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

Well Tillman is in Hamilton and he and Austin are tight so odds are Danny Mac is on the hunt for a new job so there likely is some validity to this story at least from Danny's perspective.

God you're dull

I'm certain that was sarcasm. And it was hilarious. Lol

I think people are just tired of 'Unfinished Rebuilds'.

I like O'Shea as HC material for many of the same reasons Atomic gave. He just seems like he'd be a good leader. If he could surround himself with quality assistants (Jones & Burke?) we might have something.

I feel better about that than Khari as HC, though Mike would have a tough job ahead of him. 
 
Mike is very smart though. Interesting. 

Uh, are those things happening in the next six days?

I still think Miller is a great fit for CEO of the club and while I'm leery of his side businesses getting a lot of contracts with the team, I think his business savvy will only help.
 
But the quicker he hires an experienced GM who's been in similar rebuilds to direct this team (and get the hell out of the spotlight) the better.
 
Playing 10 years in the league makes you a smart player and experienced teammate (and much more knowledgable than the average fan) but it doesn't mean you can coach and certainly doesn't mean you can GM.

What other winning cfl football teams have the CEO making football operation decisions beyond selecting the GM ?
The bombers have been horrible, top to bottom for the last 5 years.. We need to start follow winning examples from around the league....
Try radical coaching and GM experiments have consistently failed going back to rienbold, Kelly, Burke and Mack and even buck (player moves). So maybe they should stop and go " hmmm. Maybe we are the issue and should build the team with experienced cfl coaches and management teams"

What is far more relevant is that CC went to a team with a decent roster, capable GM, and above average QB, and surrounded himself with a lot of experienced coordinators. 
 
KJ will be arriving to a deleted roster, no QB, no GM (certainly not one who chose him), and at this rate will have to scramble to find coordinators. 

I would agree that a Wally Buono or Huffer would've extracted more talent out of this group. 
 
That said, a Wally or Huffer would never have hitched the wagon to Bucky and then Goltz -- whether that was Mack or Burke or a mutual thing, it killed this team. 

I swear, Miller's comments to the media -- or the way the media is interpreting or presenting his comments -- are going to, or have already, scare any qualified potential GMs away. 
 
The more the impression builds that he is going to be "hands on" the more he will be left with a handful of nomads, has-been failures, or sock puppets.....
 
Which is maybe what he wants -- if you drive away all your candidates so you're left with Tillman, three rolls of tape, and Walters, I guess Walters wins the race. 

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

Khari Jones with a sock-puppet of a GM being prodded by a highly "motivated" CEO is not a good situation. 
 
Wade should hire a quality football man and then get the firetruck out of football ops. 
 
Work on biz development and revenue streams.

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.

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.

As someone who knows Wade lets just say the odds of him "staying outta the football side" are somewhere between slim and none. 
 
He'll be in his GM's ear whenever he sees fit, which for him makes a sock puppet the ideal GM -- or Walters. 

....which means we are either strongly considering retaining Burke or an an organization we don't know our arse from our elbow. 

Correct. It's always been GC week only. Which makes sense. 
 
Props to the Eskimos for getting a jump on their re-build. 

Makes sense. He was a great player, and for the last 20 years has been a pharmaceutical sales rep. Therefore he's ready for professional coaching. 

Well, maybe Walby could bring along the right kind of party favours to perk players up?

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.
