Ya, there's enough blame to go around for everyone - not re-signing Grant as our kick returner, something happened that lead to Bailey being let go and yet we figured Wheatfall was a replacement??, players playing hurt- Demski, then Collaros--the game was very close before he got hurt, brutal offensive game plan/not using Brady to carry the rock more,and forcing Collaros to throw the ball when he couldn't grip it--that one I can't get over the most. Stupidest thing we could have ever done, trumps all other screwups.

We never really recovered from losing Schoen to injury. Yes, Wilson played decent, but not Schoen decent, and Demski and Woli not there, recieving corps was severely depleted yet we chose to pass vs run with the #1 RD in the league. I just don't get it. Oh well, turn the page

Interesting comment on Lionbackers. It's better to move on 1 year too soon than one year too late. It's valid but never that simple in the grand scheme of things.

so who are we moving from 1 year too soon and who are we replacing him with??

I'm not upset. 5 Grey Cup appearances in a row with a couple of wins will do that for you.
Go Bombers!

I am going to predict that Buck Pierce will be the next HC for the Lions.

A comment from Doman about firing Campbell that should be heard when hard decisions are being made about coaches or players.

It's not a friend decision. It's a business decision.

I think it's appropriate to mention that as we consider some of the changes we're discussing now as we enter the off season.

I will second this. I think he would actually fit well there.

Watch the video, they say they will be interviewing many candidates some currently in the CFL, some not, zero indication they have anyone specific in mind.  I get the sense from their wording, Doman made the decision to move on from Campbell.

I agree, and hopefully Lapo comes back and gets our offense back to where it was

In BC there is a fair bit of dicsussion/rumour that Pierce, at the very least, is being considered.  Agree is would make sense to interview a few candidates.

There are lots of potential coaching staff across the CFL moving to new opportunities. I'm not sure who ends up where or when.

The thing is that every team will want to get those people in place as we head towards free agency.

Bombers have 3 different positions that might force change. At the very least I hope we have a shopping list of potential replacement candidates.

I too wonder about the shopping list. Last time we didn't hire from within for a coordinator job was 9 years ago. Hall and Lapo hired the same year although you can argue the Bombers considered LaPo part of the family so does he count?

Past due for Walters to make an appearance and provide an update on his plans for the off-season, it's been awhile.

Although not Walters, Mike O'Shea is holding his end of the season media conference as we speak.
