GCn20 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Mike Kelly was an unmitigated disaster. There is just no question about that. However, let's not forget the brilliance of Lyle Bauer to hire a position coach and hand him complete control of the franchise just because he really, really wanted the job. Mike Kelly was a completely unqualified hire that was doomed to fail because Bauer put him in a position that was so far over his head that there was zero chance for success.

Literally the only good thing. Unfortunately, he extended that "attitude" towards the paying public. His comments, unfavorably comparing Bomber fans to Rider fans, on radio - after possible the worst home loss in team history, in a in a big rivalry game.......were a total disgrace.

All these guys except for Hefney who was arguably the best of them all are still in the CFL today almost 8 years later. I call BS Tillman brought Bowman into the league. Riders traded him because he couldn't catch to the Bombers. If I recall you ended up cutting him outright because he couldn't catch when he played for you either..... I should add that bowman still cant catch to this day, the Esks just don't seem to mind and keep throwing him the ball Edited August 10, 2017 by Ripper The Classic and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Jeff Reinebold unlikely to stay with Ticats, slams ‘disloyalty’.... http://3downnation.com/2017/08/10/jeff-reinebold-unlikely-stay-ticats-slams-disloyality/ Not a complete ambush on Reinebold, but pretty close. Looks like Austin was hedging his bets around the DC position. In this interview^^ Reinebold lays it out pretty good. It's bold Jeff, just Bold. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of their better defensive players, and on a team devoid of talent the leash is longer. Makes you wonder if Reinbold was vouching for him and now that he got canned they are cleaning house.

Teams were completing 90% of their passes against his coverage. A big reason that Hamilton's defence was so putrid. I'm upset they released him. I wanted him in their lineup this week.

Then he tossed the playbook in the garbage, because "QB's in shotgun is for flag football." A case could be made that every one of those QB's failed because of the horrifically outdated playbook they were forced to use against defenses that wondered if they were still in high school. Oh yes I remember this. I threw up in my mouth when I heard this the first time. sorry for repeating this but I took my wife to her first game at this time and she comes from a different country where a football is round. She asked me why our team had its thrower so close to the pushers when the other team's thrower had room to react, run or throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't buy the extended warranty though. There. Glad to get that off my chest, thanks for letting me contribute to this discussion. When you asked if he wanted the warranty did he tell you he would handle it internally? bearpants, SPuDS and rebusrankin 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Trestman's not a fan then that can't be a good endorsement. Mathew's leapfrogging him cannot be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not like it but he's part of the Blue Bombers past & the subject of Mike Kelly will continue to come up from time to time.

It may simply be a trust/comfort decision. Of course, if that's how Trestman feels he could have made JM the #2 right out of camp. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
