Buck would make more sense after he decided not to leave after ‘22 and ‘23, might feel more ready now… plus has ties to the Lions organization.

Could be, I certainly wouldn’t be shocked. It just seems way early for it to be a foregone conclusion.

Apparently he auditioned for the Rider HC job and was turned down, so his ego would have smarted after that. Ergo. with his connections to the Beastly Lions, he would be interested in the HC job out there. Despite some of his very questionable calls as OC here, he has served us well and thus I do not begrudge him this opportunity.

For sure, I think every coordinator has made their share of questionable decisions here and there, but you’d have to think Buck is up next.

I sure hope you’re right.

According to TSN this afternoon, the speculation is Campbell stays as BC coach but maybe loses his GM role or Ridgemaiden is made Co-GM. All this talk of Buck leaving could be a moo point.

Shuffling the same management after a bad season doesn’t usually work. Just muddies the waters and creates more conflict. 

I’d laugh pretty hard if they had to clean house and rebuild again after they got crowned so early by the media this year.

Status quo for most part out there works for me

That would make sense. I feel like the gm market will be tougher than coaching. 
 I think Chucking Campbell entirely or as coach makes the most sense but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen. If you don’t replace him with proven winning hc a guy like buck makes sense. 
 That said maksymic has to be on the way out now. But with out a bigger label it’ll be hard to get an oc whose proven. 
 

I think buck has a good shot in Ottawa too.

It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. 

It's moo.

I think it'll be tough for buck to leave winnipeg with a home grey cup next year.

After next year I think all bets are off. But I'd be surprised if he went anywhere
