M.O.A.B. Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Don't like it at all. Despite the struggles I was at 4 Bomber road games this year. I was planning at least 3 next year. That plan is now at 0. This just feels like they aren't trying, and if they aren't trying, I'm not spending money. With that said, I hope I'm wrong and we have a legitimate offense next year, but I'm not expecting it. So who do you think they should hire?
Mr Dee Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I do wonder what fans would be saying a month from now, what with there being several OC openings, if we didn't get the most experienced OC guy out there, and we had to scramble? Hey, they had LaPo signing the contract at LaPo's house, so that means they went hard and fast after the man.
sweep the leg Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I have no confidence that Lapo can put together a quality offense without Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts, Mike Sellers, Arland Bruce, etc..... His offense scored the 2nd most points in the league in 2009. He'll be fine. blitzmore 1
iso_55 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I'm willing to give LaPo a chance. Maybe his forte is being an OC instead of a HC. I usually criticize everything that Walters & O' Shea do. Not this time though. I think Paul & Drew will work well together. Looking forward to see how they do. Blue-urns, blitzmore, Mark F and 1 other 4
sweep the leg Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I'm happy with this hire. We got worse both times he got fired. Be nice to hopefully see him work with some real talent again. Mr Dee, Blue-urns, blitzmore and 2 others 5
wbbfan Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I have no confidence that Lapo can put together a quality offense without Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts, Mike Sellers, Arland Bruce, etc..... considering how bad the offence was the last year he had those guys im scared.
rebusrankin Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Yay, we go for the easy/buddy hire again.
Mr Dee Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 gary lawless gary lawless – Verified account @garylawless O'Shea told me a while back he wasn't scared to hire a HC in waiting as OC. Thinking was hire best guy and win, keep job @Wpg_BlueBombers 4:38 PM - 7 Dec 2015 Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB I'm not an I told you so guy--BUT--been telling you on 680cjob for weeks that a vastly more experienced lapolice would be bombers OC. blitzmore 1
Booch Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 some of these posts are laughable. He was the most qualified and experienced guy available. The rest were/are unknowns and lacking experience. Heck..let's give Maas a few more consecutive years of success to say we say he is so great. He came out of know where and truth be told was reaping the rewards of all the guys on his squad having career years together and the fact had zero injuries all year long to affect his offence. And when it came down to it in the playoffs they got pretty much shut down and he had no answers. Lapo has had years now since he was a sole OC and you can be assured he has progressed and learned and knows what didn't work and what does. He has spent the better part of two years now dissecting and analyzing defenses and how offences should attack, and what offensives shouldn't do based on looks. He has come a long way and it is noticeable from what he is saying. He is going to build a very competent attacking offence and the naysayers will be put to rest. He is the best available option and we got aggressive and grabbed him. Well done if you ask me voodoochylde, Blue-urns, the watcher and 4 others 7
Mr Dee Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Ok, it's Friesen...but this is good - Rumour has it Paul LaPolice will be at the news conference announcing his hiring tomorrow, but not allowed to speak. #Bombers. — Paul Friesen (@friesensunmedia) December 8, 2015 IC Khari, Blue-urns and TBURGESS 3
Bomber Diehard Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Paul will be a good one now get him a QB and a OL. We got to get a couple QB's.
wbbfan Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Paul will be a good one now get him a QB and a OL. We got to get a couple QB's. When did we get an OL? he sucked it up with khari jones too...
Nolby Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Paul will be a good one now get him a QB and a OL. We got to get a couple QB's. we have a qb who had a lousy coordinator, we have the building blocks for a good oline. Blue-urns 1
NotoriousBIG Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Pleased with the hire. I think he's the best guy realistically available. Its just sad that Walters can't find players.
M.O.A.B. Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I still want K.Jones here as QB coach, if it's possible. And Bob Dyce as ST coordinator. Jaxon and Floyd 2
Logan007 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 What's with all the losers out there saying "now that we've got our OC we need to get a QB"? Been reading that all over. How dumb are people to think Willy is not a great QB? comedygeek, Mr Dee, Blue-urns and 4 others 7
Super Duper Negatron Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I actually...like this? Blue-urns and comedygeek 2
Logan007 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I still want K.Jones here as QB coach, if it's possible. And Bob Dyce as ST coordinator. That would be great. Not sure if Khari would come here just to be a QB coach though.
AKAChip Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I think my biggest issue with this hire is that the upside is essentially nil. A guy his age doesn't change drastically enough to suddenly become a playcalling wizard. The thing that makes me even sadder is there is all this young coaching talent around the league, (Steinhauer, Maas, Jackson, Brady, Dickenson etc) and I honestly can't remember the last time the Bombers had an innovative young coach that other teams wanted to poach. Was it Creehan? Yuck. rebusrankin 1

Blueballz Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Surprised he didn't get the assistant HC title ..yet

Mr Dee Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 LaPolice made ten professional visits during his time away and continued to improve his playbook @Wpg_BlueBombers @cfl — gary lawless (@garylawless) December 8, 2015 This has got to be great news for Drew Willy.

Floyd Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I don't mind this... maybe Khari will end up as QB coach
