oh im sure there is a large group of us around

Hate to see someone out of work but with the state of the officiating being what it is in this league, and for all the times the Bombers got screwed because of the refs and all Higgins could muster after the fact was a "Yeah, that call should have been reversed, too late now...sorry Winnipeg!", can't really say I'm disappointed.

We will be better, take that to the bank.  While you are there take out a hun for me.  I deserve that and more for all I do.   

I would way rather have Berry then Bellefeuille or Khari

irregardless, this thread rocks!

for all intensive purposes I could of cared less what you guys think.

O'Shea marched out of presser like a man on a mission. This presser was supposed to be Friday but bumped up so he could hire #bombers staff

Don't be surprised if #bombers have key OC and DC appointments done soon #cfl #bn lots of competition for qualifies position coaches rt now

... im liking this... 

Congrats to Henoc, only Bomber to make the squad.
 
Let's hope he wants to get mentored by a fellow Canadian all-star MLB.

If we can pair Cortez up with a solid d-cordinator I'm down for giving him the job. He gets a bad rap because of what happened in Hamilton, but the offence was in the top two, and Creehan was the d-cordinator at the time, and we all saw what Creehan did here with the defence.

I like Cortez, even if he strikes me as a royal a-hole. I think he would be similar to Doug Berry, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
If we hire MB I will flip out. Do not want. I am hoping that it was more just out of courtesy.
If I am choosing out of this list I would take Cortez, O'Shea and Khari- in that order.

Before you super tolerant heros take up your pitchforks and run everyone from Morris out of the province, maybe take time to hear both sides of the story: http://townofmorris.ca/an-open-letter-to-gordon-sinclair-winnipeg-free-press/
 
Shockingly, sometimes the media paints a pretty biased and even - gasp - dishonest story.

Ya, but that's because it's always faster leaving Regina.

Not excited about the move but Walters deserves a chance & I intend to give it to him. Like 17 says, I don't believe this new team running the Bombers will get much of a honeymoon from the fans next season as winning is so imperative. Can't afford to get off to something like a 1-6 start, for example. Fans will be watching closely as far as to who Walters signs as the new HC & then  how aggressively we pursue someone like Zack Collaros & other CFL free agents as well. This off season will be so defining as a football organization to win the confidence of the fanbase back.

This whole line of discussion is absolutely ridiculous. Outside of a teams top players the bulk of the imports in the CFL are largely all interchangable pieces and the difference between every single team is comes down to 2 factors, coaching and quarterbacking. You get those two things and a team can go from **** to champions, isn't that right buddy? 

They called themselves Swaggerville in '10 as well, and had minimal roster turnover the next year. With Reed they were average at best. Burke made them great in 2011.

When we hired Tim Burke as our DC I saw it as an enormous coup for the team, considering that he was arguably the best DC in the league and had a wealth of previous coordinator experience. But it was LaPo who hired him, and if LaPo didn't think that Burke suited the team for whatever reason then LaPo wouldn't have hired him - best DC in the league or not. The point is that a Head Coach should have the freedom to choose his own staff, not have staff assigned to him no matter their credentials. My two pennies.
 
Edit: I should add that if the new HC actually wants Burke around as DC I'd be thrilled to keep him on.

Why WHY do we have to put up with Rod Black??? He was saying Steff Logan & Wess Dressler all game. He made all kinds of stupid & goofy comments. To me, he was the most annoying I've ever heard. Gawd the man is brutal!!

more likely Whyte's errant aim decided it than 1 call...
 
whatever. i just hope the Argos smash the Cats for making me watch such a craptacular ESF (and because F the lolCats... but that should go without saying...)
 
here's hoping a week Monday the front page of the sports section bears the headline "Argos lick the *******".
 
 
 
EDIT: that shouldn't be censored! i meant the word as a synonym for "cats"...

I think that had to do with Burke saying Goltz was named starter and then 1 or 2 games later they change their minds.  That's why he was so pissed at them.
 
And I wouldn't put Elliott and Goltz in the same boat.  Goltz may be great short yardage, but he's not close to being as good as Elliott.  Not that it matters any more.

I'd like to see us acquire Collaros for a 7th rounder and then hire Barker to be our GM

The total ineptitude of this organization.... to find and develop young QB's continues, it seems forever.......we finished investing 3-4 years on Elliott, Brink and Goltz....and currently end up with Boltus....
 
Gawd...
 
That said, playing Boltus in short yardage/red zone situations.....is yet another clear reason to dump the HC/OC, moving forward....

Ok, so Miller's quote is:
 
Miller:  Kyle's in charge of running the football operations, and working in that.  And this is a change that this organization is going through where we actually work together, and proper people are making the right decisions, now, in charge of players who's playing each week.  And we're getting to that process of getting the roles defined where we can all work together.
 
Media: Will you have some input on that...who's playing each week?
 
Miller:  Absolutely not.  Not my role.
 
Media: Coaching staff?
 
Miller: that's for the head coach and Kyle to decide.

This team needs to stop taking flyers on a head coach. Dickenson is by far the most qualified man and this organization needs to be sending a blank cheque to Calgary the instant their season comes to an end.
 
As far as Reed for DC goes....obviously many people forget how many big plays our defence gave up in 2010 when he had the job. A big no thanks!

Yeah, that trip to the Grey Cup was ******* BRUTAL...
