How long before Mike O'Shea is fired by the Bombers?

[R.J]

The thing is, the GM made player changes in the off season, most notably Andrew Harris at RB, but there have been others.
If the coach can't change the results, or at least the play of the team, with the new players, the coach goes first.

I didn't realize that Kyle Walters fixed the Offensive Line; which has been a major issue for quite some time in Winnipeg.
Whomever hired Richie Hall as DC needs to be fired as well.

True.
The offensive line is the most glaring deficiency on this team, and no QB or RB is gonna fix that.
But in the "spin" game, the GM could say that he made changes to improve the team and the coach didn't take advantage of those changes.
(Emphasis on "spin" btw.)

I guess the HC might be first to go if the losing / no sign of improvement continues? Somebody else who could be scapegoated first? GM Walters fired instead, a fresh new HC and O'Shea demoted? (let O'Shea have DC and get rid of predictable, same old Richie Hall)

Sad/scary thing is that they might be dumb enough there to recycle the clueless dullard LaPo as HC yet again = what a total joke.

Having been through something like this in the real world, keeping around and demoting a boss instead starting fresh with someone else and getting rid of the old boss is a horrible idea.

Those were my thoughts exactly about them ditching O'Shea and giving the HC job to LaPolice. Not a great scene in the Peg but hey I'm not a fan. They used to be my second favorite team because my mom was born in Winnipeg and my dad in Dauphin but they lost me when they moved east. Their fans were just pigs to The Argoholics as we walked in the 1991 Grey Cup parade.

If OShea is given the boot; I hope the Bombers Management isn't dumb enough to hand LaPo the job.

Then again............................ Based on their history - the management is dumb enough.

Won't be this week.

Won't be this week.

Nope.
O'Shea owes Masoli and his 5 turnovers a debt of gratitude.

Nope.
O'Shea owes Masoli and his 5 turnovers a debt of gratitude.

He also owes a Tiquan Underwood drop that would've been the go ahead TD followed by a Masoli passed tipped twice and intercepted.

TBH, I'm surprised Underwood starts over Rollover on that team.

Those breaks were balanced out by Willy playing hot potato and fumbling the ball deep in Hamilton territory.

To answer the original question: How long before O'Shea is fired by the Bombers? It will be a while.

Any questions about the long term leadership of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been put to rest.
The club announced Friday that it has agreed to three-year contract extensions with both General Manager Kyle Walters and Head Coach Mike O’Shea.

This seems somewhat odd for a duo that failed to reach the West Final last year and beat up on the Riders, Als, Argos and the Masoli-led Ticats in the regular season. Are they being given this simply for beating BC in the regular season?

[ArgoRavi]

A year ago, many Bombers fans would have loved to see their team fire both O'Shea and Walters. Amazing how much can change in a short time in this league.

Just last week they were saying the same thing about Rex Ryan.
