DR. CFL

Rick Campbell will also be high on their list with his connections to the organization.

And GM!

It's 100% useless to speculate on a defensive coordinator before we finalize a head coach.

We've seen Burkes evaluation of players for a year and a half now and quite frankly his ability to do that sucks. 

Sammy Garza isn't even close to being among the worst.
 
Kevin Mason is the worst I saw.  Kent Austin was awful as a Blue Bomber.  Mike Quinn was horrendous, NFL west coast style passer who just couldn't make throws or read a CFL defence.  Keithen McCant, Shawn Moore both couldn't pass.  Brian Ah Yat, Jose Davis awful backups on a great team.

So, somehow being different on the management side will help us win? I doubt that. No one who is any good will work for this team the way things are set up now for all the reasons discussed.

Ego 1 and ego 2

Agree. I was also wondering about the mindset of an applicant for a head coaching position; will they choose to walk into a situation where they don't even know who their GM is going to be? If this was their only offer, I guess they'd take the leap, but if they are interviewing and being courted elsewhere, why would they choose Winnipeg, with no idea who their direct superior would be?

From top to bottom, players and coaches.....we have created an entire culture of excuse making, round these parts.   

The team has no value.  The only value is in operating the facility.

Practice does not make perfect....perfect practice makes perfect.

I don't have a problem with major decisions that clearly impact the future of the team and team finances being cleared through Miller. And I don't even mind Miller asking for a heads up on moves
The GM makes
I think what worries me is Miller being the defacto GM. I'm sure Mark Chipman is aware of moves Chevy makes but I bet Chevy doesn't have to check with Mark before he makes a trade.

Asper hired the architect that had no clue how to design a stadium. Hence some significant redesign requirements were needed....hence some huge additional cost.... Does that let him off still?

Yes.

Nothing against Miller. I have BIG issues with how our club has been managed. I want him to be different. So far, it hasn't been. 
 
Quit trying to psychoanalyze people over the internet. 

rarely.
 
As for Burke, he has himself to blame for a strong majority of this team's issues.

Miller Is definitely starting to activate my spidy senses.

So now close counts in football? As people have stated the record is the record is the record....ain't horses shoes, atom bombs, ballroom dancing, hand grenades or turd fights....close doesn't cut it.

For a moderator, you could stand to show a bit of maturity. Kids? Come on. More like 20 year Bomber season ticket holder. 

Gimme a break. They are buddies and DB works out in his gym for free.
 
Fish hasn't worked in a professional team setting in 10 years -- and in that field, being current matters. 
 
Don't believe all tire-pumping you read. Its friends helping friends.

If Walters is smart (and he seems to be) he would let Miller hire a GM and stay as AGM.  He has witnessed up close in person how many careers have been ruined in Bomber land the last few seasons.  Butchko,Crowton, Lapolice, Burke, Mack, etc. may never see another job in the CFL with the except of maybe Lapolice and possibly Burke going back to DC somewhere.  If he's smart he will sit back and learn for a few more years under what we all hope will be an experienced GM and not jump the gun to quickly and lose any respect he has gained in the league.

I know this. Comparing football to baseball is like comparing apples to oranges. Football is much more technical than baseball. If I am a coach &  I say to my personnel guy on the team that I need an offensive lineman & the guy I want must have certain traits can he find me someone quickly? If a personnel guy can't evaaluate a DVD or go to a game & isn't able to see what certain players are doing on every play then how can they find someone that a coach needs? If attending a game is just a mass of humanity in a huge pile because everything happens so fast well then there is a problem. That's why guys like Miles Gorrell or Rick Worman are hired to do those jobs because they know & understand the game at the pro level. If you guys think a plumber can come in & do an engineers job you're mistaken. Now, if someone actually can break down film & know what to look for then fine.The perfect fit for a personnel guy would be someone who knows the game at the college & pro level, has contacts & has a business degree to take care of the cap & negotiate contracts.

Who did Jim Popp, Jim Barker and Brendan Taman play for?

Worried that Miller with meddle?  He's admitted that the GM must discuss decisions with him first.  He *will* meddle.

Saw a tweet from Penton that he thinks Walters will be the next GM b/c no other viable candidates will be interested. He said they're all worried that Miller will meddle.
