Considering Barresi is the head coach of the Ottawa Gee-Gees, I think he would say no.
 
I don't know why anyone would assume Bellefeuille is going to be the next head coach. New GM will pick the head coach.
 
 
 
He applied for both the GM and HC jobs back in 2010 iirc. And when asked about other GM vacancies over the past few years he has said he was interested so I don't see why not.

Hall is hardly the first player to wave off a replacement nor will he be the last. As far as I'm concerned that's much ado about nothing.
I don't think any CFL team would even grant permission to the Bombers to speak to one of their assistants during a season.

The actual Walters quotes or the editorializing that was done by the author of the piece? You know what Walters said? 
 
"I don't know that there needed to be fence-mending, but certainly I made a point to touch base with everybody," 
 
little different than what you're trying to say right? 

Pedersen likely made his comment about not starting the GM search already because it meant that he couldn't do another one of his Winnipeg will hire Tillman posts.

The Lions didn't offer Reilly to anyone.
 
They offered the rights to Reilly with the ability to negotiate prior to a deal to Edmonton.
They offered the rights to Reilly with no ability to negotiate prior to a deal to Winnipeg.
 
There is a HUGE difference.

I'm just going to point out something that seems completely logical to me, but it seems to get missed a lot when discussing the whole Reilly thing.
 
Reilly was a pending free agent who was known to have two teams interested in him (Winnipeg and Edmonton)
If Reilly had waited to hit free agency, his earning potential would have increased because of the potential for a bidding war.
Wally Buono opted to open trade discussions with both teams that were interested in Reilly, but only allowed Edmonton the luxury of being allowed to talk to Reilly BEFORE a trade was made.
Reilly opted to sign a contract prior to free agency and chose not to capitalize on the ability to earn more money on the open market.
 
Am I the only person here who sees how ******* obvious it is that Reilly did not want to come to Winnipeg?
 
Wally knew it. He didn't let Winnipeg talk to Reilly because Reilly would have told them he wasn't interested. Which in turn hampers his ability to use them as a negotiating tool in trade talks with Hervey. He let Edmonton talk to Reilly because getting them to ink a deal prior increases the return he could get from Hervey.
 
It's not rocket surgery here folks.

And the CFL website says it was the Winnipeg Winnipegs who were nicknamed the 'Pegs. http://cfl.ca/greycupcentral/year/1935 And the Bombers website say 10. http://www.bluebombers.com/page/grey_cups
 
The Winnipeg Football Club was founded in 1930. Changing the name of the team from the Winnipegs to the Blue Bombers doesn't change the fact that the Winnipeg Football Club has won 10 Grey Cups.

Anyone going to the practice?

Didn't the original rumours say Mack was forcing LaPo to hire an OC and give up play calling and then after Crowton struggled it morphed into Mack forced Lapo to hire Crowton.
In other words it was the brother of a woman who lives next door to the sister of a roofer who worked on Crowton's neighbour's house.
Your wife wouldn't happen to be named Carrie, would she?

That's ridiculous. Tillman traded his starting QB once before and it turned out okay so he thought he could do it again but failed miserably. He also has a history of surrounding himself with players and coaches he knew and/or brought into the league and in this case that was Jyles.

I also find it hard to evaluate any of the talent on O with the Crowton here.

The media who cover the CFL is a small group and they all know each other so the constant whining and complaining about Mack by Penton, Friesen, Lawless, etc would very likely have influenced their perception of Mack just like it influenced the perception of some Bomber fans. 
 
 
 
I've seen so many comments from fans who talked to Mack either at the fan forum or at practices and I can't recall anyone (even the ones who didn't like the job he was doing) saying anything but good things about him personally. 
 
Personally I think the Winnipeg print media have this sense of entitlement and if someone says no to them they behave like toddlers in the throws of a temper tantrum.

I believe contracts and SMS management were also a part of Hodgkinson's duties going back to when he was first named assistant GM before Mack was hired.

He likes you too.

Boycotting, imo, has been and always will be an idiotic thing to do. Support the players.
 
As for paper bags, I remember a story that was told about Richard Harris ripping into a couple of "fans" who were wearing paper bags on their head. I'm going from memory but he said something to the effect that if you have something to say then be man enough to do it without hiding your face.

The overall plan failed and that sucks. But there were parts of the plan like acquiring draft picks instead of trading them away and trying to improve our NI talent that were not a failure. Building from within is a good plan in theory rather than going the Taman route and overpaying aging vets. Yeah our overall record under Mack was crap and I'm not broken up that he was fired but I'm also not going to re-write history to say everything he did was bad.

I agree. I can remember the reports saying sources in Calgary said the Stamps wanted Chris Matthews and then changed to wanting our second overall pick in the 2013 draft for Glenn.

In all my years as a Bomber fan I can't remember ever being this disenchanted with a head coach.

He's listed on the roster as a receiver and has been playing as a receiver. There was one game this season when they had to pull him as a receiver to stand on the sidelines as a back-up but that was after injuries to other QBs meant they had no back-up.

Yeah my memory was playing tricks. Found a picture of the house I lived in and it didn't. 

Still re-writing history I see.

Then why was he dressed last night?
