I think we'll make our real assessment of this coaching staff once we name a DC & see who other teams have hired. We'll know ... whenever.

I'd love to see a flag thrown every time some damned receiver comes up after dropping a pass demanding a flag.

Lots of CFL assistant coaches make lateral moves, so why not? Kris Sweet moved from the Stamps to the Riders as OL coach. Give Steinhauer a title like Associate Head Coach or a role in scouting on top of his OC duties similar what the Argos did with Chris Jones when he bolted there from the Stamps after the 2011 season. Then they could justify it as a step up.

O'Shea should pry Orlando Steinhauer out of Hammy. They are supposed to be best of friends. Pay him the big, BIG, bucks to come here. Do whatever it takes.

All I know is that I get tired of seeing a PI call almost every time a deep pass is thrown downfield. It seems 8 out of 10 times the ref will flag it. Too many PI calls. And receivers calling for a penalty after they drop a catchable ball. Let the players play.

Not to mention that Wally used first round picks on two huge busts, Danny Watkins and Jamal Lee in consecutive years. For all of Joe Mack's issues, I thought his drafting was actually decent. Every thread? Every #?!¿¡ thread? Come on guys, can we at least keep the mack bashing/defending to the mack and /or draft threads... Smh. Nah, too much fun....

I remember a time when Canadians couldn't coach or manage in the CFL because it was felt they didn't have the right pedigree to do it. Sort of how we treat CIS qbs now. Cal Murphy was one of the pioneers as a Canadian HC & GM even though he spent the majority of his playing & coaching career in the US before he came to the CFL. He paved the road for guys like O'Shea & Walters.

Well, other than the bio I know nothing about him. Hope he is a good hire.

A decade ago the Rider franchise was a joke. Things change for the better & for the worse.... That fanbase will get there's someday. No one will feel sorry for them when they do. Except themselves.

Johnny Forzani had a devastating foot injury (broken foot & torn ligaments) that required a couple of surgeries that made him miss the last 1 1/2 seasons. He may never be the same. The kid had wheels. He could fly before the injury. His catching ability was improving as well but like I said his foot injury was a bad one. He tried coming back last season but it was setback after setback & he couldn't do it.

Tim Burke dumbed & numbed down every coach he had. And did the same to us as fans. As much as he was a great DC, he was a horrible HC.

It... was... painful.

Died with the CSL in the 80's.... People may want to go see Calgary play Winnipeg in CFL football but they don't give 2 hoots about Canadian soccer. They may want to see MLS though. I think the stadium needs another tenant.

Well, fans bitched when the BOD's leaked info to the media. Can't have it both ways.

Watched all 4 NFL Wildcard games & the ads we had to put up with were beyond description. Those bloody Mazda ads with Bruno Mars, (that go back to the start of the CFL season last July), the hideous McDonalds commercials (What???????) & the ads for the truck parts store.... My Gawd, it just never ended. CTV played those damned ads over & over & over. I live in Alberta & even I wanted the Travel Alberta ads to stop. At one point today, I just lost it this afternoon after seeing that stupid radio jock on the McDonalds commercials three times in a row. I don't know about you guys but it spoiled the games for me. I'm betting it did for a lot of people. As TSN & CTV are owned by Bell media, does this mean this is what watching the NFL in Canada will be like from now on?

The Bombers should be looking at having another anchor tenant at IGF. More dates the stadium being used & more revenue. I'm thinking Major Soccer. As much as I detest soccer...

The guy has never dressed for a CFL game in 3 years since being drafted... Not sure missing out on him is a big deal I want to know how talking about Jarious Jackson morphed into debating whether or not a hair clasp was ever a good QB coach? We could talk about the flu again if you want?

Well, Grumpy was there. I don't think he is now.

Other than a few posts over here he made many, many months agoI never see the guy around anymore. I don't think he actively posts on Our Bombers either. He was a mod there briefly after the breakup & this site was established. Seems to have disappeared. Just thought I'd ask.

Calgary's problem they have 2 leaders who don't know a football from a volleyball in Nenshi & Redford. Both love to spend taxpayers dollars but on things only they want.

Calgary needs to get off their asses and build a new stadium ASAP cause Mcmahon is really showing it's age. It may not be the worst one in the league at this point but it's not good either. You live in Calgary like I do. I don't get a sense that any new stadium is on the horizon. Do you?

Friesen did ask a couple of **** like questions at the O'Shea media conference a few weeks ago. Not good.

Five hundred H1N1 cases in Alberta with over 200 in hospital & I believe 5 deaths. Those are scary stats. Glad I got my flu shot last October.

Now, the only toilet bowl left is Mosaic Stadium. Give McMahon Stadium another decade & it'll be the crappola of the league.
