SATURDAY MORNING MUSINGS

A few nocturnal thoughts on the Saskatchewan Roughriders . . .

• Watch for Bob Wylie to replace Mike Gibson as the Roughriders' offensive line coach. Gibson was recently hired as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' offensive co-ordinator. Wylie, who has a wealth of coaching experience (especially in the NFL), spent the past two seasons as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' offensive line coach.

• The Roughriders are also looking for a defensive co-ordinator now that Richie Hall has become head coach of the Edmonton Eskimos. The early betting is that Gary Etcheverry will be named defensive co-ordinator. Failing that, how about Dave Ritchie? He could also resurface on the Roughriders' staff as the assistant head coach.

• Great news: George Reed and his wife, Angie, are to return to Regina in February. Reed has been hired as a corporate event host for the Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation. Reed has resided in Calgary since 1984. Welcome back, No. 34.
