I’m the one, or one of the ones, who’s done that and I’d call it, rather than ridiculous, a what-have-you-done-recently observation.
Nevertheless, i will acknowledge his “success,” as a CFL head coach:
2012 - 2nd place, 9 & 9, beat the cross-over Esks & MTL & CGY, to win the Grey Cup
2013 - 1st place, 11 & 7, lost the final to Ticats
2014 - 3rd place, 8 & 10, out of playoffs
2015 - 3rd place, 10 & 8, lost the semi-final to the TiCats
2016 - 4th place, 5 & 13
2024 - So far 3 & 9
Full record: Regular season 46 & 56, Playoffs 2 & 2, Grey Cup 1 & 0
(For comparison)
Steinauer: Regular season 39 & 29, Playoffs 3 & 2, Grey Cup 0 & 2
I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong on not having joined those, here, who believe Scott Milanovich will lead the Tiger-Cats to their first Grey win of the 21st. century.
Egbert: I thought your opinion (post 3451), which prompted Crash’s response, was very well presented and I acknowledge that several others have indicated their agreement with it.
For 2015-2016 Add to that ownership change, stadium change, games with dates moved because the Jays made the playoffs, Ricky Ray injury, etc.
My point from the beginning is if him having a Grey Cup winning season and a 1st place season were a lifetime ago, so was 2016.
I’m less fussed with 2016 record and more concerned with what he does with the talent he’s given. He’s not the President or GM, his job is to coach the players he has.
It ends bad for alot of good coaches. Dave Dickenson might be the next one.
No, Ottawa has a game in hand and have 7 wins and 1 tie.
Hamilton has 3 wins with 6 games left, they have to win 5 of the last 6 and hope that Ottawa loses all their remaining 7 games.
The toughest game for the Ticats will be in a couple of weeks
in Vancouver with a late start.
If Ottawa beats the Argos on Saturday, forget trying to get second place.
It will be about trying to catch the Argos for that final playoff spot, the Argos have 6 wins
Well done Bobo.
And just so I’m clear I’m not suggesting we credit the players and coaches with wins for those losses, but for the purpose of evaluating this team the rest of the way and heading into next year there’s a difference between losing by 2 and losing by 25.
I read that acklin may be able to return early , he was at practice the other day watching and not wearing sunglasses according to coach dyce so that is good progress. Dedmon broke part of his finger after it was stepped on according to a Redblacks article.
I’m sure Acklin wants to play against Hamilton, not just that it’s his ex team but his ties to the city, his girlfiend and family live there, his daughter born at McMaster medical.
Very true , he also sent me a sweet message prior to the concussion thanking me for a gift i mailed to the stadium for poppy & saying me @ Hamilton. The fact he was limited in practice leading up to tomorrow’s game is amazing progress. So likely he will be on the sideline tomorrow possibly helping out coaches some .
I’m not ready to go that far, but if we win our next two (vs OTT, at TOR) I think we’re shockingly back in the conversation for a playoff spot. Toronto has a grueling schedule.
Maybe the season really does start at Labour Day and Tim White was right to mail it in for June, July and August.
Everybody should keep in mind that we already have the season series with the Anchors . All we have to do is match their win total and we get that final spot .
The Blows have a brutal schedule and may not get to 8 wins, however they’ll probably get one of those wins at home where the other team slips on a banana peel on the 1 yd line and just hands them the football.
