November 9, 201311 yr Author comment_28649 Hey, what happens if the Bombers get Peyton Manning next year? Seriously? Pointless thread. So where are all these fantastic threads that you have started? You are the perfect troll!
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28650 I don't even want Burke as a DC anymore. This year has completely soured me on the man... If he was brought back as the HC I definitely wouldn't be buying tickets, and I don't even know how many games I would watch on the tube. wouldn't want to waste 3 hours of my day.
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28651 Question for the people saying they would not spend any more money: If they keep Burke and they win, will you continue to stay away?
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28652 I don't think keeping Burke anywhere near this team in any capacity makes any lick of sense. *If* he's back as HC, it's not complicated: more apathy, less fans and another 4 win or less season. I don't care how much our o-line improves, or who we bring in at QB or GM...you need a leader and motivator as a HC, Burke is neither.
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28654 I would suggest that someone who can stategically manage a game is critical. Burke hasn't shown any of that ability. Neither did LaPo. LaPo looks like a genius now because he can watch replays and tape all week and analyze the crap out of it all over and over. Far different than a game .
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28656 I wonder what the chances are of LaPo being hired as Ottawa's new HC?

You wonder how much the Bombers want to really piss off the fanbase. #BombersClueless
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28658 I wonder what the chances are of LaPo being hired as Ottawa's new HC? I'd say the favorites are Lapo & Bellefeuille.
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28660 I wonder what the chances are of LaPo being hired as Ottawa's new HC? We'll get a chance to see how hard Paul LaPolice is pushing for the gig in Ottawa by the amount/combination of the colours red and black in tomorrow's broadcast of the semi-finals on TSN. But maybe Paul has competition for the HC gig in Ottawa if the persistent, yet unfounded rumours, that the former HC in Edmonton is petitioning to have his name changed to Kavis Reedblack
November 9, 201311 yr comment_28661 What if they hire Khari as oc and anyone new as DC and they retain Burke as hc. They bring in Collaros and some o line help. Do you think the team could do well? Could the players respond or change there attitude and actually excel. Do you think that it is at all plausible that the reason this team sucked was all on Joe Mack and lack of qb. Would you have any hope with Burke as hc. no

Would you have any hope with Burke as hc. no x2. Why this love for such a brutal head coach? What is he, something like 6-22??? I listened to the Coaches Show earlier this week & people calling in saying they hope he comes back. The man is a loser. We'll never win with Burke. Get rid of him.

Would you have any hope with Burke as hc. It's possible. The factor most coaches cite for their success is player talent, where we are clearly bottom 25 percent. But Burke looks more like a bad coach stuck with mediocre talent than a potential great HC caught in a bad situation. We have suffered enough; if there is another head coach experiment in Burke's future, with more favourable variables, let another CFL franchise play the Guinea pig.
November 10, 201311 yr comment_28669 Hope the hire Marcel so he's gone from here. I strongly suspect Marcel is gone either way.

November 10, 201311 yr comment_28673 Well, first of all most of us would have to think it is a point worth considering. Right now, it's not. The guy just brings down the Bombers. I don't think he's capable of pulling off a winning season.
November 10, 201311 yr comment_28674 No, because if a Tim Burke-led team can win a bunch of football games, then I just don't understand the Canadian Football League anymore and essentially my whole understanding of the way the world works go along with it.My spiral into insanity would probably start with work -- I'd start behaving more erratically, throwing things at the wall and shouting, "One of these has to stick! It finally did for the Bombers!" I'd be fired.Then it'd move to my relationships with my girlfriend and friends. Anytime I'd stub my toe or stay up too late watching TV, I'd email the local media and tell them how it's my girlfriend's fault I didn't sleep well or that I was trying to answer a call from my friend when I walked right into that potted plant. When they'd ask why I'm throwing those close to me under the bus, I'd take out a full-page editorial exclaiming that somehow this has turned into wins for Tim Burke, so even though I understood the world differently, this is the way the rules of the universe work now!By the end, I'll just be running around town doing exactly the opposite of what logic tells me to do, knowing that boneheaded decisions inexplicably lead to success. When confronted by the police for my clearly out-of-control behaviour -- including vandalism, public indecency, and theft -- I'll come up with reasons left and right why all that stuff was stolen or why my pants were off. None of those reasons will include me admitting in any way that I've failed as a functioning member of society. It couldn't possibly be my fault! And besides, I'll say, this kind of oblivious, no-responsibility, chaotic attitude is a winning one!I'll spend the rest of my days attempting to convince psychiatrists that I'm not crazy -- I'm just a Bomber fan.
