Now wouldn't it be ironic if Lapolice replace Benevides ? Reminds me of the John Tortorella and Alain Vigneault trade
Hopefully not as one-sided.

At least as far as the Vancouver aspect is concerned.

Danny Barrett said to be given consideration for #BCLions head coaching vacancy. QB and assistant coach with #cfl team in the 1990s.
-Believes in building from the trenches outwards. A great O-Line and D-Line guarantees an above average team.
-A coach that has to give a motivational pregame speech is probably a coach that is insecure about his game plan.

Yeah, that isn't going to win many fans back. Even funnier that Beamish doesn't acknowledge Barrett's HC stint under Shivers reign in Saskatchewan.

If they hire Barrett over Jeff Garcia, Wally needs to have his head examined.

Why? He's been an active position coach in DI (yes, yes, FBS) for years now. He's been a HC in this league. Garcia's got half a season as an emergency QB coach.

Wally needs his head examined if he doesn't at least arrange an interview with Barrett.

He could do worse.

How about both. Can we have both? Is that ok?
