Fans posting on this message board complain about the dumbest things!
Glanville isn’t PLAYING. He is COACHING. The older a coach is, the more experience and knowledge they bring to the table. Age is not a negative for a coach. It’s a positive.
This ixactly what I have been preaching about Jones. He did nothing more than arrive to TiCat-land, at the right time. The Team was in disarray with Austin and Jones arrived and the boys turned on again. Not because of Jones but in spite of him. Could have been anyone at that time. Now he brings in one of his “old” boys in to take a cheque. I don’t like it either Onemore, one little bit!
Bud Grant?? Wow - guess he just missed out on knowing Knute Rockne.
OK, so I’m exaggerating a bit. Hard to believe there’s a guy on our staff who is one degree of separation from someone who was a major figure in 1960s-era CFL football. I guess Lancaster was a 1960s holdover, but he arrived here 20 years ago (!!)
Just checked out Grant’s wiki page. 29 years of pro football head coaching experience, for a total of just two teams, in two different leagues. You don’t hear that much anymore. Also, he jumped right from player to head coach, without ever having worked as an assistant coach at any level. Last time I heard that it was Pinball, and the Argos were mocked for it, until he brought home a Grey Cup for them.
If hes happy to be an assistant, players like him and he doesnt invite the spotlight theres not much to complain about. Experience in a pro culture and connections mean something.
If he wants to be DC with lots of microphones in his face complete with sunglasses and cowboy hat...no way.
Except I was being sarcastic.
Jones came in and put HIS system in place. He wasn’t simply a placeholder. He completely changed the culture. You honestly think a recycled CFL head coach would have come in and put Masoli into a cookie cut CFL offense and have any more success than Austin?
