Because of all the stalling to hire a new head coach,
Taffe will stay in the USA, Barrett will go to Cincinnati, Marshall will stay with Winnepeg and the Ti-Cats will hire.......
I continue to think that Charlie Taaffe is our new head coach. I believe the deadline set by Dejardins was December 15th. After that date, I too will begin to panic.
if charlie taffe was the head coach he would have left pitt already, because this is recruiting season and coaches that get new jobs would have left already, taffe is staying ta pitt, why would he leave a comfortable job with dave wantsteddt and come into this mess with that crazy owner/
From the Spec:
[i]“If you’re afraid of challenges, you shouldn’t be in this business,” said Taaffe, who has served as a coaching consultant for the University of Pittsburgh Panthers since August. Prior to that, the 57-year-old spent five seasons as University of Maryland’s offensive co-ordinator and quarterback’s coach.
"I see it a little differently. I see it as a real opportunity. When you’re 4-14, there is only one way you can go. I think there are things in place, the things that you need to have a chance to be successful.
“It would be a lot of hard work. We have to rebuild the football team and the chemistry has to be right. Attitudes and accountability are very important in building a winning organization. It’s not just accumulation of talent. That’s important but it is how you develop that talent,” says Taaffe, adding morale, chemistry and locker room must all be addressed to put a winning team on the turf.[/i]

Maybe the Tiger Cats should hire an interim GM for the rest of the off season to get the job of hiring coaches done. Or, could they be planning to treat the fans with another fine season with a twist, Ronny L as Interim head coach, and RD (Gawd forbid) as offensive co-ordinator.
The Laughinghard Bookie Agency says the odds are 250-1 that Taaffe will be HC in Hamilton in 2007. You can quit holding your breath now.
Has Danny Barrett been seen shopping around Hamilton for Accommodations yet?
