And I don't get where you're coming from.

All the people who want to dump Nichols. Amazing how fast people forget 2013, 14 & 15.

I wonder if it's now appropriate to ask how Jason Boltus would have done behind that line? Maybe we threw away a superstar & didn't know it.

Maccioccia has a tenured position at U of Montreal. Too give that up to be the Montreal Als President is very risky. He's smart to stay where he is.

No, don't think that. You may be right & as time goes on it is looking like Maurice may be fired. However you are complaining about coaching on just about every message you post in the Jets Forum here. I'm just saying you don't have to tell us everytime as we posters here already know your feelings. #pokingthebear

How about better talent?

I watched Trump yesterday come on for an interview on CBS during the third quarter of the Army-Navy Game. They asked him what they thought about the game & he said he didn't know how good the level of the football game was. He just had to get that cheap shot dig in whether he knew it or not. These are young men who'll be on the front lines defending America soon & he kind of mocked how the players play. It was so Trump & so dumb. Just another day in the life of a clueless President -Elect.

You sound like a broken record. Okay, we get it. You don't like Maurice. Why do you have to keep repeating yourself on every thread here?

I understand why the Als would want Chapedelaine. He's got years of experience & has had success at the Offensive Coordinator position. He's Francophone which would appeal to fans in Quebec. But Reed as GM? I think that's a quite a stretch & a huge mistake.

No team is ever going to favour a 42 year old qb over a 30 year old. If Burris was smart he'd take the GC win & ride off into the sunset. However, Burris has a huge ego & he wants the spotlight as either a Grey Cup winner or as a "Poor Me" tragedy if he's benched next year. So, I think he continues to play. I don't think he can actually retire with grace. He'll hang around until he is no longer is wanted & then cry the blues.

Why would Ottawa trade Harris? Burris will be 42 & their contracts are structured that Harris gets a big raise & will be the starter while Burris takes a pay cut & will be the backup. Burris is a freak as an athlete but at his age one hit will be all it takes to finish his career. It's just too risky to turn the team over to Burris with no one behind him to be a quality backup or long term starter. I think that the RedBlacks would trade Burris before they trade Harris.

I thought Richards was a free agent but he's not on the list. I guess he's been signed for 3 years. I know so little about the guy. Could he take Kohlert's spot?

The Bombers couldn't go forward as an organization if Michael O'Shea wasn't the Head Coach. The signing of free agents is important & if a coaching change occurred most of the players on the list may not have been as willing to sign as they wouldn't know who'd take over. This is one time that I agree continuity was the most important consideration so this signing is so very big. Also having the GM here long term will help immensely.

This is great news. Now the work begins bringing back the coaching staff (with hopefully a new DC) & signing all of our key free agents. As well as planning for free agency.

I never want to find out. Drew Willy is gone & (hopefully) never coming back.

Agree. I think they should do that for every position. If a player is a right tackle then he can't be slotted in at guard or tackle, for example.

Montreal is going to be a hot mess again & of course that'll mean attendance issues. Their problem started with GM & head coach. It'll end at the qb position as they don't have anything with the qbs they have now. This is obviously all centered on ownership. If Wettenhall likes Jacques Chapdelaine so much then he should make Chapdelaine GM & Head coach.

John Lennon was shot dead in New York City thirty six years ago today in 1980. As well, John Glenn who in 1962, was the fist American astronaut in space who later became the oldest Astronaut to orbit Earth in space on the Space Shuttle at 77 years of age died today. Just to make it a Grand Slam kind of a day, Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake & Palmer also passed away today. John Lennon was 40 years of age. John Glenn was 95. Greg Lake was 68.

Just can't say D i c k. Even in a name. That's funny.

And not Sunderland either? I've no idea what Wettenhall is doing. Macciocia would have been a disaster. Sunderland has connections in the US & CIS. After winning a Grey Cup he should be Next Man Up for GM.

It's hard to believe that Montreal is actually considering Macciocia. He won a Grey Cup but that was Tom Higgin's team. The longer he coached & managed the Eskimos the worse they got. He hasn't a great track as GM or Head coach other than winning the Grey Cup. If this move is designed to find a billingual GM then it's a big mistake.

Improper socks are a huge issue. Glad Orridge got right on that for the good of the league.

Any word on Scheifle?
