There is no way they can be stupid enough to retain Burke, absolutely no way.
-
The highlight of the weekend will be taking this bomber team out back and putting them out of their misery.
-
I don't necessarily think Kyle is wrong for the job but no way he's the most qualified. Remember, he only got the AGM job because Joe wanted to protect his own hide by having a someone in that chair who was completely unqualified to take over from him.
not this **** again.... You wanna throw accusations like that out there let's have some proof, otherwise we can just assume that Walters got that job cause he was a good choice for it. The fact that Miller is adamant that he wants to keep Walters around no matter the role should be an indication that he's a good option for it.

Well that'd be awfully ironicmeh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such.
lol touche.. but burkes only been a hc for how long? mistakes are to be expected unfortunately..
such an apologist... These aren't just rookie mistakes, this is a serious flaw in the attitude of a head coach.Burke has been in charge for over a year and a half! how long does the "he's just knew" excuse fly? No at this point we know exactly what kind of head coach Burke is and he's not a very good one. Can't get his players motivated, has no idea how to manage a game or a roster. Fire him immediately after the game ends and then this team can focus on moving forward.
-
I dunno everything from Miller in that piece seems to indicate to me that Miller prefers some one other than Walters for the GM role. Lawless is just spinning his own opinions as facts here which is nothing new.
-
burke wants to sit players who don't put in the effort that's fine, but there's no need to drive the bus over them... but then again the only thing burke seems able to do as a coach is toss players under the bus. He has to go cause you can't have a coach that willing to absolutely bury players.
-
yeah honestly Boltus getting the start might have been a good thing. Might have finally made them realize that he's not worth keeping around.
-
Yeah Durant is a talented qb, but man is he a princess when it comes to his coaches. Without his grandpa Miller around he just doesn't seem to give a **** what any coach wants him to do. Doug Berry offense he threw for like 5500 yards and ran for another 500 but still Berry had to be run out of town, makes no sense to me.
-
I usually don't look at these but just thought it painted a nice picture of the Bombers' season. Hmm something really went wrong around week 7....
You fire the GM and things just head right into the tank...
-
well that's debatable, there were a few years there when I don't think he was too out of place as the teams #1.

Consider all the coaches and GM's they've been paying not to coach. They've been over spending with poor results
This is exactly it, they've been spending a ton on the coaches and GMs lately, just that they've been paying multiple people while only one does the job. It doesn't save any money to cheap out on hirings. Hire the best people and pay them what it takes and you'll make more money in the long run.

Exactly, yeah the offense improved lately with Bellefeuile, but so what? We have an opportunity here to clean house and get the absolute best people possible, don't squander that because well he's here already...I've got nothing against MB, but like Dave says, why settle for "Well, we could do worse..." ?? Why not shoot for the best?? Certainly, MB isn't the worst option, but there's also a lot better, and that's what I want...
And all I'm saying is not to automatically dismiss Bellefeuille just because he's here. He may be the best coach available in certain areas.
Craig Dickenson may just be the best special teams coach in the CFL. By your logic we should get rid of him, just so we can ''clean house'. That's faulty logic in my opinion.
yeah and Dickenson is the one guy I've said I want to keep, here's the difference, Dickenson is widely regarded as one of the best ST coaches in the league where as Bellefeuille has never been regarded as one of the best offensive coordinators, not even close.
The worst thing that this team can do is stand pat cause there were some late season improvements. We did that last year and look how that worked.

id not have a problem if we let it ride at the offensive coordinator position for at least the first third of next season..
of course you wouldn't, you'd support anything the Bombers did. MB is known around the CFL and I want to aim higher than a guy who peaked at mediocre.
-
the guy has had poor offenses in his past stops, just because there's been little improvements the last couple weeks does not mean he's an offensive genius, just that there was a real low bar to step over. Let's set our sights higher than this guy.

I had to go out last night so I didn't see the entire game but before I left Pierce looked like the same old Pierce he was in Winnipeg, musta pulled his head out of his ass after I left.

I got no problems adding Worman to the staff.

Burke on the last Argo TD:
That last TD pass, I told (Argos head coach) Scott Milanovich: 'We practiced that all week long because I knew you were going to go to it after watching last week's film.' But (Bombers nickelback) Desia (Dunn) was supposed to take it away and he was hurt. And the guy who replaced him didn't know that position. And in a short week, you don't get to practice everybody. It was just one of those things."
Coaches are so bad they can't even make their players aware of their responsibilities if they have to fill in in case of an injury... and we wonder why this team sucks?
So your expectation of the coaching staff is to make sure that Brandon Stewart, who never practiced at the nickel knew every possible passing scenario the instant Dunn went down? The same Brandon Stewart who got two objectionable conduct penalties on one play?
If it's something that the coaches KNEW was going to be used then yes, they should have made sure everyone knew the possibilities. If Stewart is the backup to that position he's gotta be aware of how to actually play the position.

Finding truly elite runningbacks is not easy at all,if it was every freaking team would have one, right now onlw sask and calgary have that. 2 out of 8 teams...
yet every team has a guy who can carry the rock well enough to win... many teams have more than one. Finding the truly elite guys at any position is not easy, but finding guys who can play RB for ya effectively? Those are dime a dozen.
-
oh please if you need an american runningback you just go down to the pound and pick one out. Easiest position to find ever.
- Onyenegecha and Blue-urns

Final weekend...meaningless...

Those are the people who just blindly parrot what they read in the newspapers and since the papers are all so keen to bash Mack and shelter Burke (presumably because they like Burkes lack of ability to filter his comments to the media) But keeping Burke on would be a disaster no matter how you slice it because this team will never win with Tim Burke as head coach and losing teams don't fill the stadium.
