    Barrett Fired (Officially)

    Not much else to say. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. While he isn't the greatest coach in the world, he has improved immensely since he started and is definitely a man of character, who unfortunately, at times had to deal with people whose character nowhere reflected his.

    I also believe that one day Danny will win a Grey Cup as Head Coach, just not with the Riders.

    Best of luck Danny and ...

      Barrett is making a statement right now. Thanked his assistants, the players, the support staff, the fans and community ("I loves Regina" and "better, not bitter"). Pure class. That part of him will definitely be missed, but at the end of the day, he didn't get to the Grey Cup or hosted a playoff game and that is how coaches should be viewed in professional football.

        Hey, I've got no problems with that at all. But my guess is that he will be the OC, with Dave Ritchie as HC.

          I hope that's true.

          Swing pass left
          Swing pass right
          Same pass different player
          Kick ball
          I will not, for a moment longer, support an organization who chooses to cowardly kneel where they once fiercely & proudly stood

                      Riders part ways with Barrett

                      The Saskatchewan Roughriders have parted ways head coach Danny Barrett.

                      The announcement was made by general manager Eric Tillman at a news conference on Monday afternoon.

                      Barrett was 57-68 in seven seasons as head coach in Saskatchewan. The Roughriders had just one winning season under Barrett and they never hosted a playoff game.

                      Barrett's contract with the team was scheduled to expire in January, and the team will simply not renew the agreement.

                      His future with the team had been a hot topic of discussion since Saskatchewan's 45-18 loss to B.C. in the West Semifinal. It marked the third time in the last four years the team had failed to advance past the first round of the playoffs.
                      Go Eskies!

                        Isn't that DMs playbook too?

                        Bad move by the Riders. Barrett was a fine coach.

                        Most Rider fans will be happy just to have a white coach. And there next wish will be to get Maas.

                            Nah, I'd be satisfied with a coach that can get us to the Grey Cup. And last year, I would have been thrilled to have Maas, but after the year he had in Hamilton, no thanks. And BTW, your thinly veiled comment of racism in Saskatchewan is unfortunate to say the least.
