MOJO Sports Radio AM730 has learned that the Ottawa Renegades have contacted B.C. Lions General Manager and Head Coach Wally Buono, looking for permission to talk with Lions Assistant GM and Director of Player Personnel Bob O’Billovich.
Buono gave the Renegades permission to contact O’Billovich, however they have only been given a small window to come to terms on a deal.
O’Billovich says he has not talked with the Renegades at the time of this story.
It is speculated that the Renegades are looking for a general manager, with O’Billovich and CFL T.V. analyst Eric Tillman as candidates to fill the job.
Nothing wrong with Eric, in fact and like the previous thread, he would be my hands downs GM. With Phil Kershaw and Mark Kosmos in the Prez and VP seats. These mooves would go a long way into giving the Gades instant credibility in the community.
What are they waiting for, while bailing water again in the current state of this Titanic after hitting the iceberg.
Well, O'B isn't coming and I don't blame him. Why would he want to come to a team that is so mixed up that no good football man would want to put himself through it?
Turns out some of this was a lie. They didn't really have much of a discussion with O'B. They let the deadline pass without telling Buono that they would like to have an extension or anything. Listen to 1200 right now as they are discussing this issue.
