Brady's contract runs out at the end of the year, so he is free to leave if he chooses to go for another opportunity. What's wrong his current situation I suppose is that he's under Milanovich's shadow. Brady has been play calling this season and bits of last season as well (called the Argos first game last season then took a backseat to Milo), from my understanding Milanovich can and does override the calls, especially if the offense is struggling or slow out of the gate. This season Milanovich has given more leeway to Brady though, due to Milanovich involving himself more in the other two phases of the game. The offensive game planning is still a collective effort (Himebauch also has some say), but it's still the Milanovich show in TO. Sounds like Brady has enough valid reasons to leave T.O. I'll jump on that boat. With all the fixes coming the Argos way next year I'd bet they still average well under 20,000 in attendance, as it could take them many years to fix the mess.

Walters is allergic to jerks and turds who can win football games.

All I’ve heard for three years is how no one wants to sit in minus-30 conditions for playoff games in CGY. Fair. I guess plus-10, too. — Scott Mitchell (@SUNMitchell) November 16, 2015 When the marquee franchise can't get 35k or so to a semi final their is something wrong Look back over the past couple decades and see how attendance was for semi-finals in both conferences. 26 is probably right around the median, maybe slightly above. For back-to back semis in 2002 and 2003, the Bombers drew 22,000 - 23,000. For the 2007 semi-final Bombers drew 23,000. BC, Edmonton and Calgary have never been know to draw great crowds for semi-finals either. Sasky was 3000 short of a sellout in 2013 for the semi. Seems like a reasonably fixable problem for the spiffy new commish. to solve...seriously. Makes no sense that attendance drops off for playoff games. To start with don't crank playoff ticket prices up above regular season prices and start the season 2-4 weeks earlier to keep the fair-weather fans interested.

No, I just don't paint entire groups of people with the same brush or justify treating entire groups of people differently because of certain individuals within that group. Well, terrorists & criminals are within that group you say we're painting so you can rage on. You can't change that. Most Canadians aren't against refugees coming here if they are screened properly so the criminal element aren't allowed in. Not just having the borders flung open so any Syrian refugee can come in. I'm sure this attack will heighten refugee scrutiny but they can't punish all refugees for the crimes of a few.

Wasn't he the propaganda minister for Adolf Hamster?

That is only an Assumption. This is a fan forum, and while some may have more knowledge then others. No one here really knows what goes on during meetings etc etc. If O'Shea was aware of these problems and still sat on his hands that long, does that make his status better or worse? Assuming he did nothing while seeing the issues that would obviously make his status worse. But again, there is no way of knowing either way. I'm hoping in his third year that O'Shea finally realizes that the hands off approach to any phase of this team does not work and that his coordinators are representing his best efforts. If the the individual coordinators are not achieving the desired goals he needs to get in there like a dirty shirt to correct the deficiencies asap. If it's personnel, he needs to honk Walters horn. If it's something in the scheme he sees that isn't work he needs to work with or over-ride the coordinator to get it on track. Can't imagine Huf. calmly watching one phase of his team lose games week after week without taking prompt action to correct it. In the case of MB, if Buck or Howell or Wylie had contributions to make they should have been implemented and tried whether MB liked them or not. No excuse to trudge through a full season watching bad reruns of the same ole **** show week after week.

..... what? The offense was by far the biggest sore spot on the team and you don't think the OC should have been taking the fall? Come on now Iso, I know you want to fire everyone and blow it all up but the offensive coordinator wasn't a fall guy on this team, he was a guy needing to be fired. We know O'Shea is a good coach because the STs got a lot better when he got more involved and we know players have said they came here because of him. Why fire a guy like that when he has been hampered by a shitty offense for which he fired his offensive coordinator? You need to give people chances to rebound or improve but you seem hell bent on firing people for the first mistakes which doesn't work in the long run. I count at least TWO mistakes. 2014 2015

Hope you're not one of those Cotton pickerers, I don't like them guys.

The Republicans already know the Bush name will keep them out of the White House forevermore.

The gf and I have been doing that kind of collecting and decorating our house with a lot of it. She loves collecting growlers from different places and other signage. 17to85 says we're immature and the house looks like a frat but we enjoy it! *waves at dave* Yer lucky the GF puts up with it now but once she starts thinking about kids her "taste" will change, guaranteed.

