I'd have taken Jeffcoat at 70% healthy over no Jeffcoat.

The D-line was better with him on it.

I had a dream last night that Khari was our OC, time will tell if I am clairvoyant or not.

I think the BB would most likely stay in house and promote Kevin Bourgoin... LaPo will stick with a secure job at TSN, Khari probably want to give up his full time job, Jackson will probably hold out for a HC job in Calgary if Dickenson decides to stick with his GM duties only.

1. I think you're probably right.  Hopefully in-house guys have been groomed well! I think OC might be harder for this than DC.

2. Lapo: not so secure if Bell is shopping out TSN!

3. If Dickenson was going to do just GM, they wouldn't have ditched Killam.  Nope, I think it's Dickenson's ship to crash for 2-3 more years.

Good point..  I don't think Dickenson can last another bad season though... sooner or later, someone will notice when they are done shoveling the snow off their cows and horses...

Agree. If Stamps with Adams at Qb aren't winning and in playoff contention , Dickie will be shown the door. That said, I think Adams does well with the Stamps and the west will be super tough in 2025.

I originally thought this too but the longer it takes the more I think it is maybe someone else. Why wouldn't it be a done deal by now?

Different approach, other teams were promoting their coaching searches publicly, the Bombers seem to be guarding it like a secret. Wouldn't hurt O'shea to allow a little more transparency to seep into the organization, bored fans want to know.

I am hoping the Bombers are recruiting some fresh blood, someone who can create a game plan that integrates and uses our strong run game in the most important game of the year and win that game for us. My fear is promoting from within, you are going to get the same mindset from our past OC who was 0-3 in his last 3 Grey Cups.
