Re: CFLPA strike

If this strike lasts longer than start of the season, it could seriously damage the league. In some cities, like Vancouver, most people probably don't know or care if the players go on strike. Both sides better get it together soon or the league could be in serious trouble. Some people online alread...

Re: Update: Michael Reilly retires

My bet is Lions will sign Harris as Rourke's backup. Campbell knows him well and Lions want an experienced backup, so that rules O' Conner out, for he is not experienced and Lions need someone who has had some success in this league, not 2 unknowns. Masoli will go where the money is and no way the 1...

Re: Lemar Durant released

With Durant gone, I would be very surprised if before free agency, the Lions don't sign either Cottoy or Shaq Johnson. One of them will sign before free agency I think. I think Durant will sign elsewhere. He was a Ed Hervey guy and don't think he is in Lions plans at all for Lions were not even inte...

Re: Will Reilly Retire?

Here it is January 20, just few weeks before free agency and Reilly still has not made up his mind whether to play or retire. Needs to decide soon for if retiring Lions need to sign an experienced QB. Cannot roll dice with 2nd year player who only started 2 games and last one was a mean nothing game...

3 Lions up for Ottawa Gm job

According to 3 Down Nation, Duane Ford and 3 Lions: Simon, Rigmaiden and McEvoy are being considered for the GM job in Ottawa. Why is McEvoy interested? He is already the GM with the Lions, so don't know why he would consider leaving for the Ottawa job.

Re: CFL Coach Most likely to be fired

The question Dano is will Buono hire him again? That is debatable, but I guess it depends upon the other candidates. I hope we don't lose Geroy. I like to see him be our GM one day.

Re: CFL Coach Most likely to be fired

I mentioned yesterday I thought something may go down in Edmonton this week and said no way they maintain the status quo. The CEO was fired for he was not well liked in Edmonton. I don't think Hervey gets the job. He did not do a good job in BC. He signed 4 or 5 guys to big contracts, went cheap in ...

Re: Elks at BC Nov 19

If a change happens in Edmonton, it may happen this week before the West Semi final. After that league will not like Coach or Management changes to distract from the big games. Lots of anger in Edmonton over the season for were expecting much better. I cannot see them keeping the status quo.

Re: CFL Coach Most likely to be fired

Both Brock Sunderland and Elizondo have 2 years left on their deals. Probably 1 will be fired for someone has to take the fall for a terrible season. They did not even win 1 home game. Sunderland probably should be fired. Team is a mess and he has done a very poor job. With coaches cap maybe they ca...

Re: Elks at BC Nov 19

Bob M suggested Reilly will be offered $300,000 to come back and likely accept for where else can you make that much? Bob thinks Lions will pay him no more and Reilly will have to take the pay cut or retire.

What happens now with the Lions?

Thoughts on what the first major change will be? I think it will be with the coaching staff. 2 or 3 guys or more will be let go, but cannot predict who other than the DL coach. Cannot remember his name. Mod note - we don't need another thread on the future of the club. We already have three in: How ...

CFL Coach Most likely to be fired

There is no way Jaime Elizondo survives after the season they had. They will eat his last 2 years. Bob M suggested Rick L will recommend Rick Campbell to be brought back for another year and already rumours saying Lapolice will be back.

Re: Should CFL Scrap the Coaches Cap?

Yes in theory the concept of the cap is good, but it has gone too far. Craig Dickenson said it is hard to find coaches if you can only offer them $35,000 a year and there has to be some flexibility. Fired coaches should not be part of the cap. There has to be exceptions to the rules. If some teams n...

Re: Will Reilly Retire?

I said part of the blame and still stand by my statement. Cannot absolve him for 2 whole seasons. Yes there are other problems, but he is not the same QB he was in Edmonton and his high salary caused Hervey to cut many of our leaders like Solly and we have not recovered from that. Also not bringing ...

Should CFL Scrap the Coaches Cap?

I am not fan of this. It looks bush league. In every other league, you can fire the coach or GM and not be limited by money to hire a replacement, but in CFL forced to keep a bad coach or GM because of these new rules. If no coaches cap, Lions could make major changes and instead probably will not a...
