The franchises sport the two longest-running championship droughts in the league — Winnipeg’s at 28 years, Hamilton’s at 19. The head coaches trying to end those dry spells say the significance of the moment isn’t lost on their teams. “As we consistently built this team from six years ago, the expectations have gotten much higher in Winnipeg,” Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea said on Wednesday. Steinauer and O’Shea are both looking for their first CFL titles as head coaches — Steinauer in his rookie year, O’Shea in his sixth. O’Shea recalled a comment made by an old head coach he had in Toronto.
