NotoriousBIG Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Actually yes Tomorrow's paper: In an effort to save his job and fix the QB position, Joe Mack has signed QB Mrs. Muamba to a three-year, $300,000 a year contract. "We're hopeful that with Buck Pierce's guidance and Gary Crowton's dynamic scheming that she will flourish in our system," said Mack. DR.

pigseye Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 So, does this mean Walters will actually get a chance to try to turn things around, or maybe Burke get's a bigger say in things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousBIG Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The way this BOD leak is exploding on Twitter, I think old Garth should just legally change his name to Botchko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 What it boils down to is this ... Whether it was meant to be or not, Mack is going to get fired and it's only a matter of time now. This leak is absolute horseshit and it makes our front office look even more bush league than normal. rebusrankin and johnzo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I would have waited but am ok with the decision. Dislike how poorly this has been handled. Sad when you realize your team is run like a clown show. Would like to see the safe, reliable Tom Higgins hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think if he did that it would probably prevent him working somewhere else as football is a closed community & word gets around. Plus mack has been a football man his entire working life so why jeopardize a life's work? EVERYBODY has been fired in football. They all get it. Close the door one place & open it somewhere else. But it's not really that, it's the next move that might be in the works. Nobody saying he's going to sabotage anything, but as of today...he owes the Bombers nothing of value that he has knowledge of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins isn't known for making trades or any type of bold player moves, which this team desperately needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The way this BOD leak is exploding on Twitter, I think old Garth should just legally change his name to Botchko. Why is Buchko being blamed for this ? He wasn't the leak, it was a member of the B.O.D that opened their mouth to Lawless. Garth did his job, he wants Mack fired, but needed approval from the board.

voodoochylde Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Apparently the only one going through proper channels in this whole fiasco IS Buchko and he's being eviscerated here. Lots of misplaced anger 'round these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfJoeMack Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 How are they supposed to fire the leak if no one knows who it is? One little rat boy flaps his gums to Lawless and the Bombers make an even bigger gong show out of this. Im all for removing the rat but there really isn't any way of identifying him unless Lawless give up his source and that aint gonna happen. As for the new GM......Im all for McEvoy. 18 years with the Lions, and Wallys right hand man. Hes learned from one of the best, is Canadian, and knows the CFL and the role. IMO there really isn't any other option that would offer as much stability and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we really expect anything less from Friesen. Exactly. Given the Board has a history of stuff like this, why not hold off on telling someone your recommendation?
