DR. CFL Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 What does that statement mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I thought he meant Walters is 'the guy'.........which almost stroked me out if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think Wade miller likes Walters vision. Why else would the Acting CEO repeatedly declare that the Acting GM will be a big part of management no matter what happens. They will do an exhaustive GM search and then tell the prospective GM he doesn't get to choose his own staff? One way or another Walters' vision is what upper management wants to see. Or more accurately perhaps, what Walters is doing reflects Millers vision and the vision miller will insist of whomever is the GM. But I suspect Walters will be the GM with a strong support staff.

DR. CFL Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wrong...what part of Walters is going to be a part of the organization means he is the GM. And here we go again, people inheriting other people's staff. Great track record with thatvplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping Walters around could turn out to be a very good move...how is anyone to know that....unless you consider yourself a physic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I wouldn't mind if Walters was named the head man. But I'd be fearful he'd want to keep Burke around. For this reason I want John Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred C Dobbs Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 If it was down to me, there are 4 guys who I'd want to interview: Kyle Walters, John Murphy, Neil McEvoy (BC Lions AGM and Player Personnel Co-ordinator, been with them since 95), Tom Higgins. Of these guys, the only one who we know is interested in the job is Walters and the only one who has previous experience as a GM is Higgins. But I don't think we should hand out the job just for either of those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think we should hand out the job just for either of those reasons. Agreed, a legitimate search should be done for the GM position, heck it should be done for even the C.E.O position IMO. I don't see McEvoy going anywhere though, IIRC an article or column piece I read stated that the reason he doesn't interview for gm positions is becuase he wants to stay with the Lions due to it being close to his home/family. While I'd love to have Tom Higgins here, the Bombers should leave no stone unturned while looking for the next GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Miller is driving this bus.....it is his show and if you think otherwise you are mistaken. He wants to be and is the GM.....regardless of who he hires he wants to run it all and call all the shots..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The only GM associated with Miller would be if that bus you say he's driving would be manufactured by GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it but, they are still playing hard for him, just their mistakes holding them back now. they never started playing hard for him. Playing hard and making plays are two different animals. Can't blame it all on the coaching, the players haven't delivered either when the opportunities have been there. Have to clean house, coaches and players, the talent just isn't their to win on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to clean house, coaches and players, the talent just isn't their to win on a consistent basis. What I would say, is that the players never played for Burke and they've only started playing hard the last couple weeks cause they're trying to save their own jobs. I mean 52-0 in Burkes first outing as head coach... yeah the players never bought into him as head man. How many blowouts have there been since he got the job? Now finally with the end of the season in sight a lot of people have realized that if they don't show something they'll be out of a job and are actually giving a damn. Talent is not the big problem on this team, the worst coaching staff in ages is. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 How many players do you change? Subtraction by addition, starting in free agency, who will be available that will be an upgrade at any position then go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
