At this point, it seems like he's the only guy around who could possibly restore respectability, and bring back a winning attitude to this franchise.
His record speaks for itself: Only missed the playoffs once since becoming a head coach in 1990, all the while having quarterbacks, running backs, and other key personnel positions with different skill sets and experience, from rookies to veterns. This guy knows how to win. Pay him whatever he wants, and give him whatever control he desires.
I think Wally is a coaching genius. The guy doesnt put up with any garbage concerning his football teams. hes not afraid to let anyone go, if they don`t buy into his system.
Some people say coaching doesn`t make that much of a difference but with Buono here, I believe he would.
Now, I'm all for bringing in Buono, I even suggested it when before they hired Taaffe. The problem is getting him here. He's got a cushy job in BC and Hamilton is a total mess right now.
Everybody is available if the price, opportunity and situation are right. If you want Buono you have to actively pursue him and make an "offer he can't refuse". Having said that, he would be nuts to come here.
We keep hearing rumours out here on the West Coast that now that Taffe is gone Dave Ritchie will come out retirement next year. Any truth to that rumour?
The team has a better chance to land " Mr. Ed " I belive coaching does make a huge difference along with talent. The Tiger Cats lack coaching skills - talent and someone to FIND talent. Once again what does Obie
and Rambo bring to the table other than getting a pay check -
