Jacquie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Why do people still insist firing Berry was a mistake. He had lost the room. This was well known at the time. When that happens the only option is to fire the coach. Teams don't need an out-of-control coach raging on the sidelines losing all common sense at key points in the game ie) see Berry pulling out challenge flag to challenge a challenge lol. There is a reason he is no longer working in the league folks and was never hired to be a head coach again. Berry may not have been on his players' Christmas card lists, but he was the last winning coach we had, and he didn't have an All-star quarterback, either. This has come up here before, but there are a lot of winning coaches in many sports who were not beloved by their players- Tom Landry, and Scotty Bowman to name a couple. And we've had a couple of coaches who were well-liked by their players but disasters on the scoreboard. Kevin Glenn was a finalist for MOP and Eastern All-Star in 2007. Berry was the last winning head coach but his record here was 1 game over .500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 MOS was stupid enough to keep Marcel and his garbage offense. Reason enough to let him go, demonstration of a clear lack of judgement. Tracker, TBURGESS and Stickem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Friday night is going so well for the Bombers. The Als beat the Argos & the Lions are ahead of the Ti Cats late in the 2nd quarter 23-6. If the Lions win & we lose tomorrow I think that'll be it for our playoff aspirations.

Floyd Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I just want to win so that it hurts less to not have a first round pick. I'll never quite figure how Edmonton got Ted Laurent for a 2nd round yet Bombers always offer a 1st to make sure they get their guy. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Berry was also a raging, unstable, psychopath. Who took us to the playoffs three years straight. We haven't been the same team since firing him. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 7-11 last year if we are lucky 6-12 this year yea the anti MoS we just aren't patient enough, he just needs more time to find another good OC and special teams coach. Hopefully they fall in his lap cause he sure as hell can't pick em. People were calling Popp a circus well guess what circus is gonna make the playoffs over our clowns?
