Rookie camp has been only 3 days for as long as I can remember.  I think it is regulated by the league and/or CFLPA.

I preferred the Swedish equivalent during those dark times.

He had a lot of help also though ...

You're right. It was a collective bed-crapping but Kelly wearing the GM and HC hat put a lot of blame at his feet when he was shown the door.

Judging by the current state of affairs in Riderville I'd wager John Murphy also had a lot to do with the gongshow that was the 09 Bombers.

The same John Murphy who went on to help Hufnagel in Calgary...? I'm not sure about that. When given the opportunity, he seems to succeed.

I'd put more blame on Kelly and Jones, the GMs in charge - not an assistant whose forte is talent down south. I also have to wonder how much actual say Murphy is getting in Jonestown right now.

Yes maybe it is just a coincidence that he has found himself in a similar situation again.  Maybe not.

Or is it a case of Hufnagel kept him in line? I dunno seems to me that given his associations with a couple egomaniacs I would say that he's got some ego issues of his own but a guy as strong as Hufnagel keeps him in his place.

Could be. I've rarely seen him speak and he seems pretty knowledgeable in terms of American talent, but I'm no sure how ego plays into how he operates. I think  Hufnagel knew how to maximize Murphy's talents and let him do his thing for the better of the Stampeders, an organization that never seems short on talent or depth. I have to think he learned a lot under Hufnagel, too.

We do know Jones is an egomaniac of pretty epic proportions, so I have to think Murphy is just told to tow the company line. It seems like Jones wants to take credit for everything, which leads me to believe everyone else has to be a yesman.
