Doc Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I dont know why his name is never mentioned as someone to bring in and fix this mess. Paul Jones would be an excellent person to get here and run the show. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 There's a You Tube video where Jones talked at length about scouting in the CFL. He certainly sounded like he knew a ton about scouting & how CFL teams scouting depts work with shoestring budgets. But Walters fired him so don't hold your breath.

iso_55 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yeah sorry, I was thinking of the guy Mack had. Compared to what the Bomber scouts have done the past 2 years he was a major success. My bad for the wrong name, gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 PJ was actually a player agent. Cal Murphy liked his players so much he recruited as his Player Personnel guy. Pretty solid find. blitzmore, Blue-urns and NotoriousBIG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I was thinking of this guy, Ken Moll. If you have the time, give a listen. Too bad Walters fired him as he'd be a real asset right now. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 The only thing that will turn the organization around is spending money on football ops and coaches. Until that changes we will always be trailing behind everyone else in the league. Say what you like about Miller but he is exactly the kind of bully they need in that role to stand up to the penny pinching civil servants on the board, hopefully, he can get them removed so we don't continue to be handcuffed by those clownshoes.

DR. CFL Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Not sure where and how the notion of cheap still circulates. The football ops staff has been significantly expanded. Some coaches don't even choose to interview here for other reasons. It never even gets to money. B-F-F-C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 At one point the BoD was there for oversight and their apparent business experience. Then some of them decided they needed to be more hands on. They really should be like a company BoD more governance then any real interference. Like all things some perhaps have their own personal agenda. The opposite of it is being at the whim of a singular private owner I guess. That too has it's risks.

Ridiculous is what it is but the BOD is operating like all the other city/provincial bureaucracies, bloated and inefficient. Their only concern is getting their $5.6M a year off the top for the loan and park and ride transit. Can you say 'conflict of interest'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
