Goalie Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Kelly cared lots but his biggest issue was it appears he was not stable mentally. I met the guy as my dad's friend was dating him (his winnipeg girlfriend) and he was decent enough but definitely a guy with an ego. I was very very young during his time here and it was the first year we had season tickets lol. Lots of memories from the Kelly season from playing every QB dressed in 1 game to the Hamilton boat incident to the blue out. Funny enough we lost that game and if we didn't I think we would have been playoff bound. For as awful of a human he was/still probably is.... he wasn't the worst coach in my lifetime Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the angriest I have ever been, following this team. Quite a few of our veteran players under performed, but Glenn was made the scapegoat, who went to Hamilton, as they beat us out of a playoff spot, the next two years. Brilliant.

Goalie Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Glenn was long gone by then. It was the Michael bishop show. Glenn was cut b4 the season even began.

That was his scout Ron Trentini, who the club said was acting independently and not at the club’s request. He was taking notes of the Tiger Cats open practice, which led to the whole “handled internally, non-issue, next question” presser with the media.

Arnold_Palmer Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 One thing I’ll say is he brought in a lot of good players, especially on defence in a short period of time. It was basically the nucleus of players that went to the 2011 grey cup. But he had a huge ego, burned a lot of bridges, was un professional, and seemed like the game passed him by with his schemes.

You got a guy can play at a decent level even with his flaws and you just dump him and roll the dice on unknowns... that's the kind of egotistical move that gets coaches and gms fired and puts teams into a hole it takes years to get out of.

BomberfanMKS Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 31 minutes ago, Goalie said: Were they tho? What did he ever win after leaving here? Glenn would have been an upgrade over our starter from when we dumped him in 2009 until we got Nichols with the exception of Buck Pierce and you could make an argument that Glenn being consistently healthy would have been an upgrade over Pierce who had serious problems staying healthy (basically 2011 was the only year we had a consistently healthy Pierce). You gotta imagine that Glenn's performance would have likely been better as well if he'd been in a long-term situation instead of being a journeyman learning new systems and developing new relationships with receivers constantly.

Tracker Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Glenn was a good QB but not the all=star that Kelly wanted. He was not the firebrand media darling that some wanted- just a bit too laid-back and not win or die. AB BomberFan and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being done with him as the QB because of his "I don't really care" attitude...or at least the appearance of that. He wasn't doing much here in WPG so it was probably time for a change. But looking back, he should have been kept, and there should have been a QB battle at training camp. AB BomberFan and Bubba Zanetti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Cutting Glenn and letting 3 Canadian OL go in free agency. I don't care how much other talent he brought in, the team was hooped long-term after those moves. JCon and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I didn't think the talent that they brought in was bad... it was just the god awful play set on O for the first part of the season that was atrocious. When 17to85 or Noeller crap on LaPolice for being to smart for his own good... rewatch those first 6 games where receivers were confused and everything was just one big sad mess. The season didn't salvage itself until Bishop came in and they went to a very basic offense including utilizing a shotgun formation.
