If any fans had any doubt about how Buck Pierce views the role of HC and what kind of team he wants to build, this 19 minute presser will do it - including his connection to the entire football operations group. I hope the Lions publish the transcript. As a CFL and BC Lion fan I always listen carefully to what new HC's say as to clues to their understanding of the role. Buck just presented a masterclass and I didn't see him reading from notes. This is a great day for the BC Lions and for the CFL.
Remember watching Peirce as the QB for BC and there were good and bad times but the recent Grey Cup experiences will definitely help him become the next Mike O Shea. Cheers from Edmonton!
mmmm.... so Edmonton and BC both hired GM and HC and each press conference videos are exactly the same in length. Both 19 and 24 min in length.... coincidence???? I think not!
Sounds like a lot of coaching positions might be changing/ very possible that Buck could be both Head Coach and OC; NO talk of Benevides, Bates,or Maksymic.; have to wait and see..
I hope he doesn’t struggle from going from doer to leader, already said he wants to call some plays, leave the play calling to the OC, we hired you as coach

Welcome back to BC Buck!
Congratulations Buck!
Hoping BC gets back to the 2023 team that looked like they where on there way to prominence.
Argooooooooos🏈
Buck had injury issues but he was a ferocious competitor and that is what most excites me about his hiring.
Hopefully Buck rebuilds the o line. It starts there and then the defence.

Time for the Bombers offence to light it up! Limited play book the last 2-3 years!
Was my first pick on the list. 😊
He’s very nervous! I don’t think this is going to go well!
To me he didn't sound nervous as much trying to hold back tears/emotions.
His stutter is not a sign of nervousness. It's a speech disorder.
sometimes being too relaxed is worse. nerves means he takes it seriously...
