Does anyone know what Popp said to the players that apparently pissed them all off earlier in the season?  Westwood alluded to it on the radio this morning.

Popp really should of hired someone else to coach this season and focused on being the GM....  it would of saved his job.

Probably not. The gross over-spending was all on Popp and that is going to cripple the organization for a while to come.

Popp is going to take a job in the NFL probably will not see him up here for a while.

Maciocia? That's a guy that can really screw up a club. But if he's good at checking boxes..

what do I know.

Wasn't he the guy coaching the Eskies when Milt performed his magic with no time left on the clock to ****** victory from the jaws of defeat? I believe he was.

 

He was....

Wow has time passed... 10 years since that game!   It doesn't feel like 10 years ago to me....

He was but it was Rick Campbell's crap D that blew that play. They shouldn't have been susceptible to a fly route 

 

I really like Marc Trestman. Having him back in the CFL would be a great thing.

I can see how that would cause issues with the players. "If it wasn't for me giving you a chance, you'd be on the street" kind of attitude.

Worse than that. It smacks of racism..

Ugh. Might as well use your left hand and a bowl of water. Are you a fan of thong-style Depends?

That was certainly my concern. . . What a thing to say. Cripes. . .

Mr. Popp certainly made his departure memorable.

Sometimes I get to thinking about how wonderful people are and how far we've come as a society and then a neanderthal like Popp comes along and reminds me just how low we can go.

Most of us don't have to go that far to find troglodytes. Often in our own families.
