My memory might be hazy but did
Montreal not have a pretty good offense under Berry?

I've been saying for awhile that's a potential dream team as far as coordinators. Berry as OC. Burke as DC.

I dont believe for one second that the GM will have sole responsibility for picking the Head Coach.  If the HC is Khari, that decision was made awhile go by Wade Miller.

No joy in a good, decent person being fired.  Good move for the Bombers but Tim Burke is a real person who just lost a dream job.

Miller rubs me the wrong way.  The GM will select the HC?  Just like the GM will fire the current coach?  Miller said football ops would be up to the GM, then he said football ops decisions are made after discussing with him first.  Who's he trying to fool?  "The GM will hire the coach...that I tell him to hire" is more accurate.

Hey I heard about Khari as HC two weeks ago...but that was chalked up to "drunk friends", nevermind that the source was a member of team management.
 
Anywho, the fact Khari could be the new HC might be the worst kept secret in the CFL so why would Dickenson say he wants the job if he knows Khari has it?
 
Also, I'd like to give credit to Burke for being pretty classy about this DC thing. The guy got fired and is saying he's interested in staying on in a demotion and saying all the right things.  Good on him.
 
Id also keep Creehan in a lesser role especially if Burke stays on.

Didnt the team announce just last week that thet werent allowed to make any moves until after the Cup?  Obviously they were wrong, but that was their own statement.  Didnt Miller just say like two days ago it would be 3-5 weeks to find a GM and *then* the GM would make the coaching decision?

Does anyone thing Wade Miller would ask for permission to speak to Khari or would he just discuss it over a booster juice.
I wasn't sold on Wade before and it's getting worse.

considering I told you the source in confidence that's a stunningly dickish thing for you to write. Doubt it of you want but that's pretty low. Class act mike.

What rumors?

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.

The last thing I want is the fans electing board members.

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

I do think they will retain Walters as GM and I think the team will be vastly improved as a result.

Wait wait wait. Boltus has been in the CFL for FOUR years????? Holy cow. Can we please put him in a big box and send him somewhere far away?

Also Sins-walker is a beast. And Max Hall still deserves to be here next season.

I'm not even discussing the pros and cons of keeping Burke but any of you fools that think he should say "well I think I should be fired" are crazy. No doubt he'd have a better record with a better team.
Then again we would have a better record if we had kept Lapo and part of the reason for that is Burke would still be our DC

Yup. So looks like he's a 24 year old Canadian with upside and a three year contract.
Anyone who thinks this is a bad trade is nuts
Next up, Muamba.
