OT: Parabola Memorial B.C. Lions 2023 Thread

Touchdown Cottoy! Jeez........no extra point, ugh.

 

[Bgav]

Joke of a penalty, Harris put his Wr in that position.

Edit: the lions are a f***ing joke, I hope this coaching staff is fired before the game ends

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Lions are garbage.
UBC is garbage.
Terrible day for BC football.

Only watched the Western semi in short stretches......had zero expectations for the Lions in this game.

I really hope the owner puts everything on the table when it comes to assessing this season. A clear disappointment in terms of what was expected, but then maybe this team was overrated from the get-go.

They need to keep some faith with their fans by making significant changes.

Sucks to suck! Go Riders goooo!!!!

Any idea when Campbells contract expires? I can’t find information on this. I know he is co GM/Coach but he still could lose his job. Probably a short leash next year despite the Lions having some tough QB injuries this year. They will need to trade Adams, I think he either has one year left on his contract or maybe none? Free agent?

 

[VanJack]

Even VA has admitted in the dressing-room even before the Western semi-final, that his days with the Lions are numbered.

They're apparently paying Rourke $750,000 a season; and in a tight CFL salary cap there's just no room for two high-priced QB's.

But unless they fix their O-line and D-line, it's not going to matter much. The big question is whether or not Campbell should be back.

Oh man, both BCs lost to both Saskatchewans?!

 

[trellaine201]

wow whose paying $300-$400-$500 or more to see a Grey Cup game. Yikes. And now TO is without their QB who is arguably one of the best Qbs this year.

 

[trellaine201]

Lions fired their coach Campbell. They must have someone in mind?

The baffling QB switcharoo in the middle of the season that split the locker room was the final straw I guess.......Not sure who's out there, but as you say, they must have somebody at the top of the list.

The Moj is connecting dots pointing at Buck Pierce.

Ryan Rigmaiden

Who???

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Ryan Rigmaiden

Who???

Are you thinking I was suggesting Moj was talking Buck Pierce for GM? From what I see RR is the new GM and a head coach announcement is coming whenever. Moj thinks Buck Pierce and Orlando Steinhauer are the frontrunners.

 

[VanJack]

I'd be OK with Buck Pierce, a former Lion and veteran CFL QB. Would be nice to see some new blood in the CFL coaching ranks.

But whoever the Lions end up selecting, he can only do so much with the roster he's given. Lions need to upgrade their personnel, particularly on the O-line and D-line.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

The Buck stops here.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Always liked Buck.

TSN with a nice story on Buck Pierce. 20 years ago his father drove the undrafted QB from California to a Lions free agent session in Portland, Oregon. And he showed enough to be invited to the main camp.

Now he's the head coach for the team that first gave him a shot as a CFL QB. He seems like a pretty cerebral guy.....and most QB's have a good grasp for the game. And he made a rock solid contribution as the offensive coordinator in Winnipeg.

Really hoping he has success in B.C.

Have to hope for the guy. He played through most every kind of injury including several concussions. Was a warrior and had some good years here and elsewhere so at least understand the League.

Fair weather, BC fans expect success so team is going have to show more next year if they are to retain the fan base they've partially established over the last couple of years.

Love the hire. Buck is a quality character guy with Lions history. He also brings legitimate experience, both on field and off. Team has done well here and coaching certainly won't be a weak spot next season. It's now up to Management to improve the on field personnel because the coach can only do so much with what he's given.
