I&#039;d give a Reed a chance if any of his moves in 2017 actually help the team even in the slightest but all it did was make the team even worse than 2016. Horrible signings, dumped still effective players on the team for basically nothing, butted heads with his coaching staff &#038; copied Popp&#039;s usual decision off replacing his coach with his himself &#038; not a qualified coach at the end of the season. Looking at his mediocre history on coaching staffs of other teams it&#039;s no wonder fans really dislike Reed. After seeing his latest transactions, I&#039;m not looking forward to the fresh hell Reed will be unleashing on the Montreal fanbase in 2018.]]></description>

Chapdelaine&#039;s offense was trash for 2 seasons? What? 

He barely was HC for ONE, all told.  With Cato, Adams, a revamped oline (removing Jacob Ruby) getting rid of toxic Carter and his minion Stafford, and support from the best defense in the league 2 years ago, Chapdelaine won the majority of his what? 6 games as HC in 2016?

After abandoning THAT very promising start, selling off the defense and bringing in (arguably) the worst starting QB in the league, for a massive salary, REED obliterated anything this team was building for the future.

It was the dissing of Cato, the decimation of the defense, the further trading of Adams that has his franchise teetering on the edge.

All of which is on Kavis *&#038;%^$ Reed.]]></description>

I would think that when you are on the field more times than any other LB in the league you may make some questionable hits.
With Ottawa&#039;s offense marching up and down the field he should have a lot of rest]]></description>

Their defense was on the field twice as long as most teams last year.
For a guy at his age it&#039;s pretty remarkable that he made so many tackles and was on the field more often than most LBs in the league!!
He is going to be a great asset to Ottawa,  they have signed him for one year, it give them a chance to find a permanent replacement in next years draft or they find an ex-NFL or NCAA player coming out of the training camp]]></description>

It seems everyone leaves Popp out when determini&#039;s give Reed a chance... he&#039;s already found better coaching ng cause of the Mtl situation. Since Poppp mistakenly thought he could do everything - coach &#038; GM - he didn&#039;t do anything very well... Popp left nothing on the roster for long term and Reed came in and found nothing but a bare bones and old team... AC is not and may never be a competent OC... Trestman&#039;s last 2 years weren&#039;t the best quality and Popp never found anyone decent to replace him... Let&#039;s give Reed a chance, he&#039;s already found better coaching than Popp has in the last 5 years of his reign...]]></description>

Thorpe was fired because he wanted to be in consideration for HC. Chapdelaine’s Offense was Trash for 2 seasons. Only reason he was given HC position was because he was a Fracophone and owners thought it could help with the local fan base...WRONG! Mtl has been bad b4 Kavis took over...seems almost racist that you like to pin blame on Reed for everything just sad. They were the Oldest team in CFL and had missed the last 2 playoffs! Fired them at halfway point! Jacques has been bad thats why he keeps getting fired! Hmmm Glenn was last yrs starter...did much better in Sask...Bridge better in Sask. Adams, the QB that got Chapdelaine his chance in Montreal going 3-0 didn’t have a good relationship with Chapdelaine at all. Sooo...it seems to easy for you guys to pile on Kavis but reality is he is still fixing Popps mess!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I remember Kavis Reeds comments after the firing of the Head Coach and OC Jacque Chapdelain and DC Noel Thorpe. 
I would like to suggest just how horrible of a move that was for Montreal and a lot of the Veteran Players. Under Thorpe the ALs Defence was running at a very high quality of play. The release made zero sense. Especially since Montreal fought hard to keep Noel in Montreal after Noel had resigned and wanted to move to Edmonton early 2016. 
The firing of Montreal’s Head Coach and OC Chapdelain was nothing more than a knee jerk reaction. The offence was on a down slide but could have easily been repaired with the addition or replacement of just a few players. Those firings so early in the season seriously affected the play of the recent addition of a CFL experienced QB. 
I can only imagine Durant saying to himself; here we go again. 2015 Jacque Chapdelain was fired because of me. I was to be his QB for the year and I had a season ending freak injury. 
We all know what happened to the ALs the rest of the season. It killed everything in that franchise. The fans had nothing left. If this year is just as bad and it sure looks to have the making of a similar season to last year. I feel sorry for the ALs fans. I really do... if they turn around and fool everyone and start winning. I for one will bow my head in shame and give respect where it’s due. I’m thinking that isn’t going to happen. 
Kyrie Herbert could have helped a rookie DC there in Montreal. His play was never in question. Trying to plan anything different than a 1 year deal right now is ludicrous. Just about every if not all FAs signed 1 year deals with their new team. WHY? The CBA... that’s why. So having Heberts solid play around as a full time starter for another year could have helped. 
In the end I think it was simply that Kavis felt that Kyrie’s personality would clash with the Rookie DC and Hebert probably would challenge his authority and that never, ever has worked on any team.]]></description>
