...Too lazy to track down the tweet, but Pedersen (...please take it for what it's worth, 'cause that tool is less than reliable...) is saying there's a persistent rumour that the Bombers are courting Eric "Belt Loops" Tillman to replace Joe Mack.

 

...This might finally be the thing that sends me over the edge....

The day we hire Eric Tillman is the day I become the newest Ottawa Redblacks fan.

If they hire Tillman there'll be a negative reaction like the Bombers have never seen. Might as well just blow up the fanbase.

yeah hiring tillman would seriously have me questioning my loyalty to this franchise. Just looking at the mess he left Edmonton along with his legal issues.... no thank you. keep that guy away from this team.

If they brought in Tillman to be GM they might as well bring back Mike Kelly to be OC, Kavis "Consequences" Reed as our DC and Jeff Reinebold as Head coach.  Let's just have the entire clown show under one big tent.  They could even play "send in the clowns" before every game as our theme song.

Oh man, who would be the QB of that team?  Mike Quinn?  T.J. Rubley?  The 1989 version of Sean Salisbury?

The only QB that I could think of that could match that level of crazy at the coaching and GM level would be Drew Tate, WITH the stupid long hair.

Hey, if you're going to go bad, might as well go bad all the way and that crew is so bad, it just might be good. But there is no way that group of psychos wouldn't kill each other first.

If they brought in Daley as ST coach, Paopao as offensive line coach and Maciocia as AGM you might have to rename the Bombers the "Sharknados".

Get Blade Barrett in there too and we'd have the vampires....

hah! even toronto doesn't want to cheer for that team. 

I'm really hoping that this is just Pederson spewing nonsense, if people think the bombers PR is bad now, it would get 10x worse with Tillman at the helm.

 

While for awhile there I thought John Murphy would be a good candidiate, IMO we don't need another scout/player personnel type of guy here for awhile.

 

Higgins being brought up interests me, obviously he has the experience, has won Grey Cups, clearly built the winning team that lead to Maciocia winning a Grey Cup, has contacts within the league and down South, and if nothing else could help some officiating calls go our way (joking obviously).

Still can't get over that name.

I don't get the hate for Drew Tate's hair.  What's the big deal?

Didn't you ever wish for something you didn't have?

I thought Drew chopped his hair this year?

He did...and you see what happened....

Ok I'm gonna be that guy and ask what this means. Or is this just a reference to Star Wars?

Rod Peterson is an idiot. Although our idiot Gary Lawless said this week he would only target Buono, Hufnagle, and Taman. Pretty much guys that would never ever leave there jobs to come here.

 

Lawless' man crush on Taman is nauseating. 

I would give up my season tickets instantly if Eric Tillman was employed by the Bombers.

BIG no to Tillman on his record, both football, moral, and legal.As far as cutting Mac midseason it could happen if it is obvious he is gone anyways. Having a lame duck GM benifits no one.We need to have someone really on the ball for the expansion draft which I believe happens immediately after the Greycup.I don't see that being Mac if he knows he is getting cut or a new GM within days of a hire.Bad or rushed decisions at that time could devastate us.just as a rushed decision on a rehire now (Tillman) could.One of the alternatives would be to insert Walters as a interm GM.As far as Lawless I heard multple suggestions including ODay, the assistant GM from BC and Walters himself.I have thought since the beginning 2and6 or 2 and 8 and the axe falls.There are alot of peoples jobs riding on Mr Goltz's shoulders.

Hire TILLMAN and I stop supporting the Blue.  Which I never thought would happen.

 

I meant Tillman.

Didn't you ever wish for something you didn't have?

I have long hair and let me tell you, there is no other way..unless I get a bald spot, in which case I will grab the bic!

Anyone see Dunnigan stick it to Mack at half-time ? Ouch. No one came to his defense (which is usually the panel's schtick)
