says that Bob Price a former Alouette coach
is a candidate for our Head Coaching job.

I have vague memories of Price. It appears that he is a man constantly on the move, but his coaching record isn't too bad.
If all else fails, I suppose he could be an option.
There are, judging by the list of candidates that Marcel has been working against, a veritable plethora of talented experienced coaches to chose from, Coach Price just being one of these.
The delay in signing our new head coach is due to our intensive efforts to identify the -best- Head Coach from among the list of interested candidates.
Sometimes a delay is good like when you're peeved off at your boss after they just said something to you and you want to say something right away that might not be the best thing to say. Delay is quite all right for me to make the best decision possible.
Is the Caretaker is trying to steer us away from Charlie Taaffe?
If so…thats Bob Price and Greg Marshall (the other) who look like they are in the running. So far so good for plan B.
Don't worry ticats fans. To quote the Rasta prophet of a certain Argos RB:
"everyt'ing gonna be all right.
everyt'ing gonna be all right."
Head coach is the biggest hire of the franchise. There is no need to rush the biggest decision that will be made. It shows the wisdom of Hamilton management over that of Saskatchewan. Montreal is going to take over a year and a half to find their coach.
Go home, say your prayers, eat your Hulkamania vitamins, and dream dreams of Grey Cups and sugarplums dancing in your heads.
Right, Bob.
As the saying goes: “once bitten, twice shy” or something to that effect. I suppose our ‘eagerness’ to hire Coach Marshall (who had 0 years CFL experience), & his track record, speaks for itself.
So it is prudent that Ticat Management be gun-shy, & take their time choosing the ‘right’ candidate.
Of course, money is always an issue, so it is a fine balance between the ‘right’ candidate, and the ‘write’ candidate (as in sign here on the dotted line…) - if you know what I mean.
There are a lot of assumptions on this thread and in the end, only one of them will be true.
Desjardins and Caretaker too, for that matter have done absolutetly nothing to incite any anger or outrage from anyone here. Thus far, they have kept their word and some of us are willing to accept that.
Lets give another week or so as is suggested and see what happens. I'm just about 100% certain, Taaffe will be the new head coach, but, of course, I'm not always right.
At any rate, lets put some trust in team ownership and management.
