I have grave concerns if this Hall move has been made by Miller himself. I do NOT want a President meddling in on-field stuff. Hire the right coaches and player personnel folks and let them do their damn job...

Gonna be interesting to see what tomorrow's practice is like...

Trust me...living in Southern Alberta is not fun, when you hate the Riders and Stamps as much as we do. So many of each team's fans, it's literally sickening.

I prefer to think of Joe Mack's legacy as one of the best scouts we've ever had.

They've been talking about this for weeks now. Just a guy to look at film and give a bit of input. Nothing to do with the Mack/Buchko stuff. Smart to get a successful CFL OC to lend a helping hand.

I don't consider riding our current stable "writing off this year". We're right in the thick of the terrible East Div. No reason we couldn't make playoffs with what we've got.

Dude's worse than Buck, 'cause not only is he as injury prone, but he's an ******* to boot.....eff 'im...

Joe Mack was building this team for long term sustainability right down to the bitter end. He took on a dirty job that most couldn't stomach, and left this team in WAY better shape than it shoulda been considering what Kelly did to it. Mack kept draft picks and did the best he could with em to build for the future. I respect the hell outta that man for sticking to his guns and always doing things his way. That's a man's man right there. He's now taken the bullet for what I believe is the long term betterment of this franchise.

Everybody wants to be the guy who turned around this mess and finally ended that drought. Would be a huge coup...

I'm basically just searching #Bombers on Twitter and, if you've got the stomach for it, there's lots in there from all the reporters and the mostly-idiot fans. Ugh. Another question: What's our best course of action re: GM. Do we bring in a guy now, so he can start working on things and getting a feel for the team, as Tillman did with the Riders, or do we just let Walters run things the rest of the way, and then worry about the GM in the offseason?

appreciate the Miller insight, guys...thanks!

Well, some stuff I've read suggests that Buchko himself was the leak, and that's why he's been canned...

So, does anyone know much about Miller's personality? I've read a few things online today suggesting that Miller's an ******* hothead in the mold of Mike Kelly, which kinda frightened me a little bit. Anyone confirm or deny?

Yeah...what does it even mean??

Has kind of a year round tan....

Wow wow wow......I don't hate this....

Yeah, pretty much. Twitter is making me feel this way as much as anything. So. Many. MORONS.

Based on how this firing went down, there can be no question that business ops is by far our biggest issue right now...

As a business operations consultant, he just might...

Irving also reporting that Wade Miller is going to have a very prominent role with the team going forward...

680 CJOB Sports ‏@CJOBSports34s BREAKING: The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have fired GM Joe Mack. @680CJOB

Henry Burris is 2nd only to Jarome Iginla in Calgary, in terms of beloved athletes. A lot of the "angst" toward Tate has always been "You're not Hank...."

Regardless, they need to take care of this **** show ASAP, one way or another. Either can him or don't, but the speculation is only going to do further damage. I can't stand the negativity surrounding this team, and how it makes us look throughout the league...

Dave and I were saying: "Watch 'em hire Forde in the off-season, just to keep Lawless happy and then eff the rest of us in the ass..." Ugh...

Interesting stuff, but really seems like hiring another Mack. Would love to see him as an AGM to someone like Higgins or at least someone with a more recent CFL background...
