The funny thing is Richie Hall is also getting in that territory from a Coordinator standpoint. It is going to be his 7th trip as a DC and DB coach and eight overall.

Summary:

The Atlantic Canada expansion is still in active discussion with a prominent individual, but it's to the point of fish or cut bait on that location. 

No mention at all of the Global program and whether progress is being made, or whether it will be soon be discontinued. 

The coaching cap will stay, as the league is satisfied with how it's helped control team spending on management salaries at the request of the CFLPA.

Ritchie Hall can be maddening at times with the bend but don't break stuff but my God when he's got the bodies to execute the man can get some great performances out of a defense. His ability to adapt in game is such a strength.

Having 3/4 of your away games in a short driving distance doesn't hurt either. I remember ex-Bomber Craig Newman telling me that the hardest part about away games is trying to sleep in the hotel the night before. He said you just never get a good sleep no matter what.

Hall has done pretty well since the Bombers flipped the ratio almost entirely to the offensive side of the ball a few years ago, with BOLO in for Schoen right now he has the luxury of playing with a single Natl., Redha Kramdi.

Forecast high of only +5 in Hamilton on Sunday, 30% of precipitation, wind 18 km/hr out of the NW gusting to 27.

Actually technically we could go all Import cause we would have 7 on offence with Bolo in for Schoen

I don't blame the players. They get a portion of the proceeds, so they obviously don't want teams spending too much dead money.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention just for SpeedFlex27, Ambrosie intends to hang on as CFL Commissioner at least until after you're dead.

I am sure grateful we have him as our DC rather than Etch a Sketch

The "question" wasn't asked........or is there another coaches scrum?

Looks like the question retired with Terry Jones' retirement.

I am surprised someone from 3rdDown didnt try to carry on the tradition.

Good. I always thought the “question” was really strange. “Hey, do your players pound their old lady the night before the game?”

It should grind the Riders butts that they threw away the wrong guy.
