Man, I hope Brohm is back on the Bombers. I want to see more of him.

I'm aware. My point is outside of nostalgic reminiscing, reserved for guys like Mike Riley and Cal Murphy and a few select others, there have not been any coordinators that I can think of that have not been met with complaints from a not insignificant number of people. People argue that Lapo should have been fired on his first go-around as OC because in the second year the offence dropped to 4th in the league. 4th. The grass is always greener until it's planted on our yard. Whomever is hired is just going to be the next guy some people will demand we should fire. I don't know. Most of us didn't want Etch or MB in the first place. Now if someone like Cortez came here and **** the bed for a year and a half, then I would say ok to what you're saying.

Yeah, you're gonna get mediocrity. I'd like someone who can win, not just be average. Who was the last OC or DC that people didn't endlessly complain about? Etch was a bum. Burke was a bum. Reed was a bum. Marshall was a bum. Lapolice has been fired twice here. I don't believe the fans "liking someone" is something that will ever occur. Umm...there's different meanings for the word "like". My meaning was not that I need to like the person...as in "hey, he's a good guy". I just want him to be a winner, I could care less if I like the guy. I personally thought LaPo got a bum rap. I was not for that. Burke was a bum as a HC, not as a DC. My point is, we need winners here. You, me and everyone else is bitching about how we never get a Grey Cup. Well, then get us some coordinators who knows what they're doing, and bring in some decent players (which they've already started doing). Personally, if they hire a good DC, then I think that the OC position will be their only real weak spot. I mean, I'm sure there will be other smaller weak spots as far as players, but I think that the biggest one will be at OC. I think they're going to get the job done as far as bringing in players (I hope). They're keeping MB for the next season, so we have to live with that, but if we make it to the playoffs, it will probably be our defense that brings us there. Marcel's schemes will be figured out soon enough.

Both Etch and MB have been HCs Dont really see the difference on why it would matter to him now. Because both of them have proven that neither would come close to taking away anyone's job. So are you saying O'Shea brought in coaches that are kinda good but not that good? Cuz thats a pretty stupid way of going about hiring coaches that are supposed to help you win... No? No, I'm saying he was limited with his options. Not to mention I don't think many people wanted to come here.

2003 - 11-7 2004 - 9-9 2005 - 9-9 2007 - 8-10 2008 - 3-15 2009 - 9-9 2010 - 9-9 2011 - 8-10 2013 - 3-15 (only half a season) His choice for QB was also Boltus, whom he requested to have brought in. 2014 - 7-11 2012 - 6-12 HC So the only successful season he's had was the one where he was OC for the first time. He also thought Boltus was a good choice for QB. I don't care what anyone says. I'd prefer to have an OC who can get us farther then 9-9. That whole "I don't want Drew Willy to have to learn a whole new scheme" is BS. QB's are successful jumping from one team to another all the time, so why is Drew any different?

Differnet mcduffie. Mind.. Blown. Ticats is Quincy McDuffie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_McDuffie Ours is Sam McDuffie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_McGuffie Ours is actually Sam McGuffie. Geez MOAB you're on a roll today. It even says McGuffie in the link you posted. First you say static instead of ecstatic in the other thread...now this...ARE YOU DRUNK!?!?

I think the real question here is... who in their right mind is up at 4:16 am?!?!I'm in Punta Cana right now so it was actually at 6:16am What the hell are you doing on this site while you're in Punta Cana!?!?! GO DO SOMETHING FUN!!! Man, when I'm in Playa next month, I will NOT be posting here.... ...STOP APPLAUDING!!

stat - ic - lacking in movement, action, or change, especially in a way viewed as undesirable or uninteresting. Are you sure you wouldn't be jumping up and down with excitement? Damnit you stole my joke! Stupid Firefox froze up on me midway through posting!

I chose Hall, but I'd take Benevides too. The difference in my preference between the two is very minimal. Claybrooks is a rookie, so on one hand you're taking a chance, on the other he's had a lot of time getting to know how Stubler runs his D.

Yeah, you're gonna get mediocrity. I'd like someone who can win, not just be average.

Except that when you look at Marcel's track record...you start to see how things add up...to failure.

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? 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.

You're right. They should hire Doublezero. Hey Mike do you have anything football related to add to this thread - or is that outside of your area of expertise? I'll take Doublezero over Marcel at this point. Double nothing is better than nothing? - Silence is a true friend who never betrays. - Silence is better than unmeaning words. - Silence is one of the great arts of communication.

I'm surprised he didn't say something like "the weeping and gnashing of teeth". Gotta throw some biblical references in there to feel the gravity of the situation. HOW DARE THEY WAIT THIS LONG TO TELL US!!!!

They're actually living their lives and probably forgot about CFL. The very few of us that do care, are here on this board or another one.

Happy about getting a new DC, but at the same time...you know...yaaaaay, more two and outs on offense!

Coordinators are crap. Nuff said.

Someone who knows what they're doing.

We hang up the second we don't hear someone say hello on the other end. If there's any kind of delay it's an automatic hang up. I don't do any of those stupid survey's or listen to any of that crap.

Huh? We don't have any coaching vacanies. Are you sure? Does anybody actually know that? Bombers have kept us in the dark either way. Great fan engagement. Sounds like you've been drinking a big ol' can of:

If you're talking about what I said. It's because he's calling him Captain Sisco. The Captain from Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

Where's Noeller with the nerd gif?

Someone buy me something.
