Hey I like Walters. I do. I hope he succeeds big time.
 
But this just reeks of 'same old same old'. 
 
This is not the change we (I ) was looking for. 

Miller's looking for a GM...

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

But thats no fun!  I prefer speculating based on unsubstantiated rumors!  lol

Have these people learned nothing from Mr Scott? Always under-promise and over-deliver. How else will people think you're a miracle worker.

Pretty sure there was the same reaction when Mack was hired by some. Not worried. Imwt and all that.
Walters seems like a good football man to have in the organization, but i fail to see how he is any bit qualified to handle such an enormous task as transforming a horrible team that has been mostly crap since 2008 into a highly competitive team that push for division champions each year.
Cis coach to shitty st coach to assistant GM to intermin GM, Not seeing the cfl experience in building a great team from the dog pile we currently are. Sure he has CIs experience but how does that translate into the cfl?
I rather someone like Higgins or someone with similar amounts of experience helping manage teams that have turned from crap into top 4 teams in the league.
Settling with Walters May turn out to be great, but i don't understand our perpetual gravitation to rookie management hires..

Just playing the odds, they have screwed it up so many times it is hard to believe without major changes, anything will change.

Right, and this goes without saying in most cases.  Yet look at how many doctors, politician, businessmen, etc...who supposedly "know their field" are nothing but corrupt individuals out to line their own pockets and not care about the people their suppose to be protecting?  The doctor that does nothing but fill out prescriptions, the politician who does nothing but spend tax payers money for their own benefit, or the businessman who uses your ideas or steps all over their employees just to get ahead?  All these people are so called "experts", yet you still have to question everything they do.  All the promises they make (FYI I just picked those 3 off the top of my head...but you could put any job profession in there).  The sad truth is, the Bomber Team has been screwed over for many many years by these so called "experts".  Our team is in shambles.  How can we sit idly by and just let them hurt our team when their "expertise" is giving us the heebee geebees?  All we're trying to do here (well some of us anyway) is logically figure out why they're making the decisions they are.  After 20 years of messing things up with a few good years thrown in, it's inevitable that we're going to question every move they make.
 
You're right, we're not experts, but we love our team and we're passionate about them.  And most of all, we want to see them succeed.

That sounds dumb.  Why would someone not be happy to be offered a promotion?

Can people please post links to where they "heard" such and such a person is not interested in the Bombers?  I see so many of these quotes it makes me wonder who here is making **** up and who's telling the truth.
 
Link me up with where it says Higgins is not interested in joining the Bombers.

It's all speculation, but perhaps Walters has already been deemed by Miller to "not be the guy" to sit in the GM chair, so for now he's making the announcements.
 
Also, everyone keeps saying that Miller shouldn't be hiring anyone without the GM...except that he hasn't hired anyone yet.  It's just us speculating and rumor mongering.  Nothing has even happened yet to our knowledge so as of this moment, Miller is still telling the truth.  That the new GM will hire the Coach.  Doesn't mean he won't start figuring out who's out there that might be interested so that when they do hire the GM he can say "here are the candidates interested...go get em.  If you want to try the ones that said no again, be my guest."  OR, perhaps the new GM will also be HC and take on the dual role.
 
As of this moment we just don't know.

OK, I'm not sure, exactly, if this is where posters are getting answers to their questions, but it seems just as reliable.

Nice to know Friesen hangs out here to get his predictions. 
 
Some of us were predicting that over a week ago. 

No, the joy is in the fact that we're getting a new head coach, not that he was fired.  I'd actually liked to have seen him stay on as DC.  But whatever.  He ****** up big time...and he did it often.  So, buh bye.

Yes but Troy was always convinced he could make a field goal.

Khari as HC? 
 
No thank you.
 
Love the guy, not a HC, at least not yet. Maybe in 5 or 6 years .... 
 
Please don't let this be true.

I just don't believe that a rookie GM and a rookie CEO led by a broken board of directors is what this team needs right now... or ever.

If there was some sort of situation where the coach wouldn't be forced, and would actually WANT Burke as the DC, I'd be all for it. Just as his track record as a head coach speaks for itself, so does his track record as a DC. I'd be all for it only if it was something all parties mutually wanted.

Don't forget to start taking a knee for no apparent reason. 

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.

This is exactly why many of were upset, that a proven short-yardage QB, Goltz, was ignored in order for the Coach to prove a point, and ignore the obvious choice, in favour of the "I'm the HC -look at my power" choice, even after it was clearly evident, and even after many questioned why the switch wasn't being made, he still stuck to that stupid decision.

But Brandon, how does that fit into our fan forum plans?
