You can lead Mack to Walters but you can't make him think.

Yeah well, that's like, your opinion, man

Mike neither confirms nor denies his hat is in the ring for GM.
 
Thus my rumor still stands.

Duron Carter

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Really? I likened him more to Doug Flutie with some height but no arm.
 
... what a weird comparison

Isn't Goltz like 6'5 and fast while Russell Wilson is like 5'10 average speed but strong arm?

At this point the team is such a mess it's really hard to draw conclusions about how good or bad these players are.

When Jim Popp was hired by the Als, he had 1 year of prior player personnel experience.  Prior to that he was a receivers coach.   
 
When John Hufnagel was hired by the Stamps as head coach and GM.  His only player personnel experience was 2 years  with  the Arena league.   
 
When Wally Buono was hired as the GM of the BC Lions.  That was his first player personnel job, previous CFL positions were all in a coaching roll. 
 
When Jim Barker was hired by the Stamps in 2005.  This was his first GM position as well.     
 
So history shows that GM's can be successful without previous experience.     Also all of these guys were hired by teams who were struggling at the time.

So it's really no different than the usual process, except they had names emailed to them to choose from.  So really they could have just appointed anyone they wanted, not a public process at all.

In all the losing what has been the constant. Players no. Coaches no. GM's no. Presidents CEO's no. Ineffective boards yes.

Sucks for Buchko... Jim Bell was around when Mack was hired, Bell was around when we were told the stadium would be ready for 2012 (before Buchko) and Buchko gets all the flack cause of his frosted tips.

Oh good...I was worried you'd choose the mad cow disease!  Now, if the moon was made outta blue cheese....wouldja eat it??

Would you rather be the top scientist in your field, or have mad cow disease?

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. 

I'm sorry to be insulting, but this is one of the pointless, if not the most pointless poll question I've seen in my 10 or so years on CFL message boards. 

Don't you all understand what's happening here? Wade Miller is going to be the GM. You don't try to hire a director of player personnel without first having a GM.... Miller is that GM.

Buck Pierce beating the Riders in Regina in the Western Semi would make the 2013 season the equivalent of an M. Night Shyamalan picture: awful beginning and middle leads to a crazy satisfying end that no one saw coming. But ultimately, the thing as a whole was still shitty.

Yep he's already gone

I'd take Harris in a heartbeat.  He is a good starting NI and we NEED better starting NI's.  The fact that he is from Winnipeg would probably sell tickets and we need to sell tickets, especially after this season.  The fact that he's had an off year, would help in contract negotiations, so he might not even be a huge cap hit.  Even if he is, he'd be worth it IMHO.

Don't care so much about the draft pick being 2nd or 3rd.  More worried that 2 late wins will allow Burke to keep his job.

He's proven himself as a GM.  He's a mediocre coach, but he's proven he can hire the right coaches and support staff, stay out of the way and find players.
