He's not going to anticipate a botched punt... the Sask punter is generally really good and that one muff ended getting a lucky Sask bounce... like an outfielder in baseball, better to be too deep than have the ball go over your head... This. The 1st two Rider punts of the game were 50 & 59 yards while the last 2 were only 33 yards ( the helmet punt) and 35 yards (the fumble). That's a huge difference so yeah he's going to be deep on those ones. Bigblue204 and bearpants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly should have hung onto Glenn, either got him back to 2007 Glenn or at least had the time to find something better than Stefan Lefors or dragging Michael Bishop out of CFL exile as his plan. Kelly had a massive amount of passion and drive to make the Bombers better...on that I have no doubt....problem is that he let that passion call the shots instead of using his head and it cost us dearly. He acted before he thought things through and that very rarely leads to success. Letting most of our OL walk away in FA was pretty problematic too.

He was openly hostile when he was not considered for head coach after Cal Murphy was fired, and burned a lot of bridges on his way out of town through the media. Next remember him returning in 2002 during a pre-game show on CJOB and being asked if anyone like Stegall, Roberts, Sellers or other stars could make it in the NFL, and flat out said no, no way is anyone in the CFL good enough to make it in the NFL because the NFL players had the same speed as any CFLer but in a much larger body. Always thought he felt entitled to the head coach job here and that it should be anointed to him rather than earned. He remained openly hostile and had some famous run-ins with media (“non-issue, internally handled, next question”) and fans (“do I come to McDonalds and tell you how to cook fries?” and “living in mom’s basement”). For whatever talent he had (was the OC for both the club record single game passing and rushing performances), I never cared for his character and did not enjoy seeing him return. From this interview, sounds like the chip in his shoulder remains. Was he the guy who posted he was watching training camp for the stands at IG Field and kept trying to create the nickname “The Wave” for the stadium?

For me, it was when i was told he banned Richard Harris and another coach, who i can't remember which, from coaches meetings. How can you be successful if you're doing that?
