Re: At Season's End what should happen?

Montreal is looking pretty good with Khari Jones as HC and Vernon Adams today.... Not a great result if we'd ever be in a position to cross over but it was a nice result for the Als.
No need to worry about crossing over .

Re: If no coach is fired, what would you advise in the short term?

Benevides and Stubler have crossed paths a few times. While Bene was DC he brought Stubler in to be DLC back in 2010. Then when Bene was promoted to HC in 2012 one of the first thing he did was bring in Stubler to be DC. Stubler would be Bene's DC for 2 of his 3 years as HC. But of course it was wi...

That's a hard pass for Bennie as DC, but HELL YA to special teams coordinator.

Is it a case of guys trying to do too much...or not knowing what TF they're supposed to do??


DH :cool:
I wasn't actually advocating for Bene's return , just saying he would be an upgrade over what we got .

Re: If no coach is fired, what would you advise in the short term?

At some point, the club is going to have to admit that Tyler Altilio was the wrong hire. 9 games in and the club is an absolute shambles for 1/3 of the game. I hate predicting anyone's demise, and I'm not saying he won't be capable in the future. But right now, he is way out of his depth. I've said...

Re: Argos Shopping James Wilder. Do you think Hervey is Interested

Wilder is another talent that has not been in the right situation to showcase his skills in Toronto but this story on TSN that he refused to work on STs for last night's game is a shocker. Carter plays on kick return and he does this willingly - saw it in practice - where he was on the flank on the...

Re: Who Will be Fired First

Let's not carry away with Jarius Jackson. One game does not make him a good offensive coordinator. He was here last year and the offense was less than inspiring. I don't think anyone said that . Certainly not what I was saying . I said he earned a reprieve , for now , with that performance . And th...

Re: Who Will be Fired First

Rich Stubler deserves to be fired too, but the problem is he is Claybrooks friend and mentor and I cannot see him being fired, He has to resign or retire. Don't be surprised if he comes back next year unless Hervey pressures Claybrooks to let him go. That is what I was referring to and why I said t...

Re: Who Will be Fired First

I would give Hervey another chance next year. He hired a guy who was the consensus choice as the best coach available, signed the best available qb, and brought in some high profile free agents. It is true that it has been a disaster and the season is all but lost, and no doubt that Hervey made mis...

Re: Who Will be Fired First

There are talent issues here and maybe the Stubler DEF is a challenge as of yet but it shouldn't stop the pass rush if you have the horses up there - and the Lions don't have them! Davon Coleman was an All-Star last year . Same guys as last year except Lemon and they were a pretty good D-line last ...

Re: Who Will be Fired First

Adding the Coleman give away to the mess already present on defense , sure hoping it's Stubler who gets fired first.

Re: BC Lions re-acquire Shawn Lemon for Davon Coleman

Wow , just going from bad to worse . Truly a desperation move that will only bring the team further down . Trade away our best DL for another remainder of the season with Lemon. All to further justify Stubler's failing system . :roll: Will be another rebuilding year next year for sure on defense . H...
