Popp/Chamblin Staying or Going?

[paulwoods13]

I don't think you can sell many season's tickets without a QB and with a coach under whom the team failed so miserably. We likely aren't gonna get the QB position resolved until February, so IMO a new head coach, preferably one fans can get excited about, is a must.

Agree 100%!

I'm generally not in favour of firing coaches after one unsuccessful season, but Chamblin has a lot to answer for imo. He presumably hired the assistant coaches, and he definitely overrated some of the free agents we signed (Poop, Wild). He designed the defensive schemes and persisted with heavy man coverage when it was evident to all that it was not working with our personnel. Our talent recruitment was poor, but he was not left with only crumbs to work with. And can he be sold to ticket buyers?

We’ve all seemed to calm down since the season has been over, but let’s not forget what we saw. When you look back at all the games and see bonehead after bonehead call from a lost and overwhelmed head coach, I don’t know how you can believe he will be back. Seriously, some of the stupidest live game decisions ever. The head coach they want is still playing, so in time this will be sorted out.

Horrible in game decision making couple with a poorly prepared team for the majority of the season should not be forgotten, a coaching change needs to be made.
Good luck trying to justify the status quo with a dwindling fan base.

I see very little chance MOS leaves Wpg.

He may very well re-sign, but I wouldn’t say little chance he leaves. Win the Cup and it’s mission accomplished, time to move home to Ontario. Lose the game badly, and the same criticism he faced before the playoffs might appear again. This is the guy who screwed (I say rejected) the Tiger-Cats twice for Toronto, so loyalty to Winnipeg isn’t a thing. Being close to his son now playing football, would pull hard. I don’t see $ being a problem with MLSE and his buddy Pinball will make a convincing offer. The fact he doesn’t have a contract means he’s at least going to listen to the offer.

I'm sure he's 100% focused on his current task at hand, but.....He's an all time Argo that bled double blue. Nothing will convince me that he won't want to come back and bring the organization back to glory.

We better move quickly after the GC, in either determining if MOS or Lapo want to come aboard.
Naylor said yesterday how BC might have interest in either Lapo or Campbell.
Lapo is the favourite as having some history with Mike Reilly.

Not sure if this plays any role but......
