Milanovich resigns

Its official, Scott Milanovich resigns as Argos head coach to join the Jacksonville Jaguars staff as QB coach. The writing was pretty much on the wall since Barker was fired though.
Things aren't looking to great in Argo land right now.

Re: Durant Traded to Montreal.

I have always respected Durant, being able to come back from back to back season ending injuries. I was really hoping to see him stay in Saskatchewan however, and play his whole career there, especially after everything that he's done for that team and what he means to the province. That's the busin...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

Thought you might be interested in hearing Wally on a US podcast. Here, the two Indianapolis hosts quiz Wally on Alex Bazzie. Thought he handled it really well and was informative (at least he didn't talk in those evasive riddles, lol). http://m.colts.com/s/30853/370?itemUri=-1236914702/38121121141...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

Bighill - big loss, but plays a position that is easy to find the next guy others, who cares?: Leone - we were going in another direction anyway, wally wants one FG/K and cdn if possible Bazzie -- if we weren't so weak on DLine he would have been cut two years ago Gaitor -- played well last part of...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

I think a lot of the recent player movement also has to do with the popularity of one year contracts. Free agency has always been a part of any major sports league, however there was an unprecedented amount of player movement over the past couple of seasons (and its shaping up to be the same this ye...

Re: Solomon is back! Merry Christmas

I too have wondered if Lokombo can play nickleback if Purifoy does not return, or could Lokombo play free safety? I think that the only way to re-sign Lokombo is to pay him starter's $ and have him start somewhere on D. So now with Solly signed I am hoping that Bighill makes it in the NFL and then ...

DH :cool: That's a pretty good bit of cash. I wonder if Wally was visited by three ghosts this week. Elimimian is worth ev...

Re: Lions biggest mistakes in 2016....

5) Charles Vaillancourt made the starting roster out of training camp at right guard (and was an effective run blocker), suffered a concussion, then was used more sparingly down the stretch than Tabasco sauce on a fajita. Whats wrong with Tabasco sauce on a fajita? Very good points mentioned by pre...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

Sorry to burst everyone's balloon, but neither Hajrullahu nor Whyte are going to give up their situations to come to BC. I would expect Toronto and Edmonton to make both priority signings. As far as I know, both players are happy and aren't looking to leave, nor are their teams going to just let th...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

Hajrullahu (probably spelt wrong) would be the ideal choice if having one guy handle all the kicking chores was an absolute priority. He had an excellent turnaround year; the change of scenery obviously was good. He went from the absolute doghouse to....well, the penthouse is an overstatement. I ex...

Re: Adam Bighill Released

All the more important that we sign Elimimian and Lokombo now. While I wish him well as I want to see any player given the opportunity to play on the big stage and earn more money, he was the heart of our defence and a big part of our success.

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

Lions are apparently targeting Swayze Waters. Reached out to him in the fall before signing McCallum but due to personal reasons he wasn't able to report at the time. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wally take another big run at him. Would be a huge signing as he can handle all 3 kicking duties. Wou...

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market
