Reinbold was the embodiment of the Peter Principle at play. A great defensive coach, but that's where his talent ended.

I'm in. Where do I send $ to?

Did Matt Dunigan not walk into the same situation in Calgary?

Reinbold was spectacularly bad and it was obvious to one and all that he would not last very long, but this travesty has gone on way too long and there is no telling how much more we have to endure or what the cure will be.

I am not ready to write Nichols off just yet. He was given the helm of a rapidly sinking ship last year, so ought to get a mulligan for that.

If I read the mood of this forum, we are not far from accepting Tillman as GM, and that is very, very sad, since I am nearly there myself.

Actually, that might be a way of letting the Bomber brass know that they are are on notice. Maybe if the Bombers get reamed in Edmonton, the next home game, fans could show up in droves wearing Jets or Goldeyes gear. That might make the point that fans and their money have options.

It seems to me that "looking good", and "sound financial management" are indistinguishable from fielding a competitive team (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted). Every team goes through occasional droughts of winning (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted) but fans eventually get tired of losing (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted) and stop supporting the team (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted).

(Moan). Another game for a team who is not us to fatten their stats.

Clones. They have to be clones.

You may wish to note that it was a "goal", not a commitment.

It was rumoured that Bowman was benched for defying his head coach in front of the team. It came down to who was running the team.

Now they're just rubbing it in.

Not sure if canning O'Shea would have solved all the problems but it would have been a positive step and an indication that status quo was not good enough. Our GM and recruiting both need close scrutiny. Maybe our OLcoaching, too.

Nothing in LaPolice's resume says he would be a good head coach now. He did not do well as our HC before, admittedly with a poor supporting cast, and he has not covered himself with glory as an OC, admittedly with a poor QB. Pass. Good TSN analyst, though.

I wouldn't break the bank for him just yet, either but that second half performance of his was stunning. And the Esk defence didn't just lay down and die. They were shredded.

More trivia: "The Rock" was not his first wrestling persona. He started out as a new-age/Polynesian kind of shtick wearing multi-coloured feathers but I cannot recall his stage name.

That thought is outright ugly.

Bombers damned well better start feeling the heat. If/when a new regime is installed a lot of the current crew will be packing.

Who could forget?

Masoli has been full value for his newfound respect- he has earned it with his performance against the Esks, Willy, not so much. Masoli has looked terrible in other games but he absolutely shone in his last game.

I'm afraid we are down to hoping for the fewest embarrassments possible and grim resignation.

Ah. So, the interview I saw was him dramatizing his life.

If it was solely Walters' decision to hire O'Shea, he ought not to be trusted to hire the next head coach (if he gets a chance to redeem himself), and Miller needs to step in. Somehow, I doubt that Walters had that authority and he must be kicking himself about not taking the Guelph job.

Not to excuse anyone's behaviour, but I suspect the prospect of yet another disastrous season has shortened the fuses of some here.
