Tu as raison le but final c’est qu’il appelle les jeux dès le début de la saison et qu’il détermine alors sa façon de procéder.

Agreed. The AC thing is also good because it shows that there is room for growth on the coaching staff.
Now if Thorpe could maybe do the same with his defensive position coaches, that would be great.

Bryan Wyllie assistant entraîneur à la défensive, était en 2025 à sa première expérience professionnelle.
Je préfère un entraîneur comme A.J. Gass, 50 ans, ancien joueur de la CFL,qui a été assistant entraîneur chez les Eskimos 2008-2009 et 2019-2020, entraîneur-chef au niveau High school 2010-2014 et 2015-2018 et entraîneur au niveau universitaire avec les Goldens Bears de l’Aberta de 2021 à 2025……comme consultant à la défensive, entraîneur des unités spéciales et des secondeurs.
Avec les jeunes joueurs des Alouettes à la défensive c’est un plus et il pourrait être un jour la relève comme coordonnateur défensif si N. Thorpe quitte les Alouettes pour un poste d’entraîneur-chef.

John Hodge said he is lead to believe that Charleston Rambo is currently more focused on the NFL rather than the CFL.
I’m probably off with the Mack association, Sterns is more a replacement for Rambo.
Very good coach but this organization needs a dash of “Remember the Titans”. This staff is whiter than a 1960’s College football team. I called out Kavis for this. I have no choice but to call out Maciocia… Was called a racist then, so won’t be offended. Have at it.

I’ll certainly defend you on that. It is true. I think we have one of the whiter coaching staffs league-wise. More diversity is needed.

That would make sense as he is one of the more talented receivers still on the board.

I don’t really care beyond saying that I want good coaches staffing my team.
Their skin colour; religious beliefs (if any); sexual orientation; hair colour; eye colour; etc etc are of no particular relevance to me.

Oh well, if they mix up ‘then’ and ‘than’, or say ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’, you can be assured I’ll be all over them!

Félicitations R. Cibasu pour ton nouveau contrat.
Bravo D. Maciocia pour cette signature.
J’espère que les Alouettes pourront signer C. Rambo, un receveur talentueux A 6´1 185 livres 26 ans 40 verges 4.57.
Après une très bonne saison en 2024, 18 parties 61/91 (67%) pour 808 verges moyenne 13.2 5 touchés, ses statistiques ont baissé en 2025, 17 parties 54/86 (62,7%) pour 585 verges moyenne 10.8, 3 touchés.
Avec le départ de A.Mack,il pourrait être le receveur #3 des Alouettes en 2026.
I think the position on this topic is very much viewed differently by Generational groups. Not taking a hit at your age Jack but your mind was formed more than half a century ago. I am not fare behind but anyone under 35 attaches importance to diversity, representation and values that did not exist when we mattered. Even the League loves to promote itself this way.

Maciocia has been on the job since 2020. At this point, the brutal lack of diversity in coaching and even football ops is 100% evidence of racism. Particularly centred on Black American coaches. I can point to many examples, some of which I’ve done in the past.
Before white and white-aligned folks scream, racism is a structure. It is a system that works largely unconsciously. I’m not pointing to Klansmen in white hoods. I’m talking about networks of influence, who you’re unconsciously more comfortable with, the neighbourhood you live in which mediates the type of faces you see everyday, who gets the promotion, who “isn’t a good fit,” all of that. People of colour are not immune either – some of the most racist people I know are brown people like me.
The difference between how Chad Kelly and Shawn Lemon were punished is absolutely reflective of racism as a structure.
There has been decades and decades of scholarly work done on this subject, much of it by Black scholars. It is not debatable. It is a reality. If you waste my time and energy arguing about settled fact, then you are part of the problem. So do not waste my time.
Learn to listen when POC speak on this. Listen and check yourself. If you can’t do that, do not bother to reply to me. I will not respond.

A wise man for whom I have the utmost respect once said that he had a dream that one day his children would be judged not on the colour of their skin but on the content of their character.
I share that sentiment.

Racism is real and it is structural. I have a Black wife and an Asian son. I see it.
I had a black wife (Guyana, South America) for several years; after her I was married for many years to a Filipina until cancer took her away. Since then I have been spending shall we say ‘quality time’ with three nice women, each of whom is Chinese and each of whom is blissfully unaware of the others’ existence (so far anyway). So I have a strain of racism in my personal life; just no use in particular for white women.
Is it real and structural? Certainly. And I don’t believe any race is exempt from having some members who are racist against “others”.
And I particularly agree with this:
Because that is so true. My example is that I was unaware, personally, of any lesbian couple until one year my late wife and I were on a cruise of the Norway fjords, met a lesbian couple from Belgium on the ship, and we rather quickly became very close friends, they are such delightful people (and even though we are an ocean apart they were so solicitious of my well being when my wife passed). It really opens your eyes when you meet people who are ‘different’ than you.
