Duh, what took them so long. You have quality players leaving like brown and Lewis, because they're fed up with everything. Dinwiddie made the wrong call at qb when is he going to be held accountable??

I predict 2028. because: Ryan Dinwiddie has been named Head Coach and General Manager of the football club, signing a contract through the 2028 season.

He's an expensive employee.

Any chance they promote Brendan Taman?

I could see him taking over for at least the end of the season.

If so immediately enquire what they want for their #1 draft pick.

If Dinwiddie is smart he hires John Murphy to handle scouting and personnel.

Watch Dinwiddie hire himself for yet another hat.

Maybe Walters is next? ;D

Great! Cut the baggage? Or wait while coaching, go get some scouts. Get a QB.  Did las. Vegas cut the other Rourke.? Yet?  Ottawa needs a QB.  They should get Deon's  QB of a few years ago from Wayne playing at Las Vegas that kid at least can find a way to win and they don't have anybody a quarterback that can find a way to win and Myers has been given time and chances after chances and just keep screwing up the long time and McLeod is done, but maybe with a week of practice he can do better but it's a revolving door there.

Mbt sucking in relief just showed that the problem may not mainly be maier.

Would Alexander do any better at the helm?? You'd think a bit, but who knows at this point.

I wonder if hardy has given up or is majorly hurt. He's been just as bad as everyone else for a couple of weeks now.
