They finally have their man in Winnipeg. Sort of.
After the head coaching job was turned down by Montreal offfensive coordinator Scott Milanovich, the Bombers were down to second (and maybe third) pickings. With that in mind, they did fairly well.
LaPolice has been around the CFL for a while now, including a stint in Winnipeg in 2002 and 2003. He's been at the reins of Saskatchewan's potent offence for two seasons, and receivers coach in 2007.
Winnipeg DESPERATELY needs someone to inject some life in their moribund offence. That's right, moribund. (Shoutout to Hugh Grant there.) The first order of business should be finding a quarterback. After the Stefan LeFors fiasco, Michael Bishop actually served as a decent stopgap, but he's not a long or even medium-term answer.
Unfortunately for the Bombers, the pickings are slim. Montreal backup Adrian MacPherson wants a shot at starting somewhere, and he might be the best prospect available. Hamilton's Adam Tafralis may also be worth a look, as he won't be playing ahead of Kevin Glenn or Quinton Porter anytime soon.