Area 51 is still promoting that Westerman is a bust over on the Rider Forum.

Westerman will get short-shifted imo. If you look at his total numbers, sacks, tackles, tackles for losses and hurries he put up total numbers that are rarely seen by a D lineman in one season.

One things for certain, we're living in the golden age of Canadian beer, there has never been so much choice. Hard to believe 25 years ago Canadians were basically restricted to the products of 2-3 breweries. Harder to believe now, every time I get in line to pay for beer invariably the guys in front and behind me have cases of Bud. On a scale of good beer, Bud has always fallen into the piss-poor strata. Goes to show the power of marketing overwhelms the power to think with one's brain.

.What is a runners physique? Has legs... is capable of moving them... Best if there are two and they are of equal length.

Sad that the Bombers wasted a good chunk of the season playing Lin J Shell at safety, he stole reps. from players with a future who could have provided flexibility to the ratio. They continually choose vet. place-markers over developing new talent, Romby and Kuale in 2014, Shell and Peach in 2015.

Just wait for the day the RB's cut him, Jovon will run that organization down too. It's just his style.

Miller won't do that with MOS. He'll earn every penny win or lose. I can't imagine the pressure that poor guy will be under next season. Ever worked at a job where you know that your firing is an inevitability? I have & it's a terrible situation. Except his firing isn't inevitable. Seems to be the tiny detail missing from your theory. He wins, he stays. So what record will O'Shea have to achieve next year to earn another contract? 9-9? 10-8? Surely it must be better then .500.

Dyce has been an interim HC so he's not going to accept a position as a receivers coach or offensive assistant. Apparently he is very good at scouting and evaluating Cdn. talent, so that would be a bonus he could add to the club.

What a load of crap. How do you uncover new coaches if you don't even give them a chance. If they deserve it of course. If everyone thought like you than we wouldn't have up an coming coaching talent like Jason Maas, Dave Dickenson or Marcus Brady. The same can be said for current coaches like John Hufnagel and Kent Austin. If Buck Pierce has the right aptitude and smarts. Why not? Same goes for Marcus Howell. A guy like Pierce has worked one on one with many different OC's over his college and pro career. I'm sure he's picked something up over those years. Absolutely right.The new guys that have been given chances, on both sides of the ball, (ex. Thorp, Maas, Brady, Condell) have shown well, either through an extension of their coaching staff, or completely on their own. How will we ever see new ideas besides the old X's and O's, if we don't seek out new thinking? Fresh offensive ideas, as yet not tried. The RedBlacks no huddle offence, as opposed to our stale no offence huddles. A "keep them guessing on D offence", as opposed to our "we know what you're going to do playbook". How about fresh and new as opposed to stale and re-cycled. I remember a quote from a defensive player when they were done thrashing our offence. He basically said "we knew exactly what they were going to do". That's basically been our Offensive scheme...for years. Unfortunately, O'Shea won't be able to go where no man has gone before, because he's got to hire that "name" and hopefully get it right this time. It's better to give rookie assistants a chance in a winning organization, the Bombers are in no position to gamble at this time.

The one good thing I take from O'Shea's end of season presser is that he fully understands that he gets the final say on his OC and that if he makes the wrong choice on this one it will eventually cost him his job. Hopefully a number of good candidates spring free from other teams after the GC as the list of well-qualified replacements is extremely small.

