Floyd Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Gary Lawless is reporting that Taman is getting close to firing Chamblin. Gary Lawless rarely misses on this stuff. Say what you want about his opinion on the rumour, but the info substantiating the rumour is rarely wrong. He doesn't put stuff like this out there unless he is damn sure. Mike Richards will be the new coach of the roughriders.
Brandon Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 So, after this fine season is over there should be some flotsam and jetsam from the sinking of the good ship Riders floating about for the taking. Anyone think Jacques Chapdelaine would be a good replacement at OC if the Bombers decide to part ways with Marcel? Any other coaches on the Riders staff worth considering? Not at all... he called bad plays in BC and against Edmonton it was mind boggling how bad his play calling was. I don't care what LaPo had to say about Edmonton stuffing the box.... to not run or utilize Allen or Messam for nearly 90% of the game was ridiculous. Suitor was damn near ready to trash the staff and held back after the first half when Lapo suggested why they didn't run. Absolutely atrocious play calling and do not want anyone coming from a loser program to join our team....
TBURGESS Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 I don't think changing HC's at this point in the season will do very much. Regina's still going to be working with their 3rd or 4th string QB both of which have very little experience. I'd take Benevides over PLAP and I'd still pull the trigger after the Argos game to give the new HC the bye week to make changes.
LeBird Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 If you go into the Daytona 500 driving a Corvair with only 4 out of the 6 gears working whether you get Bush or Gordon to drive the thing you will still come in last. And if your crew has a 800HP Hemi in the garage and refuse to use it then you deserve to lose. The guy who decided a passing game was the way to go should be the one on the block.

B-F-F-C Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Seriously! Bill Belichik couldn't turn this team around with these QB's. I don't feel sorry for Rider fans but we'd be royally screwed if we lost our #1 and #2 QB's. Just saying but please keep heaping on the manure. I love reading this thread.

It was hilarious listening to the broadcast and Suitor had to bite his tongue or he would have lambasted Chamblin for ignoring the ground game. You could tell he wanted to just go on a rampage but couldn't.
iso_55 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Suitor wasn't criticizing Chamblin. He was criticizing Chapdelaine for the lack of a run game.
Mr Dee Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 It's mind boggling that the game plan wasn't to run those two RB beasts. They did have a nice short game passing plan for Smith, but that should have complemented the running game. 6 rushes for the O-line to manage - 6....unbelievable.
iso_55 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 I know I keep bringing up John Chick but I'm shocked at how fast his game has regressed. To the point that if he ever was available for the Bombers, I wouldn't want him. The guy has become totally irrelevant as a player. He's just playing to get paid now & probably wondering when the gravy train comes to an end. Any rebuild would have to involve his release in order to get younger & take his contract off the books.

Is this not the perfect time to unload Brohm on Taman for a high draft pick and a promising practice roster player? He's desperate for QB help and Brohm is an experienced QB they need. basslicker 1
Fatty Liver Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 This scenario is reminiscent of how Lawless blew up the Bombers previous regime with a well timed leak. The desk fort will be scrambling come Tues. morning.
kelownabomberfan Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 This scenario is reminiscent of how Lawless blew up the Bombers previous regime with a well timed leak.

Tracker Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 If LaPolice chooses to join the circus in Regina, he deserves whatever he gets there. Unless Taman can pry Ray out of Toronto, with Glenn done for the year with a torn pectoral muscle, they will be lucky to win two games this year. No coach is going to change that. I remind people that Chick is an insulin-dependent diabetic with a subcutaneous insulin pump, and that has to catch up to him. And when it happens, it will probably come on quickly. He has done remarkably well well but his body is still stressed as an athlete. Mr Dee 1

Goalie Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 That d line should be better with hall who is invisible George who Is a beast and Chick who is still good. I think they are trying to get Chamblin fired.

The desk fort will be scrambling come Tues. morning. was that the one where he reported that Mack was being fired, and the board looked like idiots because they weren't releasing the news? Yah, I don't recall if Lawless leaked the Butchko firing at the same time or if his firing was related to the leak.
Fatty Liver Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 I was watching Chick last night. He was part of one sack but other than that was ineffective. How can the Riders justify paying his huge contract?? Because they gave Dressler, Getzlaf, and others huge contracts. Likely with the signature Taman back loaded contact leading to cap stress every year. If Taman leaves, he is leaving a mess. No worries, Taman will leave cartons of of unopened napkins behind to help clean up the mess.

Yah, I don't recall if Lawless leaked the Butchko firing at the same time or if his firing was related to the leak.Lawless didn't leak anything about Butchko and Butchko had nothing to do with the leak. Lawless made it clear it was a member of the BoD who leaked it to him.
iso_55 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Dressler is earning his salary returning punts & catches 7 or 8 passes a game. But Getzlaff & Bagg aren't worth the big bucks. They aren't dominating players & are aging. At least not anymore.
do or die Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Aging, overpaid vets....reminds me of a certain Bomber season. ..so for that matter, does 0-6.. Another season, featured a leak from BOD about Mack's firing Yet another, featured injury to QB's Riders really putting it together, this season..... Floyd 1
gbill2004 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Word in Riderville is one of the players will pour a bottle of liquid ex lax into Chamblin's pre-game coffee prior to next game, as his parting gift.
