Can we now put BC into the “completely unbettable” category with Toronto?
Worst team in PRO sports these days is the BC lions---
They suffered from an ABSENTEE owner and they retained an old coach with grey hair FAR TOO LONG- He ruined the franchise with nepotism and just a sad culture of BC style politics. Threw everybody under the bus- routinely threw all players under the bus-- All ex BC players are BONAFIDE superstars in other teams now-- Adam Bighill Winston Rose, Elimingean, Sean Lemon etc--
My theory is this---
The 2 most expensive cities that were completely DEVASTATED by money laundering were VANCOUVER and TORONTO---
Both cities culture and general energy is LOW-- The teams and fans energy are LOW-- Hence the teams will suck here- Players cannot afford rent, cannot make a good living in BC--
Same thing happened in Detroit to their sports team after the auto sector collapse--
Also another fact worth mentioning is that both Toronto and Bc employ African American head coaches who have DEFENSIVE BACKGROUNDS.
Toronto's coach Corey SHAMBLING is 0-6 this season-- He has lost 15 straight games as a head coach in the CFL-- HIs background is DEFENSIVE-----
Devon Claybroooks is 1-6 this season--- His background is DEFENSIVE-------
Stats do not lie-- These 2 coaches are 1-21 combined as head coaches in the CFL--
I believe its due to these guys being defensive coaches-- They are just not on par with the other coaches who are offensive minded, or I don't even have to say it..
No malice intended by the african american comment but its a LEGITIMATE CAPPING ANGLE-- 1-21 speaks volumes about these 2 guys as coaches--
To me guys like CLAYBROOKS and SHAMBLING are excellent coordinators but HORRIBLE head coaches-- It takes a certain amount of knowledge and understanding to be a head coach-- Some guys just can't do it.
Khari Jones on the other hands is doing well in Montreal, but his background is OFFENSIVE- He was a QB in the CFL--
In general teams that employ defensive coaches as head coaches will be at a DISADVANTAGE IMO--
Look at Ottawa with Rick Campbell giving up safeties late in games, because he was defensive guy-- AN offensive coach punts the ball and forces Calgary to win the game by scoring a TD--
BC is terrible because they do not have any international scouting department-- For some reason their scouts are not working-- AS you can tell on the field- Slow, skinny players.
