Cause it matters so much considering it's ******* december.....smh Just goes to show the rampant dysfunction that still exists in the Bomber front office. Power struggle for a month and a half over firing a coordinator. Why are you married to this idea that the length of time it took to make the announcement automatically means there was a power struggle? That's a pretty huge leap, based on complete lack of facts to support that. I guess when you leave the fan base twisting in the wind for 7 weeks after the season, it leaves a lot of time for speculation. My bad, I guess. I should just buy my tickets like a good little boy and stop questioning anything the Bombers do. Lemmings Atomic. That's all they are. Can't question because you're not loyal. Can't ask why things are taking so long because you're impatient. Some fans would jump off a 500 meter cliff if Walters told them so just because Walters told them so. Relax he'd say, you'll land on your feet. Won't hurt a bit. They'd believe him. I'm just glad the guy is gone so we can move forward with a coach who can actually build a defense. Besides, like the majority of us didn't think it would end this way? Pfft, the benevolent Kyle Walters would never ask such a thing. By his Grace and all things Blue and Gold, if he did ask such a test of our faith, we would land on our feet and it wouldn't hurt a bit. Now go repent for your blasphemous slander of anything Blue and Good. I'll go quote you scriptures. After all I live in Alberta which is a Lake Of Fire.

Being a DL coach under Stubler will only make him a more complete coach. That was Huff's reasoning. Felt it would be good for Claybrooks. He's right.

Stand Pat & Tweak or ... Make Real Changes
iso_55 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Survey says.... Real changes. Firing of Etcheverry today confirmed that. New DC means new coaches & personnel. -
Claybrooks seems to be the hot guy this off season. Huff likes him a lot & was going to make him DC last year but Rich Stubler became available.

Besides, like the majority of us didn't think it would end this way? There are so many strawmen in this paragraph you're going to have buy some farm land. Nobody, literally nobody, is saying you "can't question" the team or franchise. Can't question? With the kool aid drinkers here??? Sure. Where have you been the past 6 weeks? Anytime anyone asked anything about the Bombers & the status of the coaching staff, in particular the coordinators... they were put down, insulted, mocked & ridiculed... You guys can mock me all you want for saying what I just did but I feel vindicated as I was against this hiring right from the start & never changed my mind about Etcheverry & that eventually he would be fired. Hate to see anyone lose their job but he was the wrong hire from Day 1. No one is drinking the koolaid. We're just not as impatient as you are. For example, as much as I want MB gone, if they do get rid of him, I'm not expecting them to do it seconds after the Grey Cup. Well, I agree but taking to a week before Xmas?? Anyway, I just felt like ruffling a few feathers on this forum with my comments so no harm no foul. Just glad Etch is gone.

My thoughts exactly.

Well, Wally sure covered his bases. This is so Wally.

Benny has two years left on his contract. Why wouldn't he just sit back & relax for this season?
-
Etcheverry HAD to go. There were no if's and's or but's. By far the worst DC in the CFL. Once teams figured out his schemes we were done. And he couldn't or wouldn't adjust. Even after MOS said he'd have to change he still refused. Stubborness got him fired... again. Who needs a guy with a mindset like that as a coordinator? Good riddance.

Chapdelaine could be the Riders OC for 2015

Chamblin fires every coordinator he hires. He has fired position coaches. The guy is a scapegoat coach. It's never HIS fault. Always someone else. I wish Jacques well. I just hope a year from now the same thing that happened to Cortez & Hall doesn't happen to him. -

Sucks for SFU & my son... That's all I'm going to say. -
Most Jets fans liked Noel. His biggest mistake was that he decided to treat the professional players like professionals. And after 2 years of expecting the players to demand excellence of themselves, he realized this group did not have a strong enough internal leadership. But you can't sell whip-cracking after 2 years of not being a hardass. The players don't believe it. Maurice comes in and plays hardass from day 1. There were a few other nuts and bolts problems, and Perry Pearn didn't do jack squat to help this team, but the players' lack of buy-in was the biggest issue Noel faced. Nail Yakupov has played 13 months of NHL hockey. He scored 11 goals in the month of April 2013. He has scored 21 goals in the other 12 months of his NHL career. An average of less than 2 per month. If you plot them out on a chart, picking out which month is the outlier would be pretty easy to do. Is John Druce the greatest playoff performer in NHL history? You have to be careful about forming opinions on small sample sizes when there a larger sample sizes that suggest otherwise. I'm guessing if I was a teenager playing hockey in Russia it would be a pretty difficult transition. Yakupov may have better days in front of him, but his progress so far makes it seem like his ceiling as a player might be where we thought his floor was. And Eakins absolutely did not help his progress along. Your definition of progress is looser than ours. If they are landing the number 1 overall pick year after year after year, well it doesn't scream progress. Eakins hadn't done anything to deserve to keep that job. Number 1 problem? Well he had nothing to do with the near decade-long shitshow that preceded his hiring. Why was he hired in the first place? The players reportedly loved Krueger and the team showed progress under him. But McTavish decided Eakins was the greatest thing since sliced bread. A stupid failure from upper management. Eakins was nothing more than the latest example of what a colossal failure Oilers' management is. Pretending he is the number 1 problem is the mentality that allows for Lowe and crew to get another 5 years to continue to mismanage the franchise. And I have no problems with that. Screw the Oilers. Eakins wasn't the problem despite what 17 says. It starts at the top with a stupid owner who worships at the shrine of the 80's Oilers & who keeps hiring retreads & failures to run his team. McT failed as a coach before. Hey, no problem.... just bring him back to manage the team. Just because Darryl Katz is a fan. That's where the problem is. letting incompetents run the Oilers. Naturally, they hire a guy with no prior NHL coaching success & experience. Eakins was doomed to failure right from the start.

Where's the Fiesta Bowl? Okay saw it.

Seems as good a reason as any. Stupid is as stupid does.

He probably deserves the most credit for turning around the Als season. But he seems pretty set on either being a HC or going back to his beach side mansion in California to be with his Playboy wife. Must be a rough life for Mr Garcia... He probably deserves the most credit for turning around the Als season.

Hank Burris had some real winner tweets when he was in Calgary. That was one of the reasons he was dealt to Hamilton. Just said some dumb things. -
Is this real? No.
