I'm not sure but i think Lawless is on the fence on Etch.

That's not how I read the article.  I think its clear Lawless wants Etch gone, but he's on the fence on whether O'Shea will pull the trigger or whether loyalty will get in the way.

Etcheverry's defence was terrible and was as big a reason as any for the Blue Bombers plummeting from an early 5-1 record to an unsatisfactory 7-11 finish. Likely the biggest.

 

 

Haha Gary Lawless is a *****.

Haha Gary Lawless is a *****.

I actually agree with Lawless here for once.

[Mark F]

so, when Lawless  and you agree, he's actually pretty good?

 

 

I wonder if Etchevery thinks the Free Press and 1290 should fire Lawless?

[Tracker]

Lawless have once again demonstrated his wisdom by pointing out the obvious as well as the majority opinion on Etch. The real question is whether O'Shea will do the obviously right thing or show  what has been a worrisome character trait by keeping on with what ain't working. It might be even worse if O'Shea ties the can to Etch but resents the heck out of everyone (fans and management) for forcing him to do it.

[TBURGESS]

I agree with getting rid of Etch and I believe O'Shea will have a hard, if not impossible, time pulling the trigger.

[Bigblue204]

MB is the larger issue.

[Bigblue204]

Also, **** lawless

Why? And your reasons can't involve "fat" or "bald".

Maybe but etch isn't paid to provide an opinion on Lawless' work.

Because the offense was a far bigger reason for the wins falling off.... and special teams giving up as many return tds as they did were more of a problem than the defense as well. I have pointed out in other thread there were maybe only 3 games where the defense didn't give the team a chance to win. stating that the defense was likely the biggest reason for the wins going away = straight up ********. 

[gbill2004]

How much influence do you guys think Walters and Miller will have on this decision, whether Etch stays or goes? I'm sure Miller has an opinion and I know he's a "hands on" CEO.

Even though I'm in agreement that Etch should go, that GL is still an embarrassment to the word "Journalist".  Sorry but his titles really suck and he needs to learn how to actually write some grammatically coherent articles.  What he needs to learn is that it may be okay to talk colorfully on the radio, but when you put out articles, this kind of stuff is high schoolish.

Gary doesn't write the titles, his editor does.

Everybody who is a CFL fan & especially a Bomber fan knew this scenario with Etch's defenses would happen. If MOS sticks with the guy it'll be the beginning of the end for him as a HC. The optics of keeping the worst DC in the CFL around for another season is bad optics for a Bomber team that needs to sell positivity to the fanbase. We don't need a stubborn HC. We need a HC who will do what is necessary to win & make the tough decisions. Etch has to go. There, I just summarized Lawless's article...

Then he should tell him to fix them so his newspaper isn't a stain on the city of Winnipeg.

In this case, Lawless is absolutely right. Turn up heat on MOS & the Bombers. That's fine with me. Something has to be done.

Yea Lawless seems to have quite a bit of influence when it comes to the Bombers.

[Stickem]

Don't often agree with Lawless but he's bang-on with this one. Etch. is an anchor that O'Shea better shed before it's too late. I'm sure it will be hard to part with an old friend but this is football where the name of the game is win. Mike will have to have a meeting with Gary and with a tear in his eye say ' sorry old buds this just isn't going to fly'. The natives are restless to the point of revolt and they're looking your way and also in the direction of Marcel. Mikes call ....and if nothing is done...will it remain that way??

Two grown men gonna have a cry together. Nice. I hope bluebombers.com carries a live stream.

[iso_55]

The POINT IS... Etch has to go. It's pretty obvious to everyone... It better become obvious to MOS or his HC job may turn into just a 2 year gig. If Etch is retained & that defense stays like it is now next season then Etch won't be the only one who will get fired. 

[Nolby]

I hope the Argos can Milonovich and the Bombers pick up him for O.

[pigseye]

Lawless hit the nail right on the head this time. MB at least had an excuse with all the injuries and declining QB play he got. What was Etch's? Sweet FA.
