900 goals for Ovi is simply incredible.

Last post by theaardvark - November 06, 2025, 03:59:50 PMA Walters/MOS move to Toronto would be a great move for the league. It would give Toronto a proven team to develop into a dynasty.
If we lose them, does JY get the nod to HC? Hall back as DC? Lapo OC/Asst HC? Or does Collaros transition to OC?
Who do you tap for GM? Would someone like Dyce actually be a good fit? Or a Dobie? If Goveia or Rigmaiden were still here... no brainers, are there others? Does McManus decide to try on the title, and make the move from "work from home"?
Is there an emeritus pick for GM? Milt? Would Lapo be a good GM? I think he loves the scouting side of things...
Lapo GM, JY as HC, Hall as DC, Collaros as OC? Streveler as QB/RB coach?
I guess waiting for the moves to happen makes sense, but unlike Hamilton, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Last post by Blue In BC - November 06, 2025, 03:47:32 PMQuote from: Waffler on November 06, 2025, 02:49:27 PMWith our season being over does TO have to ask permission to speak to MOS? A player contract expires in Feb but I am not sure about a coaches contract. Is he finished being paid for the 2025 contract at season end, Grey Cup end or year end? I am sure he still goes in to work every day.
Zipp pointed out that they can't talk to anyone until a given team has been eliminated for a week. So not until Monday to speak with any Bomber coach etc. Younger might be someone they might be interested in.

Last post by Waffler - November 06, 2025, 02:50:32 PMJeff Hamilton thinks MOS and KW stay. Here's his reasoning:
1) I'll admit I thought first about O'Shea when the Dinwiddie news broke, but the more I thought about it the less I thought it was a good fit. Given the small-world nature of the CFL, the Argos are certainly going to inquire and should know his interest soon. I don't see O'Shea in Toronto being a good fit for several reasons, the biggest being O'Shea doesn't seem to do well with change. There are too many variables for him to manage with a new organization, even if he is familiar with the team. O'Shea finally got the Bombers to the top of the three-down mountain after some lean years. Winnipeg's ascension, however, coincided with the arrival of quarterback Zach Collaros — a trade O'Shea didn't approve before it was made. I'm not sure O'Shea would be able to do the same for the Argos, mainly because they don't share his strong desire for continuity, constantly overhauling the roster each year. I couldn't think of anything more anti-O'Shea, and I don't see the Argos ownership caring about a culture change.
2) You also wonder what the expectations would be as far as job title. While every other coach has a second role – either as a GM or co-ordinator – O'Shea is strictly the head coach, giving him the best gig in the CFL. As for roster control, he has a lot of that, too, seemingly the same as general manager Kyle Walters. I don't see him getting that anywhere else but Winnipeg, so I'm predicting another extension with the Bombers, which is where he belongs.

Last post by Waffler - November 06, 2025, 02:16:45 PMI'll be cheering for Buck. And and also for Winnipeg east aka the Tiger-cats. It could be an all ex-bomber cup. It's not against us so I feel ok to cheer for them.

Last post by Waffler - November 06, 2025, 02:10:21 PMQuote from: Tecno on November 06, 2025, 06:29:44 AMDemski in his post-game said "super close", that he just couldn't sprint hard.For once they did the right thing. If he can't sprint he can't go deep, can't even chase a close ball on a short route. He surely would have been out of the game early. Once he decides to give that extra effort his small muscle tear becomes a big muscle tear.
If it was me, I would have played him.

As coaches go he is still young enough to build one more team from the ground up if that is a challenge that interests him. A lot of talent is there now but not sure if they are O'Shea kind of guys.
