SpeedFlex27 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Avon Cobourne has left to pursue other interests outside of football. Thanks for sticking it out, Avon. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/01/bombers-running-backs-coach-avon-cobourne-parted-ways/ Edited April 1, 2017 by SpeedFlex27
Stickem Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 I don't think there's that much that Avon could have imparted to Harris that he doesn't already know....adios Cobourne
Jesse Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 I like having former CFL players as part of the coaching staff. So I really liked it when they picked him up and am a little disappointed that we wasted that developmental coaching time with him.
SpeedFlex27 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Posted April 1, 2017 I think they'll bring a guy in. At least that's what the story implies.
Dr. Blue Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 I like the idea of former CFL players in positional coaching roles. One name that popped into my head right away was Chad Kackert.

He's never coached at that level before as well as he's in his late 50's or early 60's. There's much more qualified candidates out there. Edited April 1, 2017 by SpeedFlex27 The Classic 1

If you don't have ideas, then don't criticize other peoples ideas. Reaves can clearly motivate athletes, knows the game and lives in Winnipeg.. or maybe he left, I don't know....either way, I think he's a good candidate. Edited April 1, 2017 by Floyd

If Reaves was interested in coaching he would have started years ago. I trust O'Shea and Walters to find a suitable replacement. Edited April 1, 2017 by Jacquie The Classic 1

wbbfan Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 Its a good position to groom a coach at. Id say either invite a coach to camp and if things go well offer them a position. If not buck can double, or it can be included in another spot. RBs dont really need their own coach in the cfl. We went soo long with out a qb coach which is much worse. Either a WR/rb coach to allow plop to be oc and assistant qb, and buck be qb and assistant oc, or a former player type would be good. Having 3 offensive coaches one being the oc is a bit limited.
kelownabomberfan Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) what's Bloi-Dei Dorzan doing these days? I'd like him as a coach just so I get to say "Bloi-Dei Dorzan" again. Edited April 2, 2017 by kelownabomberfan bearpants, IC Khari, wbbfan and 2 others 5

SpeedFlex27 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Posted April 2, 2017 They could go to the CIS for a position like this. Noeller and wbbfan 2

Dee Urban Hermit Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 Just a side thought, but I wonder how much the Canadian Dollar and the taxes play in these decisions.
