Floyd Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Its funny how Steve Morley has ended up being the leading voice for change this season, except that he's kind of the symbol of the downfall of this franchise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Blue Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Maybe I'm missing something, but what exactly has he done to make him a 'voice of change'? As I'm writing this, I just saw two tweets from him about having Wade Miller more involved in football operations. That's it. On that point: I think Miller should be involved when hiring and firing (as in, now he should fire Walters and Osh), but I don't think he should be involved more in other football operations. Contrary to what Morley wrote, that's not how good organizations operate. Each person has a role to play. Football ops are left to the GM and HC. When those are not done adequately, then its up to the CEO to replace them and find guys that can do the job better.

Mr. Perfect Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The last time we had a CEO get involved of football ops, he spearheaded genius changes such as demanding Jim Daley be brought in as a member of the coaching staff, forced Taman to fire Dave Ritchie for Jim Daley, and went above the GM's head to fire Doug Berry and do a good 'ol buddy hire in Mike Kelly. Agreed with Captain that that's not how good football clubs operate. Floyd and Logan007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osh wouldn't answer. The jig is up.. @garrettbillan1: @SteveMorley62 Steve as a former player under O'Shea, what are your thoughts on how he disciplines players for stupid/bad penalties? @SteveMorley62: @garrettbillan1 last year, he would show your penalty on the big screen in team meetings.

pigseye Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd take Morley at G over Greeves any day and twice on Sundays, Greeves is our worst lineman and it isn't even close, Picard has been trying to cover up for the guy all year but even he can't make up for how bad Greeves is.

I was only able to watch half of the third, and all of the fourth quarter. Greaves gave up 2 sacks in 3 plays early in the 4th I think. He was brutal.

O'Shea doesn't hold his players accountable for what they do on the football field. Me neither... but what other ex-player do you see going on twitter openly questioning his former team? Maybe Morley just discovered twitter and is bored.. hard to say. Either way, its not the way things should be done. Its not a big deal I guess... its just that Brock Ralph and Steve Morley were really the two biggest symbols of the rot in this organization... its strange that he is now a sounding board for fans. Why not ask - why didn't we cut you in 2011? Just the fact that we are lamenting Morley's departure now is really quite sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that's not his intent, and Tweeting certainly doesn't do him any favours, but its all about wording. If he had said "I think O'Shea needs to hold players more accountable. He would show penalties on the screen to us, but that clearly isn't working right now" then I think it would be more reasonable criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Blue Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Morley had a good tweet last night, if I knew how to post it from my phone I would. He basically said that the Bombers will wait until the offseason to fire 1 coach, rather than fire 1 now and then fire the rest in the offseason. I strongly agree with that tweet. I'm not usually one for midseason firings, but I'm absolutely tired of getting out coached every week. Sure we are missing some talent in some areas but not that much that we should be getting blown out on a weekly basis, and by an 0-9 team to boot...

JuranBoldenRules Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's clearly personal with Morley. I remember one tweet he had about letting Bob Wylie run the offense. Bob Wylie can't even make our offensive line look like they belong in pro football. He likes some people and doesn't like others, there's no objectivity.
