So you want him fired but also want the team to play well enough to keep him?

If Creehan somehow survives this season, there appears no doubt he will be canned at year end.
So why not do it now at least over the bye week.

But that was known at the beginning of the season or when the schedule came out. TSN is changing the TV schedule on the day of the game like they did last week... That can't be good for an audience that's use to seeing games on their TSN signal no matter what.

If Creehan is responsible for some personall on defence...then we know his judge of talent is every bit as bad as his coverages.

Furthermore, as I have stated before, he is a bad representative of the organization. I've been to practice where there are groups of kids around, and he just goes off with loud F bomb after F bomb. It really is embarrassing.

Hence the players have probably tuned him out and have sniffed through the BS to know that Creehan is clueless and not worth their respect, especially if he carries on like you have reported Angelo (which I believe 100%).

'Gut-check time' for Argonauts

The Argos find themselves on the brink, faced with one of those moments in a long season when character is tested, a time when they either rebound from an embarrassment or sink further into the abyss.
No other explanation is required, the backdrop to Friday night’s visit by Hamilton featuring so many layers that it’s virtually impossible to list them all, or at least give each dimension its due justice.
In all three phases, the Argos weren’t good on Labour Day Monday when the host Ticats whipped their visitors, 42-12, leading 27-1 at the break when Hamilton didn’t even punt once in the game’s opening 30 minutes.

Argo changes may well be coming if the Argos don't play well tonight.

The product wasn’t good on Monday and it hasn’t been good in back-to-back losses for the Argos.
This team is crying out for change, but it isn’t coming any time soon.
When he got home Monday night, Milanovich got a copy of the game tape and watched it, rewinding plays, mulling over adjustments the Argos need to make for Friday’s game, a short week that gives both teams basically one full practice day.
Offence, defence, special teams, Milanovich saw it all, the missed plays, missed assignments, breakdowns, the rout that ensued as the Ticats mauled the Argos, 42-12.
“Unfortunately, it’s very similar,’’ he said. “It’s the details. It’s six inches here, it’s Trevor (Harris) underthrowing a corner route by this far (Milanovich’s hands were extended by roughly four inches). Same thing on defence. Our linebacker maybe one yard short in his depth and Zach (Collaros) barely gets it over his head.
“That was maybe one of the positive things. It was like: ‘Wow! It’s not like we were that far off.’ But at some point we have to grasp the details and get them right. It’s why we coach them. It can be fixed, but in some cases it’s happened too frequently.”
A punt return in Edmonton for a touchdown, a blocked punt in Hamilton, two plays that underscore the need to clean things up on special teams.
Five first-half first downs on Monday and zero first-half points, this after the Argos’ offence had seven points in the second half in Edmonton, including zero in the game’s final quarter.
Henry Burris threw for 426 yards by completing 32 of 36 passes against Toronto.
Then came James Franklin in his starting debut, Edmonton’s quarterback completing 29 of 38 attempts for 335 yards.
Collaros was 26 of 38 for 400 yards as Hamilton led 27-1 at halftime.
Whether the team has reeled off three wins in a row or has now lost two in succession, changes are always being pondered.
“It’s pretty much a weekly thing,’’ said Milanovich.

Finally, the Argos stop the Ticats. Its an interception that leaves them on their 2 but I'll take any sign of life in the defence at this point.

**jerrym** · 09-11-2015, 07:48 PM

When you come up with a big play, you can't immediately negate it with an interception, especially against the Ticats in your own end if you want to win.

**jerrym** · 09-11-2015, 07:50 PM

Coates immediately proves my point on the first play from scrimmage following the Ticat interception.

**tennyis** · 09-11-2015, 07:54 PM

wow attendance looks brutal tonight, ive been switching between the jays game have they mentioned it all?

when I said the argos should keep collaros and trade ray you guys thought I was nuts.. I REALLY wish they did now!

**tennyis** · 09-11-2015, 07:56 PM

trick play... what a waste

**jerrym** · 09-11-2015, 08:00 PM

Biggest play on the Argo TD drive was Harris's run showing the Harris and the Argos are here to compete.

**Neely2005** · 09-11-2015, 08:01 PM

Great trick play attempt!

Look at that, run the ball and things open up!
