Comments on: ‘Biscuit’ should stay in the Stampeder oven for another year https://dev.3downnation.com/2017/12/07/should-biscuit-stay-in-the-oven/ Canadian football’s premier publication Mon, 11 Dec 2017 04:38:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Edward Leslie https://dev.3downnation.com/2017/12/07/should-biscuit-stay-in-the-oven/#comment-255882 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 04:38:55 +0000 https://3downnation.com/?p=26965#comment-255882 I should say Broderick-Jourdan has indicated he’s retiring, not Brouilette.
It should be easy for Reed to drop Giguerre and Willy at least. Reed practically had a purge of white folks in 2017:
Noel Thorpe, Jacques Chapdelaine, Bear Woods, Marco Brouilette, Jeff Perrett, Michael Klassen, Jeff Finley, Anthony Fera, Jonathan Crompton, Kyle Graves, James Tuck and Jacob Ruby.
Whew! Just about done, Kavis??

Hufnagel’s getting up there in years and will likely step aside in favour of Dickenson in 2-3 years. That would open up the Stamps H.C. spot.
As Montreal, Lewis and Brouilette have already given notice that they plan to retire. I can’t see Chip Cox, Sam Giguerre, Brian Simmons or Drew Willy returning And Darian Durant is gone for sure.
Bowman will stay if he wants. Both Stefan Logan and Kyries Hebert are fan favourites and had great years. They should stay.

He was seemingly not fan friendly, not media friendly and not TSN friendly and I’m not sure he’s learned the lesson there. He’s just one of those guys who always has a chip on his shoulder

He blames some of that on his HC which is a bit gutless as he’s the boss of the HC.

What also raises eyebrows is that Hervey is saying he only took the job with Wally as his HC leaving the most bizarre reporting relationship ever as Wally is his boss and will be the primary link to the owner.

When Wally was GM and HC and Bobby Ackles the President, the Wally had a similar direct line to the owner and Ackles wasn’t really Wally’s boss. Now Wally has the same deal with his GM.

I’m of the mind that Hervey can do the talent scouting nicely and one of the first things that he should have been tasked to do is get a new HC and coaching staff.

First time I’ve ever seen a writer respond to a comment on here. Nice to see. It would be great to have the writers more engaged. Especially since some drop a crap headline or poor info then don’t admit it or explain it.

Hope to see more of your articles.

But who are you to say what’s appropriate? Like I said this ain’t the days of Landry and Bear Bryant. I’m not talking Nike sweatshorts or nylon style, there are “dressy” shorts that look very professional

Most of this article is not factual but good read anyhow.

Mincy was hired by Popp. Pipkin was put on Alouettes’ neg’ list by Popp. Northrup is serious downgrade from Woods. Lewis and Wright are promising players brought by Reed and Mack.

Cox, Logan and Hebert will have to win their spot next season. So will Luc Brodeur-Jourdain, Samuel Giguère, Simmons, Nik Lewis (if he’s offered this opportunity), Brandon Rutley, Knapton, Westerman, Shologan, Campbell, Carter, Greaves, Fulton, Matte, Vonk, Oramisionwu, Harris, Willy, Plesius, Pierzchalski, Sarao, and a big bunch of nobodies Reed and Mack brought in.

Yeah, it puzzled me that McEvoy wasn’t promoted. I had the same reaction when Wally gave th HC job to Benevides instead of Chapdelaine. In the end, I understand that maybe there was a good reason for that. So maybe there is something there wth McEvoy too.
