RedBlacks (Desjardins) taking a beating on twitter for denying the Riders permission to speak to Elizondo. All tweets saying Desjardins is being petty & unfair by not allowing him an opportunity to be a HC. They must all be Rider fans. It's nearly February & why should Ottawa hurt themselves to help Saskatchewan?

Thank you, Kyle Walters.

The first row will be the only row getting any of the balls.

LaPo's been a HC in this league. He's been an assistant for a long time as well so I'mpretty sure he knows the score. If he doesn't understand the situation then he isn't very smart or very naïve. Why would the Bombers just let him walk away now? If he's upset you have to ask why? They let him interview for the Argos HC position so saying that the team is denying him the opportunity to be a HC is completely false.

If true.... Walters should have let him interview...

bahahaha cue riderfans implosion

Why the hell would we do that? Why don't we worry about our team's interests first instead of the Riders? If this is true & we lose LaPo I won't be happy.

Wasted opportunity tonight.

Hey its not Nylander's fault that he has as many points of Jaroslav Halak.

If LaPo wanted to be a head coach so badly, he could have pounced on several of the previous opportunities he has had. This isn't just about becoming a head coach. Its clear he is/was more interested in the Rider job because its still close to family. I'd feel bad about this if it was December. For those looking to blame Ottawa, Winnipeg or whoever else, the blame pretty clearly still lies with Chris Jones.

Sure doesn't sound like something Paul would do, he's too smart to ruffle feathers. Awaiting his concise response.

Rider fans crying because we won’t do them any favours. Jones and the riders left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths, why in the world would the Blue Bombers and Redblacks do the Riders a favour? Respect is a two way street.

Glad to hear we have Lapo back just from a continuity standpoint. I still reserve the right to ***** when he goes into "Smartest Man in the Room" mode.

So, Geoff Currier doesn't know a thing.

Let's do a poll and see.

If the riders were head over heels on hiring Lapolice, then why did they approach Ottawa first....Maybe they know they don't have a chance in hell of convincing Paul to move to that tire fire....Far too late in the year to start filling important positions and I don't blame Ottawa...They're stuck and a hire from within is most likely their only route...We should hear a commitment from Lapo soon or if not we're going to be left with our jocks blowing in the breeze

Jets are playing absolutely brutal. They’re already on break.

Hoping the Bombers will follow suit and deny request to interview Lapo by the Criders.

The guy is a jerk.. However... He did the bombers a huge favor. Perhaps without having his salary freed up it would have been spent elsewhere and we wouldn't have been able to sign and later extend Bighill. Had he not done what he did Steveler would have a whole lot less experience now than he has and I would argue he helped the team more last season than Durant would have or an alternative to Durant like Kevin Glenn would have. It really worked out well for the Bombers and poorly for Durant lol
