sweep the leg Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think Miller is promoting this insanity as a ruse to make the Ticats overconfident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robynjt Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well that's the understatement of the year, but it's not like Goltz deserved to continue starting. On the brighter side, I'm ecstatic that Swiston is starting over Morley. The only thing IMO more confusing than Morley starting the past few seasons is Kavis Reed somehow being named an HC in the CFL. What a stupid comment. TWO STARTS and better than Pierce has been. If Pierce goes back to starting... I think I've given up on life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskbluefan Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Also, Marcel says it was Miller who brought him in. Not Burke. So yeah, this is some serious dysnfucntion. Another good tidbit from Penton yesterday. The Bombers have only one guy touring NFL camps right now. It was going to be two if Mack hadn't been fired. Most teams have 4. One team has 7. So that bodes well for the future as well. Total complete shiteshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Didn't the team already confirm that Burke hired Marcel? Now marcel says it was Miller? If this was seasons end I'd be endorsing a complete disniss of every single member of the coaching staff. What a joke. This is beyond Kelly and Reinbold.

If this was seasons end I'd be endorsing a complete disniss of every single member of the coaching staff. What a joke. This is beyond Kelly and Reinbold. When does a team ever confirm to the public which individual was responsible for the hiring of another individual? As far as Wade being the one to call Marcel goes, it's such a non-issue. Who cares? Maybe Burke said to him, "hey Wade, I'm too busy to audition offensive assistants, can you find out if there are any available?" and Miller obliged. Who knows? Who cares? They're all working as one unit and if Burke wanted an offensive assistant (which he did) and Miller got him one, then it's not meddling so who really cares.

I asssume you have a job and you have probably had other jobs before the one you have now. You know full well the differences between a well functioning organization and a porrly functioning one. That is the most optomistic interpretation of what happened here. This thing is in shambles right now. It's impossible to tell who's in charge of what and obvious the head coach is not in carge of things the head coach should be in charge of. Like who's coaching the offense. And who's playing quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robynjt Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Cry that there is no change then cry when there is. Exactly. Who the hell cares who chose the QB? They're all mediocre and/or unproven and/or need development. They're 'trying' to initiate change from the tope down (one way of doing things), want to give the existing coaching staff a bit longer, and hired an offensively minded guy with cfl exp in the meantime. What more do people want? This is just getting ridiculous. I'm going to have to back away from the Bombers for a while I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 If I'm Burke I sure as f care who made the call. If it wasn't Burke this is the kind of hands on help he can look forward to? This is a better situation? At least Mack was a back room Bully. It's Miller's ball and he is going to make sure everyone knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue your point the coaches are working as one unit. They're working against one another. And it's tearing this team apart. Burke has to go.

BBlink Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think Burke has pigeon-holed HIMSELF as a defensive head coach. Every time someone asks about the offense he says he will ask someone. Well, I think he has about lost the right to complain when someone else is making offensive decisions, sad to say Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 oh you guys. Just relax already. My goodness. You guys are acting like Crowton killed your dog and Burke punched your grandmas. Give things a few days to work themselves out. We've got a really crappy team coming to town on Friday, let's give our team a chance to get their **** together and figure things out. All of this whining isn't helping or going to change anything by Friday. I'd hate to have you guys working in my company - if the mail was five minutes late and the toner ran out in the printer you'd all be crying in your hankies and sobbing that the world was coming to an end.
