Noeller Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Kelly was a **** show of epic proportions. Ask any player who lived through that. He's right at the very bottom... iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 The only good thing is if Kelly was coaching this team right now he would be starting Goltz the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Kelly did some things right and some things very wrong. I honestly think if his ego allowed him to just be the head coach and not the GM and offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach he might have turned out ok in that role. I was more angry at the moves Kelly made as GM than coach in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 He's such a mental basket case, that I'm not sure he can succeed in ANY position of power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kelly is ranked third by some fans I think that tells us how bad our coaches are/were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenaline_x Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Kelly should not even be on that list.. His ego got the best of him and had eveyone turn against him.. his NFL mentailty didn't fit with the CFL... and the players hated him.. Well the ones i talked to who were living in my apartment at the time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_x Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just curious, what were some of the things he did right? When he realized lefors wasn't going to work he brought in my buddy michael bishop.. watching him throw the ball all the way down field was fun to watch. it was also fun to watch him miss the reciever and take out someone in the stands. good memories.

road griller Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Maybe I should give coaching a shot? I know I could lose a pile of games, no problem. That is the goal, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenaline_x Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 ... well... I had a bomber knock on my door because what i had smelled so good.. lol.. So.. i had to get for him a couple of times until i just introduced him to my friend cause i didn't want to deal with it.. Pretty much all of the bombers on my floor smoked when i lived there.. out of the 8 appartments on the floor, 5 had bombers in them. And running into them was pretty funny..

17to85 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just curious, what were some of the things he did right? well the players obviously played for him even if it was a shitty scheme they were doing. And I think he nicely kept the pressure off of them by putting the spotlight entirely on himself. If we had a different OC running a workable offensive scheme that team might have been quite different, but the ego wouldn't allow that from Kelly.

Yeah I like smoked meat too. Smoked salmon in particular is very good but very smelly. I assume this is what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Therefore I'd say the good was miniscule compared to the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 The only good thing is if Kelly was coaching this team right now he would be starting Goltz the rest of the year. And he'd have Goltz lining up under center and take away all of his scrambling options, leaving him a sitting duck looking to hand off to Brock Ralph on every other play.

17to85 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Therefore I'd say the good was miniscule compared to the bad. obviously, especially when you consider how many roles he had to do bad things in. The most disgraceful thing he did was how he treated the quarterbacks. He drove the bus completely over Lefors, then he gave everyone else one chance to sink or swim or they were gone. Just disgusting way to treat players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Still say firing Berry when we did was a mistake Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 firing Berry and cutting Glenn outright were tremendous mistakes. Berry deserved a chance to rebound from a poor year in 2008 and we're still looking for a qb as good as Glenn was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 There in fact was no GM when Kelly was HC . Bauer oversaw the football operations with Kelly, Murphy and Hodgkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowboy Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 firing Berry and cutting Glenn outright were tremendous mistakes. Berry deserved a chance to rebound from a poor year in 2008 and we're still looking for a qb as good as Glenn was. Based on over a decade of stats with these coaches, I would say get Berry back. ( i would say Ritchie, but he's in a rocking chair somewhere.) Berry can be available and would probably jump at the chance..............it would mean we finally hire a coach with previous coaching experience, regardless of deja vous, and he probably has learned from his previous experiences. Burke is not cutting it and is too honest for his own good. That gamble instead of the field goal sealed it for me. It was desperation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Berry may be an OC or HC soon... he may not want to leave where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Personally I wouldn't have fired either Berry or LaPo. I often wonder how things would have turned out had we not canned either so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
