Thinking about this.
If the Bombers had a better HC in mind at the time, the firing would have been fine. But letting him go mid-season and promoting Burke was a bad move. In hindsight, they would have been better to hang onto Lapo until seasons end and then do a search for a real HC. Not someone who doesn't know offense.
And I think this is where we are at right now. If there is not another HC who can be hired and take over right away, then stick with Burke, keep him away from the media (man he say's some dumb things, not Mike Kelly dumb, but stuff to make you shake your head) and start a search for nexts years HC.
We can still get a playoff game or two this year given the quality of the league right now (wtf is up with that?) but this is not another GC year no matter who is in charge.
And I did figure out the lack of GC's is my fault. Last one we had was the year before I got married. So as long as my marriage stays good, we won't win a GC.
