    Spoken like someone who hasn't spent much time in Regina.

    That's crazy to think a coach would want a say in the players he's going to coach.

    You don't think Lapo is all that adaptable, so your solution is to make him adapt to players he didn't choose for his offense?

Saw Darren Cameron tweet out today that will announce that this week or next

I was looking for an update on the coaching staff and saw Darren Cameron's original tweet. He said within the next few weeks, not this week or the next.

What major coaching positions are empty?

Special Teams coach unless O'Shea does that himself.

DB's and WR's.  Maybe an additional coach somewhere.  Paul Charbonneau was assistant OL coach but he's gone now so there could be room for a 'quality control' guy or other assistant somewhere.

One of the concerns about LaPo when he was HC was that he tried to do too much himself and failed to delegate. Hopefully he has learned from that and this isn't him taking on too much again.

I somehow doubt a former HC is going to be overburdened by going his current duties and coaching up the receivers.. seeing as he will be working with said receivers on a regular basis anyway..

Every OC works with his receivers on a regular basis and they still need a receivers coach.

I would prefer that the OC oversee the entire offense and not coach any group, except maybe the running backs.  There is so much to coach up - including on game day for the receivers.

I'm ok with Lapolice being the Receivers coach, but if O'Shea is the STC again, we may not see the improvement that we all expect. 

Do you mean improvement from end-point last year? Because, there was noticeable extra special teams play improvement when MOS took over last year. There will be improvement again this year, I feel, because I would suspect the HC doesn't want it to be a distraction like it was last year. I would prefer someone else handle the duties, at least an assistant, but, even though his name is not Chris Jones...he can handle it.

IMO... Coaching is a full time job and every time you give more than 1 full time job to a coach you're making them work twice as hard and dividing their focus. I'd rather a rookie receivers coach to handle the day to day with PLAP doing the top end work than PLAP doing both jobs full time. Same goes for O'Shea as the HC/STC. BTW: Yes... I know other coaches do it at a high level, but I'm not convinced that either PLAP or O'Shea are able to do 2 full time jobs.

There was also noticeable improvement when Ian Wild returned to the lineup.

so none, really lol.

Did I read somewhere in the last couple of days that Lapo was going to be the Receivers Coach or was I just drunk?  Or maybe both?
