Just handing the job to Burke was the single biggest mistake Joe Mack ever made. That 52-0 labour day game and the one 2 weeks later were enough for me to say "yeah this guy isn't a good option at head coach" let alone that stupid ******* punt call in the banjo bowl. Then he goes and tells the world it's PIerce as his qb and only PIerce cut the guys with experience. Just one mistake after another.
Post of the day

I'd be ok with that. The guy might be nuts but if he can stay healthy he's just what we need.
-
Pure speculation:
I'm willing to bet that the 'leak' was Butchko himself.
Ask yourself this - what benefit does a member of the WBB board get by leaking information to Lawless? Nada.
Butchko on the other hand, is a radio guy, understands the value of the information he holds and can dole it out to guys who a) He either owes a favour to from past experience or
may be able to curry favour from in the future if he gets back into radio. The fact that Lawless has always been soft on the guy makes it worse. -
What's ridiculous about it?
You can't simply 'clear the entire board'. That's not how Boards function, and for good reason. First of all, there's no one to do the 'clearing'. Nor can the Board members simply all resign at the same time. It's ridiculous that you seem to think that the board can just magically be reset somehow because there was an alleged breach of confidentiality.
But you keep hunting those witches
-
If they're actually serious about getting rid of the leak, they should clear the entire board, guaranteeing that the one who leaked the news will be gone. This "If we ever find out who did it, there will be consequences" is just the same hot air as we've heard from the board a hundred times. They are not interested in real change, just keeping their spots.
That's ridiculous.
-
I see the title has been changed to "Buchko resigns". Has this been clearly stated somewhere? And does that mean WBB don't have to pay him?
I don't blame him if he quit given the supidity of the BOD and the leak. Also disagree with those here who think he should not have told the board of his intention to ask for the firing. That was the proper move instead of blindsiding the BOD at a regular meeting and having them sit there not having had the chance to think about it first. That one of the members leaked it is not on Buchko.
I doubt very much if he quit. That would mean we wouldn't have to pay him anymore. He was fired, I guarantee it. The 'mutual decision' spin is just that, spin in order to save face.

Miller bustin out the cliche train here.
Not a very good public speaker lol
Anti-Buchko.

Wade bleeds blue and gold. No bullshit. I like it.
-
Where will Wade be getting his prominent role? On the board or on the team? Isn't it a bit of a conflict considering Pinnacle is a big sponsor of the Bombers and his brother being a REF in the CFL? Maybe it won't be but i'd like to know what role he will be getting.
Well you're going to find out in about ten minutes

What the bleep has Walters ever been successful at that he keeps getting promoted?
-
This team is so F%@$#*d up it's not even funny any more.
-
That isn't the way things are done. Even if you could just say that, the documentation that must be sent to Board members well before the meeting would spell out exactly what the meeting would be about. There are procedures that have to be followed.
Bullshit. A simple, vague agenda is all that is required, if even that. He'll the meeting could even take place by conference call if the can get a quorum.
-
Even though I live in the south end, I can't argue with this.
It wasn't just the location, but the plans they had would have been huge for the City, Province and even the fans, although I wasn't crazy about the toilet bowl design.
Bombers Place anyone
Not to drag up old arguments, but you guys are dead wrong on this. There's a reason this land is still undeveloped. It STINKS. Literally. The mushroom plant is across the street. Rothesay rendering is around the corner. Plus TRAINS. I worked right there for a decade. That idea was laughable,and the stadium design was a bare-bones joke. Don't pretend we aren't way ahead being where are today, because that site would not survive and would have been the laughingstock of the stadium world, never mind the cfl.
-
Burn it to the ground and start again.
And as odd as it. Sounds (to me anyway) I completely agree that Wade Miller of all people would be an interesting choice for CEO. The plug has a pretty good head on his shoulders.
-
Crap. Hope (if true) that Higgins is the next GM. He brings a lot to the table and is a classy guy to boot.
Part of me wishes the BOD turn the tables on Botchko and turf him instead of Mack though
-
I have a game worn jersey that I won in the early 90's - I think it's a Michael Richardson (#31, royal blue)
-
I'm sure they would be, it would just be extremely risky.
Sorry, I meant sign FA's coming off a contract, not draft.
-
I don't think Ottawa will be allowed to draft FA's coming off a contract. That simply wouldn't make sense.
-
what are the contract statuses of those players? Which ones are upcoming FAs?
I'm not sure (Glenn may be a FA?) and you're right - if Ottawa can secure a Glenn through FA then that would throw everything out. But I suspect the league has a restrictive plan for FAs, otherwise the door would be wide open for shenanigans.
-
Let's face it - the Bombers first round pick this year is likely to be a gooder. From the Bomber's standpoint it may be tough to give that up for a guy we've barely seen play. They may be more interested in a more proven commodity like Tate (I'm not saying that would be a good idea)
From a personal standpoint however I liked what I saw, and a Collaros / Goltz tandem would be something I would be pretty happy going into next year with.
And no, there is zero chance that Ottawa picks Goltz if given the opportunity at this point. If he starts a bunch of games and lights it up that can change.
RebusRankin - although I say Collaros I'd be happy enough with any of Collaros, Willy, Mitchell etc. I honestly wouldn't know how to rank them at this point, and I think it will come down to who is available and their asking price.
-
Holoman - I thought about that too, as Ottawa would be unlikely to pick Burris. However if for some reason they DID pick him (instead of Glenn) then Hammy would be left without a starter of any merit. And really the chances of Ottawa picking a LeFevour are pretty slim with better options available, so I think they protect Burris - just to protect the CFL experience he brings.
And Mike - what do you think would be an appropriate price for Collaros?
