1000% imo. Stadiums make teams soft. Cal vs bc in bc is a soft game on top of that. Either one here in the west final is a dandy walking into a nasty bar room brawl.

dickensen had 13/5 record first season, and winning record second season.

there are coaches with worse records who probably  will keep their job.

One more year!  One more year!  One more year!

It was all stuff out of their control! 10 year extensions for everyone!

He mentions how the Stumps didn’t help them, yet they couldn’t beat Hamilton the week before to help themselves.

One of my favorite non-bombers.  Will always remember his ludicrous catch in overtime during the 2010 season opener.

After reading that article it almost sounds like he's hinting that little brother should do him a favour and throw a game (or two).

the best part is it doesn't even matter... since Hamilton controls the final playoff spot now.... if Hammy wins both against Ottawa, doesn't matter what Sask does, they're out

I watched that repeatedly after thinking the same thing.  His elbow looks to land just inbounds… or close enough that it wouldn’t be overturned by the current cc (theoretically).

[Super Duper Negatron]

Why the hell is he talking about the offseason before the season is even over? What a suck hole.

His season is over and that's basically all he has shown he's capable of caring about

I am deeply saddened to hear that the Riders are moving on from Fajardo.

[greenrider55]

That interview is just who Cofaj is… self centred, me first, etc. 

Fine can’t do worse than him. The season is over so it doesn’t really matter, may as well see what we have.

I'm surprised by this. The Riders are still in the hunt for a crossover playoff spot. To me, Fajardo is a better qb than Mason Fine. He's inexperienced & has only started what, one game? I don't think he'll play any better against the Stamps than Fajardo would have. If Dickenson is looking for Fine to be a difference maker, it won't happen.

This is why the Riders are who they are & why changes need to be made from the GM down to the HC. If the Riders were out of a playoff spot, I'd agree & say sure give Fine the start. But in this situation, with a playoff spot on the line why make a change? Strange timing. As much as all of you hate Fajardo, I think he still is their best option at qb to win.

He can and he most likely will. Mason Fine hasn't done **** all year and hasn't shown me anything that would lead me to believe he will come in and beat Calgary. Fajardo isn't good but Fine will be worse.

Unless Dickie got this suggestion from management he is basically saying he doesn't want to be head coach of the Riders next year.

Thinking this came down from O'Day. Another reason the Riders are what they are.

It bothers me every time TS shows the Top X catches in the CFL and that one has consistently been at number 1 for that reason.  I thought at the time and every other time I've seen it that his elbow landed on the line out of bounds before his feet touched.

CD is a bad coach but O'Day has provided him nothing. They need to dump everyone from the GM and up, then let the new Board, President and GM to decide his fate.
