How do they even hire an OC with the HC and GM on expiring contracts? Unless the guy is being hired to take over as the HC in a year…but man would that seemingly cause problems.

Migs for OC on minimum wage !

[Goalie]

How does the guywho put the teams oline together and signed Duke Williams to 275k stick around? How does the guy who lost control of the team keep his job also. 

 

Amazing

 

Now they can hire lapo tho as oc.. replace dickie 3 games in next year and name lapo coach and go 2 and 16

I don't get the LaPo love. He's a lousy HC. So why make him an Asst HC??

Because the cfl loves nothing more than recycling old trash. Especially when it comes to ocs. 

[Goalie]

I think sask has only a few options. When you are a **** storm and everyone knows it... it ain't easy bringing in players and coaches... don't believe me? Ask Joe Mack.

Which almost narrows it down to LaPo or Khari as their two choices, since they already fired Maas.

The next HC doesn't need to be someone who has already been an HC.

Over at Riderfans, there is a lynch mob forming. Several there who describe themselves as decades-long season ticket holders are preferring to pay a cancellation fee rather than renew.  Very few are even moderately OK with Dickenson and O'Day retaining their jobs. This is ugly already and gonna get uglier.

I have less problems with CD losing that room and keeping his job than O'Day, who delivered the trash and did nothing to help out the coach, keeping his job. 

But, I fully support their decision making.

To play devils advocate. In the coaches cap situation they are in. I can see how it's the correct choice. Give Dicky boy 1 more shot and if nothing improves I can see him and Oday gone after labour day.

Maybe...but if that's the mindset why wait and flush another season down the toilet, Take your football ops lumps for the season but get the ball rolling with the next guys. I guess it depends how much they are paying O'Daisy and Dickie though....knowing the RIders their salaries might be out of whack thus further handcuffing them.

He did start a thread saying the fans were not doing their part. I’m sure that would go over well in the media.

Paul Maurice had playoff level talent but clearly lost the room, so I’m not sure. 
 

Coaching was as big a reason as to why they didn’t make the playoffs as overrated talent. Get some accountability on that team and they were probably good enough to lose in the crossover. 

[Booch]

sure glad thats going on there...and no here.....and likely never again

[GCJenks]

Any idea what the fine/punishment is for going over the football ops spending limit? If it's less than 1/2 Million and a 1st round pick the BOG should go for it. The damage to trying to save that $$ will cost so much more from a lost revenue standpoint in the future. This is after all a business and success is measured two ways, Wins and Bottom Line. You can't maintain a positive bottom line with another season like they had. Saving a dime to lose dollars.

[Geebrr]

You should start every game down 14 points.

That can't be right. I was told over there that they are the most loyal, educated, and diehard fan base in the league that every other CFL franchise envies because no matter what they sell out every game. That is what makes them Canada's flagship sports team apparently. Wow....I am shocked by this. lmao

So no punishment at all then? They do that anyway just takes till mid 1st Q.

Riders 5th in the West next year.  Don’t care who they sign.

That's why this coaches cap brought in by Ambrosie is fricking insane. In prior years, all the coaches would have been fired.

I mean this with all sincerity: take a ******* bow, Ottawa. Well done.

[Booch]

yup....solid base there......no worries and they will be better attendance wise as I cant see them being worse at home

Blame SSK and Chris Jones

[Noeller]

Lame, because **** BC so very very much......but also this pushes Winnipeg back to (likely) '25, which means we need to try and maintain this quality play one extra year. Basically it means we need Collaros to maintain his level of play for an extra year....

 Yeah thought that we were pushing hard to get the 2024 Grey Cup. Oh well. We'll just have to win it in B.C.

[Arnold_Palmer]

Seems weird to me Hamilton gets it in 2021, and 2023..
