Tsn Reporting Jenkins Fired

[calgaryred]

maybe Jim Barker will get the nod. He's familar with the players. He did an awesome job in Montreal. Even won a grey cup!

Nah, I think Jim's happy with his school of football or else he would have taken the offers he got to coach in the offseason. I don't think anyone will be hired until the offseason. I just hope Matt learns from Jenkins mistakes and maybe uses a running back or two.

Jim Barker's an amazing OC (see MTL - Barker's the reason Calvillo is the #1 QB in the league right now). Barker was a victim of bad management - having to keep and use Kevin Feterick and get rid of Darnell Kennedy.

I really liked barker. I agreethe guy never got a chance to prove himself. My only tip for the guy is don't wear shorts!

The problem is more than John Jenkins. As I watched the game on Thursday, I was in awe when the Stamps went on a blitz late in the game while Ottawa was gambling on 3rd down and 20. Everybody knows Ottawa will pass the ball and it is going to be deep. They went on a blitz opening up a receiver. Of course, the fumble that cost the Stamp a game was a stupid play in the first place. 50 seconds left and they are ahead by 2 points. They should run the ball and run the clock. Even a peewee football team knows it.

I am giving Dunigan the benefit of the doubt but if this stupid mistakes keep on going, I wouldn't be surprise to see people stops coming to the stadium just like before 15-20 odd years ago. Back then, they really blew it with their PR job and they end up losing the fans and almost losing the franchise. For the last few seasons since Feterik bought the team, the PR job was really shoddy and management and personnel were inconsistent.

I say, i sure wish to see Feterik sell the team soon before it's too late.

Something had to be done. I guess Dunnigan really will be taking on more of the offensive planning. I bet you we see alot more run game now.

Great... Dunnigan is already a brutal GM and a bad coach. Adding the title of mediocre offensive coordinator doesnt exactly give me confidence. [/b][/quote]
I think Dunnigan has done a decent job as GM.

Even the Ottawa trade is not as bad as people make it out to be

It was not a blitz. Dunnigan, Barker and others have said it was not a blitz. They sent 4 guys only. Barker said that he would have sent the house cause the QB had a wonky ankle and would be forced to throw the ball quickly. They were burnt cause they left a lot of seams open.
