Are assistant coaches being hired as head coaches too young & not ready for the position? We've seen Paul LaPolice as HC have his issues with indecision as well as strange play calling when he was Bombers HC. We saw Dave Dickenson's decision to go with Andrew Buckley on the goal line that failed in last year's GC. We saw Corey Chamblin win a GC then flames out 2 years later as HC of the Riders. We've seen Jason Maas totally lose it on the sidelines & make that strange FG call yesterday. Most of these young coaches still want to be coordinators instead of just head coaches. They don't have the experience of head coaches in the past. They seem to have a tendency of loading too much responsibilities on themselves. The majority of today's CFL head coaches are generally in their early 40's. Should older & more experienced coaches be hired instead? Is hiring young coaches a liability because they lack the experience to delegate? I see a lot of stubbornness & ego when I look at Maas & Jones to their detriment. I see the same with Reed as well. Of course, I saw a lot of the same stubbornness & ego in Kent Austin as well & he's 54.

I can just see Greg Marshall jumping at the chance to coach the Als. I mean, can't you??? Stubler? He's almost 70. Would Claybrooks leave the Stamps to go to the Als??? I think it all comes down to all those guys on the list feeling that Reed has the capability to bring in players, how bad the qb situation actually is & if they have faith in Reed as a GM.

My take? Until Hurl is moved he is there. Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I saw a tweet today with the headline discussing why the Riders lost. I was going to click on the link & then I saw it was written & posted by Rod Pederson so I just ignored it.

Hard to feel sorry for a guy who treats his assistants so poorly & has a volatile temper. Ye reaps what ye sows. It all comes back ten fold. Next time he needs to remember a little humbleness & that everybody screws up. Even him. I know it's hard for Jason to accept even he can screw up. If he has a real beef with an assistant take it behind closed doors & work it out.

How would any coach look without a great qb?

So, Walters & O'Shea were talking about how Muamba & Mulamba have given them the cold shoulder. Conversation went something like this: Walters: Been around the world & I... I... I... And we been playa hated. O'Shea: Why? Walters: I don't know & I don't know why Why they want us faded O'Shea: Why? Walters: Is it our ladies or drop Mercedes? Baby, baby. O'Shea: Why?

Call Louis Riel long distance & he can straighten you out.

Well unfortunately, we know Stepanie will be there to suck the life out of Raw.

Not like O'Shea at all. More like Bud Grant.

Hunter did look surprisingly slow. Angle, you'd expect that with his back & neck issues. The ending did suck. So, does the Authority come back & go after Strowman who is now a full blown face? My least favourite match was the Bliss-Flair match. I thought it was awful.

When you think of the word choke, the name Calgary Stampeders jumps right out at you. It'll be interesting to see if they shed that label this Sunday. I expect the collars will be tight on every player & coach for this game as there is a lot of pressure on them to win. The Argos? They've got nothing to lose so just go out, play hard, have fun & see what happens.

Imagine if Milanovich had stayed & they put the Argos future in the hands of Drew Willy?? For an Argos fan, that's some kind of scary thought. I'd be surprised if Willy even is on a roster next season.

The only thing I question is in a thread like this if you want to pay a tribute to a fallen celeb, athlete or musician then it's hard to do. I've seen videos deleted for musicians & bands because it seems to be judged as inappropriate for some reason. I put up a video for Malcolm Young as I'm a AC/DC fan. Hopefully, it's not taken down.

Any thoughts on Survivor Series? I only saw about half but the matches but Bliss & Flair was booked badly. Totally unbelievable from the start to the finish the way they had Alexa dominating Charlotte.

Honest question.

I've always found this thread strangely morbid. Do we really need a thread dedicated to people dying rather than just posting randomly?

Rest in Peace Malcolm Young...

Wow, I have nothing to add to this... Well done.

No rug rats?

After this year I'll take Bonzo The Chimp if he can play MLB.

Yeah. Pederson is a fool.

Do we drive up the Brinks truck to his door?

Alex Singleton said that he disrespected the Stamps offense. Maas says he has no regrets with that call. That'll go over like a ton of bricks in Edmonton. No regrets?