Turns out Harper wouldn't have been able to balance the budget after all. Wish somebody had the balls to put the GST back to 7% as originally calculated, that made economic sense at the time and still does. What the PBO report means for the Trudeau government's spending plans Just one week after taking over the ship of state, the new Liberal government has had its first peek in the engine room and there are signs of smoke. To judge by a report released Tuesday by the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the outgoing Harper government was unduly optimistic in its forecasts and estimates. The Canadian economy continues to face strong headwinds, from both sluggish global demand and stubbornly low oil prices. The PBO is now predicting the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude will increase slowly to about $59 by 2020. In the last estimates, produced in April, the same barrel of oil was forecast to be worth about 10 per cent more over that period. The low price of oil and other external factors have combined to slash the PBO's economic growth forecast for this year to 1.1 per cent from 2.1 per cent. The Canadian economy is now forecast to produce $32 billion less income next year than had been anticipated in the last forecast, published in April. National income for 2017 will be $43 billion less than expected. Surplus a mirage All of that suggests that the Conservatives' heralded return to a budgetary surplus was in fact a mirage that could not have been achieved without the one-time sale of government-held shares in General Motors early in the first quarter. For each of the next five years, the PBO projects fiscal deficits averaging $4.3 billion a year. However, those deficits don't include the Trudeau government's spending plans. They are the deficits that would have occurred under the budgeting of former prime minister Stephen Harper, if his government had remained in office. A crimp in Trudeau's plans? The Liberal government has committed to a major infrastructure spending program, designed in part to stimulate the economy. In its campaign platform, the party announced that "with the Liberal plan, the federal government will have a modest short-term deficit of less than $10 billion in each of the next two fiscal years." That plan was built on earlier estimates that saw the federal Conservative government returning to surplus in 2015 and staying in the black over the next few years. Under that scenario, the whole of the deficit the Liberals planned to run would have been available for new stimulus spending or other priorities. Under the new forecasts, it now seems that nearly half of that deficit is already spoken for, even before counting any new spending. For Liberal Finance Minister Bill Morneau, it suggests that if he wants to keep the deficit within the $10-billion bounds promised in the Liberal Party platform, the amount of money available for infrastructure spending has been cut almost in half. One reason for the government's worsening fiscal situation is that the PBO based its forecast on the Conservative government's commitment to cut Employment Insurance premiums starting next year from $1.88 per $100 earned to $1.44. The Liberal government also plans to cut EI premiums, but by only about half as much. That means the loss of revenues will not be as great as it would have been under the Harper plan. Still, there will be less money available than the incoming government believed based on previous estimates. Options include bigger deficits What to do about that reality now becomes a political question on which the Liberals have two options. One is to shrink their spending plans, in order to keep the deficit under $10 billion. That will mean fewer new bridges, fewer new green jobs and fewer dollars for transit and housing projects. The other option is to declare that the economy and budget they inherited from the Harper government are in worse shape than they thought and that their deficits will therefore need to be bigger. Conservative MP Tony Clement, who served as Treasury Board president in the previous government, said in a statement Tuesday that the Liberals need to tell Canadians how they will respond to the downturn. "We want to know how the Liberals will avoid falling deeper into the fiscal hole," Clement said in the release. "Our concern as Official Opposition remains that the shortfall will be made up through the pocketbooks of hard-working Canadians using tax hikes on their paycheques, removal of benefits they rely on and cutting services they need." Morneau acknowledged the PBO report Tuesday, but said he he couldn't say much more until he's more fully briefed, noting he has been in the job for just six days. However, he did say that the more pessimistic numbers in the PBO report reinforced the government's view that the spending outlined in the party's election platform is needed. "Our platform talked about significant investments and infrastructure, investments that we believe will help us to enhance growth, investments that we see will have the possibility of creating jobs, and investments that will enable us to improve the lives of Canadians across the country," Morneau told reporters. "So, this really does reinforce for us the need for our platform, one that we think will make an enormous difference." Morneau said he expects to deliver a fiscal update before the end of the year.

Condell follows Austin wherever he is. Cant see him leaving the Ti-Cats. Actually, Brady kinda the same thing with Millanovich. Condell isn't that young and his chances of getting Austin's job anytime soon are slim. He's definitely worth an inquiry. He was a ST for Wpg. in '97 so he obviously knows and loves the city and all of it's fans.

Marcel has himself a long track record in the CFL and it's not that pretty. Mediocre at best and consider this, when he was OC in Montreal people thought Calvillo was washed up because he was taking an awful lot of sacks... Marcel gets canned and Montreal is giving up less sacks and Calvillo goes on to have several more highly productive years. Bellefeuille is not a good offensive coordinator and yes there is likely more wrong than just him, but he's a big problem and probably the biggest problem. Just to be sure they get rid of all possible causes I would be happy if Bob Wylie also shuffled off into the sunset along with his assistant.

Rocks and trees and any other natural resource we can provide them with that will feed their manufacturing sectors. There is nothing we can manufacture that they could afford or would ever need.

I think Chapdelaine can be stolen from Sask., with a new regime coming in Sask. at least the Bombers can offer him more stability in the short term. His O was in the upper half of the league in most categories and that speaks volumes considering what he was working with.
