Posted October 9, 201311 yr comment_24797 From TSN; Burke feels he deserves another season to turn things around. Blames the lack of talent on the team for this year's performance. Just about fell over when I read this: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=433757

Just about fell over when I read this: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=433757 I'm not sure what you expect him to say. Of course he thinks he deserves to stay on.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24800 How dare he say what everyone else has been saying. How dare he be correct.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24801 Agreed. Hope they don't keep him. Will think about cancelling my tickets if they do.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24802 How dare he say what everyone else has been saying. How dare he be correct. Beyond a "Dislike" button, I think we need a "WTF ARE YOU ON" button.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24803 How dare he say what everyone else has been saying. How dare he be correct. Burke wanted Buck as QB. Burke wanted Crowton, Delmonaco and Creehan. Burke cut Logan. I can keep going, man is not a head coach.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24806 It really drives me nuts all this talk of the importance of vet players - Burke pumpin' JJ, Suber and Januarys tires... except he's the guy that went with Washington over Hef, and Cauchy over Logan, cut our two QBs with even limited experience. Just ridiculous.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24807 Burke is still trying to blame lack of performance on being rookie laden. Seems to me Hamilton's defence is a heck of a lot better than last year with lots of new personnel. The sooner he goes the happier I'll be... http://bluebombers.com/video/index/id/90859
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24808 "As a team, at least we've been competitive. We've gone out and given great effort. In some areas, we've gotten better. We do have some personnel deficiencies, and some of those deficiencies are hard to overcome, so we'll try to address those in the off-season." Edmonton's competitive. Our team hasn't been competitive for months, and has steadily declined. The lack of effort put forward by the players should put more than enough nails in Burke's coffin. I probably won't be renewing my season tickets just out of my general disgust for the Football Club as a whole and my terrible experience as a customer this past off-season before this 2013 team even stepped on the field, but if Burke is retained there is a less than 0% chance that I will keep my tickets.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24809 I'm not even discussing the pros and cons of keeping Burke but any of you fools that think he should say "well I think I should be fired" are crazy. No doubt he'd have a better record with a better team. Then again we would have a better record if we had kept Lapo and part of the reason for that is Burke would still be our DC

October 9, 201311 yr comment_24813 I did a comparison of Lapos record and Burkes record in another thread, it's pretty easy to see from that that Burke has been as big a dud at head coach as this team has ever had. If the Bombers foolish retain Burke for another season I hope to go they are prepared for an empty stadium. year and a half of blowouts under Tim Burke is having even the diehards not caring about the team, that alone should be enough for them to boot Burke out as soon as the season is over.

Bear in mind this is Burke talking. I am having a hard time thinking anyone else in the organization is thinking this. I suspect Burke will be fired before he walks across the field for the last time.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24815 Talk about politicking to keep his job in the media. The thought of him staying is a disgusting one. Nice guy but a clueless head coach. I wish he was fired weeks ago.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24817 How dare he say what everyone else has been saying. How dare he be correct. Beyond a "Dislike" button, I think we need a "WTF ARE YOU ON" button. Again, it's obvious trolling.

October 9, 201311 yr comment_24820 Also, just because Burke is an abomination as a head coach and we'd probably be in better hands with LaPo, it doesn't mean that LaPo was a competent coach by any stretch of the imagination. People pining for him are brainwashed by seeing him on television breaking down plays.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24824 It's also very comical to see Burke talk about how well he works with Walters and Miller, seems to me in the offseason he was talking about how he worked well with Joe Mack, seems that he was also very happy with the talent on the team, especially the addition of guys like Cauchy and how he felt that Crowton was a brilliant coach who could be a head coach if he wanted to... and how he couldn't wait for Buck to get healthy last season and how he was so confident in him this year, and how great a prospect Goltz was at qb... Burke is full on desperation mode. Not even trying to win games just trying to make excuses to save his job. Put him out of his misery right now I don't care who you give the last few games to but Burke has got to go the sooner the better. They could fire Burke tomorrow and it would be too late.

In brown nose mode.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24826 I'm digging this idea of going without a head coach for the last part of the season. Hopefully we actually win one of them to prove that literally having no coach is better than Tim Burke.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_24837 If Burke is back then I'm skipping next season and so will many many other people.
October 10, 201311 yr comment_24838 Burke would like nothing better than a nice long paid vacation which he is lobbying for big time.
October 10, 201311 yr comment_24841 Perhaps the Bombers should be looking at a long term extension?????
