Potential head coaches

[Stevoman]

But why would Condell leave for a lateral move? If he isn't offered a HC position, he isn't going anywhere. I know Paul doesn't believe it will happen, but I still think O'Shea will be the guy. The fact he is still unsigned for next year tells me he will explore all avenues, and I think he will want to be the one to turn the team he spilled blood and guts for around.

I know, just stating what I hope would happen.

Mike Babcock.

A couple of articles regarding O’Shea, first 3down’s article gives some insight as to how O’Shea handled himself as a player and coach through former teammates and current players, have a read and you will be more convinced that he would be a worthy choice for the Argonauts.

Now a potential downside regarding O’Shea possibly returning to the Argos as Rod Pederson’s article seems to point in the direction that O’Shea may in fact stay in Winnipeg.
All scenarios are possible at this point including the status quo in Toronto with Chamblin as HC (highly unlikely IMO), the lure of returning to Toronto (after talking to Pinball) or the Winnipeg scenario stated above, should be a very interesting couple of weeks following this weekends game.

You may very well be correct Paul.

I think he should. Some of the dopey (not all, just the dopey ones) fans in Wpg, were on him like flies on poop when the team flatlined during the season. You could hear the resounding thump of jumping off the bandwagon and it was all directed at Osh. And yet Lapo gets all the praise and credit when they do well. I'm cheering for the Bombers to win it all just to spite those people just as I did the people who kept calling Montreal a train wreck and dumpster fire last year without even seeing what talent they had.

I'm not sure if I posted it here but a few years ago I opined that Osh would be the next Wally Buono and build a big, long winning career, it had a rough start but he sure has rebounded and is making me believe in my prediction again.

Rod Pederson is wrong more often than he is right, so I am even more confident that O'Shea will return.

Just food for thought, the article says a lot but is also up for interpretation, until a contract is actually signed anything is possible.

I still think it may well be Chamblin. I didn't say I was happy about this, but why didn't they fire him, like BC did with Claybrooks? Had a demotion been coming, or if he was going to be left twisting in the wind, I'd think he would have quit, like Campbell did. Pinball may not have hired him, but Manning did.

The team took a lot of flack for the way they fired Trestman last year, and because of that I think they don’t want this to look like a knee jerk reaction, but if I were to bet, I would say he will be fired by mid December st the latest.

Why would Chamblin quit when he has a year (plus an option) on his contract? If he gets relieved of his HC duties, he still gets paid ...If he quits I don't think that he would get that money that's owed to him.

True enough! Perhaps if they can't get O'Shea, they will stick with Chamblin? It just seems odd that they've waited this long. It's not fair to him if they do plan on firing him, IMO. Just get it over with, or, if he is staying, announce he's the guy!

I don't think this is odd at all. Pinball indicated the review process, down and up, would last into a second week. That gets us to mid-week last week. At that point they were likely prevented by the CFL from making an announcement until after Grey Cup. I expect we are going to hear their plans next week. This is in line with the notice that went out saying season's tickets will go on sale in December.

Oh, all right...I'll be patient! Not one of my stronger traits...

[stuntdog]

I can see Travis Lulay becoming a very effective HC, especially if he follows the Dave Dickenson path of offensive assistant coach / QB coach to OC to HC. Ricky Ray could follow that trajectory too.

The Argos probably have a better chance of getting Ray to join their staff.

[Tobin Rote]

Has anyone on this board spoken to Mike O'Shea about his future?

[argonaut11xx]

If the Argo's keep Chamblin, i think hiring Claybrooks as D-coordinator might actually work well.

A new OC, is needed, and a full time DC in Claybrooks

It wouldnt be terrible

[Argo57]

Speculation O’Shea will probably stay in Winnipeg and Chamblin retained by the Argos with major changes made to the coaching staff.
If this comes to pass very disappointing news heading into 2020.

My Spidey senses may be correct after all? If so, it's a tough sell to the fan base.

Keeping Chamblin after the disastrous season would be a horrible mistake.
