  2. Don't get me wrong...if we had to blow our nut on a player this offseason I am glad it was BO.
  3. And run...he could run.,,,and yes it was damned glorious. He came into the CFL as a LBer.
  4. It's quite possible at that time he was still looking for a better gig and turned the Stamps down. QB coach in the CFL isn't the most lucrative gig. After the bowl games and end of the college season, there are a ton of guys getting turfed and a ton of potential jobs opening up. If I'm a NCAA coach I'm waiting to see what comes up too. Then end of March comes around and there really isn't a fit the CFL starts looking a whole lot better. Baldwin is a much better fit for the CFL than he is for 95% of NCAA football programs. His offence is very similar to a CFL offence and that is not the case down south too much. Whatever the reason he wasn't finding work down south is 100% irrelevant to the CFL though. His starting college QBs during his tenure down South: Bo Levi, Mike Reilly, Matt Nichols, and Vernon Adams. He is a guy that develops CFL QBs very, very well and that's what he is now hired to do.
  5. There was a pretty coherent argument made that the Bombers shouldn't have been that deep on BO either. Maybe we are undervaluing him here or are missing some key information in the big picture? Count me as one that didn't want the Bombers to pay what we paid for a RB. However, I, also, agree with you premise that he most definitely wasn't or shouldn't have been a priority type offer for Hamilton with the holes they needed filling. At any rate, we and a couple other teams have given/offered unicorn RB numbers to him so let's hope he earns it.
  6. As a QB coach this is a really good get. His resume of grooming CFL QBs speaks for itself. Stealng? No definitely not stealing, he was unemployed. However, getting a guy that can groom QBs that can play at a high level in the CFL? Baldwin would be at or near the top of the list of every CFL team. So definitely a sneaky good signing by them.
  7. Not a specific old Bomber game related question but this seems the most appropriate thread to ask this following question. I was over on Facebook, and there was a posting about how the Bombers coaches and players had a meeting and decided to turf Sean Salisbury during the 1989 season. I don't remember this, or perhaps I have chosen to forget it? Lee Saltz did take over and play the final few games and playoffs despite Salisbury leading the East in passing at the time. I just thought we released him to go to the NFL? Does anyone recall this?
  8. Unemployment will definitely get a guy looking for work.
  9. Not sure but maybe just the need for a new challenge?
  10. If he can get Maier going then it will be a real feather in his cap.
  11. Yea...I HATE that a division rival got him, but it is nice to see him in the league.
  12. Real sneaky good hire by the Stamps today. Beau Baldwin is a good QB coach.
  13. They are being advised not to attend because one bad CFL combine and the NFL will not look their way at all.
