Get some earlier games when they actually let him touch the ball occasionally for full effect.

I was referring to the Bombers & football Ops. Have people in Ops left the Bombers because of Miller directly? I never heard of anyone.

Have people in Ops left the Bombers because of Miller directly? I never heard of anyone. I don't know. I haven't heard anything from the Bombers org. It's pretty small, without a lot of turnover (after Miller got his people in). I wouldn't put too much into those that we're pushed out. I just heard things from prior to his Bomber tenure. It only came up because he has a high profile in the community.
August 11, 20204 yr comment_482479 Employees come & go everyday. Especially if they're unhappy at their job. Doesn't take much for a boss to act like a **** to push someone out. When they leave it's always the boss's fault. Sounds like Miller is a hard ass & a perfectionist & maybe even a bit of a control freak but when it comes to the Bombers, in the seven years Miller, Walters & OS have never left so it could be he has to act differently when he deals with them.

August 11, 20204 yr comment_482491 I won't **** on Miller the players , the coaches, the club is in a significantly better place then where it was before he took over. If being a **** makes the team successful on and off the team then who cares.

What Miller does with his companies has nothing to do with how he runs the Bombers. Same with the Bombers. Do you know how many Team Presidents heve come & gone since their last one in 1990. Some have been Salt Of The Earth guys I'm sure & others have been asshats but they all lost. Miller just won the Grey Cup. Like others have siad, I don't care how he did it. We are the champions. So, there's no "bigger issue" here. More like "no one gives a **** issue". Edited August 12, 20204 yr by SpeedFlex27

Having as many years as a consultant as I do I can assure you there are tons of "bosses" out there who are dicks to work for, but they are successful (some, not all). Sometimes employees are guilty of not seeing the big picture and just assuming they're hard done by when in reality they are not.
August 12, 20204 yr comment_482506 Good update article on the CFL status by Dave Naylor. Not looking promising for a 2020 CFL season. https://www.tsn.ca/talent/where-things-stand-with-a-2020-cfl-season-1.1507703
August 12, 20204 yr comment_482507 There's no chance of a season right now. Its too late. I honestly don't know why they are taking so long to announce this.
August 12, 20204 yr comment_482512 Here’s hoping that all those that advocate that because the business is football the ends justify the means have a happy, healthy and secure work environment. Have a lengthy and profitable career....lol.
August 12, 20204 yr comment_482513 I do know that the creator of the Extra Point left the Bombers under Miller's tenure. I can't say for sure, but I got the impression it wasn't on the best of terms. Is that a direct result of Miller? Don't know...but the timing adds up. My cousin was the manager of the Bomber store at the stadium and he said Miller was a tough guy to work for. Didn't slag him but said he is a my way or the highway kind of guy.
