BigBlue Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 A Blue Bomber Hall of Famer. A guy with a lot of heart and football smarts. But what he has done as President since assuming the job is a complete mystery to me ... and perhaps to you too. What has he shown in his regime? What are his accomplishments. What impact is he making? Please don't tell me he has shown "great patience"... I would like to know what you "feel" about our mysterious Wade Miller.

Guest Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Was never a fan of the Miller hire in the first place. If the Bombers have yet another losing season, I fear the board would keep him around to "fix it". which makes zero sense, but that's just how things roll in the Bombers Boardroom. (they like keeping their friends in high places) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 He was Gene Dunn and David Asper's hire. Dunn is s finally off the BoD and Asper's tenure ends next month. It is anyone's guess how long the cry for stability and patience lasts if things don't turn around sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than well aware that Miller's job has much more to do with the business side than the football side, but let's not kid ourselves, Miller was brought in because not only has been been successful in business, it was assumed he know football, because he played. Playing and managing are two different things, but hey the Board knows what they're doing, so no worries. I love how "smart" everyone is around here, it's like everyone seems to think that they're smarter than everyone else and assumes that their way of thinking is the only way. Must be compensating for something small. blitzmore and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Everything I've heard is that he's an ******* in business, but he's the ******* you want on your side. He doesn't take no for an answer and gets **** done. I know some people who quit because of him, but I know some people that say nothing but good things about his work with both Pinnacle and the WBB. Without knowing the sheer volume of work the guy has had to do since coming on board, it's impossible to say whether he's done a good job or not. One thing I know for sure: There is nobody on the planet who wants to win more than him. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 No one was banned. He politely asked for his account to be deleted, and it wasn't instigated by any moderator action. I gave him options to just not log in, ban his account but his preference was to be deleted, so I obliged.

Oh shucks - I thought it was Nasty Nate back - after being banned over on the Riderfans site the only home left for him is on the Stamps site. But guess not. In any event just to chime in here I think Wade has 2016 to right the ship and then if not - bye bye. I must admit I was very enthused when the Board brought him on board as the CEO but after two years not so impressed. And with little if any additional revenue streams other than gate receipts projected for 2016 I think the Bomber Bottom line in 2016 may be awash with Red Ink. DR.

iso_55 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 He's stuck on a very small Stamps website. If they do 50 posts a week they're busy. It's funny he's stranded on a site like that where he can post all his Bomber hate & no one even reads or cares what he says. I think that's better than being banned. The irony is exquisite.
