No, I don't believe that for a second. Not until I see it on the field in losses. I think Cortez did a masterful job coaching up Jonathan Jennings this past season. Cortez did his job as a coach, Wally did a lousy job as a GM.Â
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173240 I could see LaPo as head coach in Edmonton...  Nope...Hervey's smarter than that.  Only the Bombers could be fooled by Lapo's greatness.    Â
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173241 Maas will be Esks head coach. I'd imagine the bombers will get Jones Jackson or Lapolice. Preference is probably lapolice out of those 3. He's a good coordinator. Just not a good head coach. Sask O was pretty good with him in charge
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173248 Bobby Dyce's name was in the mix but it seems to have fizzled out.  Always thought he had a brilliant football mind but the lustre seems to have worn off since he lost his OC duties in Sask. Â
December 7, 20159 yr comment_173251 I'm not sure Jason Maas is ready for a head coaching job quite yet.  To me it seems like a decision based on the heart vs. the head.Â
