TICATS Vs Rodblacks live stream - NOW!

Campbell might be a great coach.  He might be a really bad coach.  Until the Desjardins factor is removed from the equation, it's a near-impossible assessment to make.

[Jacquie]

 

I don't t think the lack of on field successes representative of the coaching.

I'm not a Redblack expert, but the coaching seems fine to me.

Desjardins will fire whoever it takes to keep his job.

 

Like that hasn't been said before about every GM of a losing team in every professional sport.

[USABomberfan]

To some degree, lack of on the field success can always be placed on the coaching staff because they are the ones responsible for player development, and so far I don't think Campbell and co are cutting it in that department.  Burke didn't either, now he too had a bad GM he had to work with, but he was not properly developing young players into professional ones like his counterparts had, and that's something you can't just let a guy off the hook for just because the GM is sub par.

 

Now if Mr Desjardins is messing around with the coaching staff and causing problems off the field by meddling around making it difficult for Campbell to do his job, then ok, maybe you cut Campbell some slack if that's the case, but all reports I've ever read on this subject are that Campbell alone is calling the shots in that department.

 

I also look at the fact that they went out and grabbed a bunch of WRs to fix the problem they had last year with all those dropped passes that plagued them and with all those moves they've been making over the offseason, logically those should translate into more wins, and if they don't, I'd say the fault lies with the coach's inability to develop cohesion on that team more so than a GM who isn't proactively making moves to help the team.

 

Year 1, ok they're an expansion team just getting started and people have to know they don't know completely what they got yet so you just roll with it and don't make any drastic moves other than firing Mike Gibson.  Year 2 though, you go out and sign those players specifically to address those glaring needs, like a GM should do, it's up to the coach now to do the rest.

 

Who knows, it's early, maybe the Redblacks will exceed expectations and win at least 7 games, but if not Campbell should and will be fired Desjardins or not.

Considering there will be at least 3 head coaches candidates - Benevidez, Millanovich and LaPolice - that will be available next off-season that are arguably better than Rick Campbell,

I'll say the Ottawa will fire him at the end of the season.

 

And who knows Trestman might be available too.

 

What do you know about Millanovich leaving T.O.?

Well, I know what that roster looks like, and the fact that they don't have Ray for a considerable chunk of the season.....

Kinda funny I was just thinking of Trestman today, and I actually think this time his time in Oakland will actually go well, he actually is a household name there as he was also the offensive coordinator there when Rich Gannon was QB and had a lot of success on offense.  Plus now he's working with Del Rio who's a pretty respectable guy and Derek Carr the QB he's working with now is a guy who listens to his coaches and learns the game, not an idiot like Jay Cutler who was and is still a disease on that Bears team.  I know the Raiders have been known as the NFL's gutter team but I think they got the people there now who actually do have a great chance to make that team good including Trestman.

Trestman was hired by the Ravens.

Dohh, musta misread that thing cuz of what i was thinking of with the Raiders.

 

But there again, very good situation for him, Harbaugh (John) is a good coach and Flacco has a superbowl mvp trophy to boot along with his sharp QB skills, so I definitely think he landed in about as good a situation as he could've hoped for.  Plus if there's any good omen for Trestman to take comfort in, the last 2 ravens' offensive coordinators (Jim Caldwell and Gary Kubiak) were also fired from their previous head coaching jobs, but after good showings in Baltimore, were hired again by other teams, so Trestman just might get another shot at head coaching again.

HAM QB Matthews looked eerily similar to Quinton Porter in looks and style but hopefully not the same future. Grigsby stunk.
