To be fair, Taylor was playing well right up to his injury. And at that age, and with the other guys on the roster, it's understandable why the Bombers did t bring him back. 

Yup...injury...age...cost...with young talent we had here already... someone had to go so was an easy one...but he was solid as solid could be for us his whole time here

And u know how much he loves it..and team loved him as after the stamps game here he came to our dressing room post game to hang out and visit with the boys

Which is all true. I’m not surprised he resurfaced in the league as much as that it was with Calgary.

Calgary loves vets.  They are really struggling to find guys of late.

TBurgess, you can roll your eyes all you want as I really have no interest in talking to you.

The story goes that Murray Edwards the owner wants to sell the team. He has no further desire to spend money on the Stamps. He won't authorize football ops get more money.

Murray edwards can go **** all the way off. The way they run sports teams in Calgary is embarrassing.

Someone who cares & not a billionaire using the Stamps losses as a tax write off.

Condell hasn't accomplished much as an OC.

I wonder if he'll resurface as an assistant coach elsewhere?

[JohnnyAbonny]

Not too long ago, Condell was one of the most sought after OCs around. Football cycles are odd.

if Sask was smart....which is pretty evident based on a whole pile of things they are not, they would bring him in there, even if as just an offensive consultant....as Jeffrey's is so out of his league it's not even funny

[TBURGESS]

I don't think it's Condell's fault. It's the level of QB'ing in Hamilton. When broke down BLM is the best you've got, your OC isn't going to look good.

That was my first thought too, but if you'll recall, they tried to bring in many other before Jeffries, but no one would accept the position. 

No one wants to sign on for a team that's going to fire everyone at the end of the year.

yeah thats the rub...Jeffreys was basically promoted from within as nobody wanted that job.....they got tired of guys not even wanting to waste their time even interviewing...so again...like their current HC....They settled....for someone with no business in that position.....and are what they are cause of it

Only if they get a better owner. It's been a crapshoot over there.

Condell is getting paid until the end of the year. No reason to go to another tire fire and risk his reputation even further.

He should. They went freewheel spending this offseason to make a home GC run. I doubt caretaker Bob will like them not even making the playoffs.

that and epic failures the last few seasons....a lot of it due to some poor coaching...and a big lack of discipline issues in a lot of instances that just havn't gone away....which falls again squarely at coaches feet

Been quite the change in Hammy since the 2019 season and taking "victory formation" reps in grey cup practice week... and I'm all for it!

Did they actually do this. Yikes. Thats bad juju. Almost as bad as the Ti-Cat fan drinking from the mini cup in the 4th quarter.
