Riders & Ticats with Austin & Burris spoiling the Rider parade.

Just for comparisons sake, Corey Chamblin didn't have a hell of a lot more coaching experience before he got the riders head job. 1 years as defensive coordinator and several as just a positional coach before that. Being a good coordinator really doesn't always translate into a head coach, there is a slightly different skill set required. I don't know if Khari has that skill set or not, but bottom line if they do hire him they better hire good people around him regardless of how good he is or isn't cause a rookie always needs a good supporting cast. I tend to agree with you but, Chamblin did have 3 solid years in the Stamps organization, I tend to believe that where you get your experience is sometimes more important than just years of service.

Montreal played .500 football after firing numb nuts and without AC......and Popp is a very mediocre HC.

4 years as a QB coach and 1 as an OC hardly equals a HC resume..........we know that Wade has great respect for Khari but, he really needs to stop and think about this.

And I would say the odds of that actually happening are slim to none with none already leaving the building. You're now blaming coaches from 3 years ago who are no longer around for the problem this year.........the same group who were good enough to get a 4 - 14 team to the Cup game the very next year.......give it a rest already.

Denmark was about to be benched for his poor play........was it a change of position, coaching or just a wake up call? It can be argued both ways.

Max Hall performed just well enough to come into a game when the starter goes down…no more. In other words…he's a backup. And... No consideration for the abysmal coaching? Those are not backup like numbers I posted for you, those are comparable to starter numbers. And if the coaching was so bad, why did his play improve along with Denmark, Ford and most of the offense? They rose to their level of mediocrity and no more, that has nothing to do with coaching and everything to do with mediocre talent plateauing.

Max Hall was pretty good in the previous 3 games before the season ending stinker, he had thrown for 865 yards, 5 TD's:1 INT and had QB rating of 97.93..........didn't really help much though. The problem is that the Bombers are not going to have a Hall of Fame QB at the controls, they surrounded a stable of mediocre QB's with more mediocre players and that is the real problem.

$4.4 - $4.0 for 2013 There is no ******* way the Bombers are a cap team and the only way I will believe that is when I see a list of every players salary on that team.

Well the difference between floor to ceiling in the SMS is like $400K, the average CFL salary is $83K, so I could sign some really decent players with $400K.

I'd like to hear from one of the tight-asses on the board, did they dictate how much money Mack had to spend on players and coaches, did he not have a choice and had to recruit the players he did, why didn't we have a full staff of coaches etc etc.

Worse than QB............

imo, you get what you pay for, players and coaches = 3 - 15, just what they deserved.

Muamba, Denmark, Kolhert....I'm sure there are others who improved too. Anyone who thinks this team had the horses to compete and was only held back by coaching is out to lunch.

Miller is about as blue & gold as they come, now he needs to surround himself with the right people or it won't matter.

Troy Smith looks like Warren Moon 2.0

Doug Brown said it best, When you are dependent on a near-capacity crowd to meet the particulars of your business plan and debt repayment schedule, clarity and optics are key as season ticket holders contemplate renewing. The team can not afford the optics of not firing him, so there is no 'what if'.

Neither has Chris Jones. He's been DC in Montreal, Calgary & Toronto. Then there's Argos HC Scott Milanovich who had AC as his qb along with Marc Trestman's system. Jim Barker's provided him with talent & he done well. That's all the Bombers have to do. Follow Toronto's lead & draft well & provide their new HC with talent... Oh wait. lol, for a minute there you had me.

For all those wanting Dickenson as HC, he has never had to handle adversity in his coaching career, Calgary has been a cake walk, just something to consider.

Great, now his price just went up again.

Potsie and Ralph

Chapdelaine HC Walters AGM Worman PP My franchise QB is Drew Tate and my 2nd overall pick is as high as I go on that deal but really I would break the bank to get him to show him he's wanted. I could care less about the expansion draft and protecting players with all the free agents on my roster, any combination of those already mentioned is fine. Finally, I target other teams free agents with an eye for NI oline, dline and receivers, and import receivers, linebackers and db's. Ideally, I want 4 players from free agency, 2 on O and 2 on D all starters.

I like some of Burgess's ideas and for now will throw out Jacques Chapdelaine as my HC hire. He, like Milanovich have significantly more coaching experience than Dave **** who isn't ready for this mess.

Going forward this team probably has less talent than any I have seen since we won our last cup in 1990.

I can't believe we finished worse than the Esks.......what a pile of suckage.
