No comment." He would be an extremely good hire for the Riders so I hope they don't get him.
pigseye Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Both Jones & Milanovich are ready to be GM/HC's, sure hope we can get one someday.
Mr Dee Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Congratulations to the UBC Thunderbirds who played an outstanding game to defeat the defending Champion Montreal Carabins. What a game! Michael O'Conner is a very good QB. He's going to make his mark in the CIS. Two great games this weekend!! .*~*~*~ Vancouver Province - It was Vanier Cup euphoria for first year quarterback Michael O'Connor, kicking ace Quinn van Gylswyk and the rest of the underdog University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. The 19-year-old O'Connor passed for 389 yards and van Gylswyk's fourth field goal with no time left was the game-winner as UBC edged the defending champion University of Montreal Carabins 26-23 in a thrilling Vanier Cup final on Saturday afternoon.

blueandgoldguy Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Why would the Esks give him permission to talk to the Riders? How many more years does he have on his contract? Just say no to the Riders and give Chris an asst. GM position to tide him over for next season.
The Unknown Poster Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 #BreakingNews: #CFL Buono's back. @BCLions
bearpants Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 #BreakingNews: #CFL Buono's back. @BCLions I just jumped over here to see if there was a thread on this... Tedford out, Buono back on the sidelines...
Noeller Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 God I hope this completely blows up in Buono's face.... Floyd, bigg jay and sweep the leg 3
sweep the leg Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 God I hope this completely blows up in Buono's face.... I'd love to see how on the sidelines for a 3 win season. Can't stand the guy. Noeller 1
TBURGESS Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 I think this makes BC a better team now that they only have one voice from above. It also explains why Wally wouldn't let other teams talk to his coaching staff. I'll bet Wally wants to keep most of them.
Noeller Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 The arrogance on that man is tough to stomach. A 3 win season would look real good on him.
sweep the leg Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 O'Shea will be the longest tenured head coach with any team in the West this season.
Noeller Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Also of note: Jon Cornish making it official today with retirement announcement presser scheduled for this afternoon.
wpgallday1960 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Would it be premature to consider Andrew Harris a lock to sign with the WBB now that Wally is HC & GM?
bearpants Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Also of note: Jon Cornish making it official today with retirement announcement presser scheduled for this afternoon. Good for him... I'm not happy the CFL is losing the best Canadian RB to ever play in the league... but clearly his injuries are taking a toll so I'm happy to see he'll stop playing while he is still in good health...

bearpants Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Would it be premature to consider Andrew Harris a lock to sign with the WBB now that Wally is HC & GM? I thought it was Tedford he didn't like?... though he did complain publicly about the contract he was offered...

I thought it was Tedford he didn't like?... though he did complain publicly about the contract he was offered... Could be - I was going off the contract dissatisfaction. Beneviedes & Wally did make good use of him, so hopefully he isn't too worn out.

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Personally I don't think Andrew Harris "finishing off his career" at home is worth top dollar. Wally has fired two head coaches now and if I was an assistant I wouldn't feel too safe there. It's never gonna be Wally's fault after all.
DR. CFL Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Why do people want to be HC and GM? Because if you do both there are no discussions or disputes about personnel. It is that simple. So it will be interesting to see if Chris Jones goes to Sask for that reason and see how Huff and Dickerson transition into their new roles.
Mike Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Tedford out in BC, Cortez soon to follow. And no, we don't want Cortez. The game has passed him by.

It's never gonna be Wally's fault after all. NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports 47m47 minutes ago Look for #BCLions to announce soon that OC George Cortez is no longer with the team.. IMO, we should not be thinking about bringing Cortez here. We need a creative younger mind, not a grumpy over the hill old man. Mr Dee 1

IMO, we should not be thinking about bringing Cortez here. We need a creative younger mind, not a grumpy over the hill old man. And yet Doug Berry's name continues to surface. I agree but O'Shea's history has been to go with the established guy so it would not shock me.
johnzo Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Before you write off Cortez, look at the other candidates .. Jones has zero track record as an OC and Lapo's a retread with only one good year as an OC, back in 2009. Cortez had an insane offence in Hamilton as recently as three seasons ago ... led the league in scoring with zero support from his Casey Creehan defense. (GC was the OC of that team as well as the HC) Who out there is better than Cortez? (edit, yeah I missed that Khari had a couple years as an OC, Hamilton in 2011 and BC in 2014. Still think that Cortez has shown way more than him.) Fan Boy 1
