Posted August 3, 201311 yr comment_12224 First time attempting a poll but who would you want as GM and why?
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12234 other is a cop out unless you start naming names whoever picked that one.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12236 I'm not ready to throw Mack under the bus yet. He's done a great job finding talent and our Canadian talent is the best it's been in recent memory. The stains on his tenure so far are mostly the coaching in my opinion (I think the QBs he's found have been decent, but our offensive coordinators have been awful)
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12237 i'm guessing that "Other" means someone who hasn't been out of football for 10 years and out of the CFL for 20... (not that a little thing like that would matter)
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12244 i'm guessing that "Other" means someone who hasn't been out of football for 10 years and out of the CFL for 20... (not that a little thing like that would matter) Mack wasn't out of football for 10 years when he was hired.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12247 Mack wasn't out of football for 10 years when he was hired. he did bugger-all in the only way that matters: out of pro football for 10 years. terrible hire then... even uglier now.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12256 all you other voters better start naming names before I get angry all call you all sorts of names.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12257 i can think of a few names that aren't mentioned that i'd be all over if i was the Bomber's prez... but i see no reason to help them.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12258 I just want to see who people want is all, and snuff out all this stupid "I want people fired but don't want to stop and think about replacements" garbage that is going on here.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12259 ^^^ very easy to demand change .. harder to implement a solution ..
August 3, 201311 yr Author comment_12268 I put the "other" option down for the sole reasons that I have no idea who else is out there. I wanted people to discuss possible replacements. It's easy to whine and ***** for changes. It's much harder to find real solutions. I honestly don't believe Bauer, Tillman or Walters is the answer and that O'Day may be the best choice but he is still very green (no pun intended) as a manager in sask and will need to go through growing pains which the Bombers don't need right now. Mack seems to be the best short term plan until better options pop up. Unless of course someone can suggest another name...
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12269 I just want to see who people want is all, and snuff out all this stupid "I want people fired but don't want to stop and think about replacements" garbage that is going on here. What name did you choose?
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12270 so you were just whining for change for change sake and are part of what is wrong with the discussion around these parts lately.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12272 Tom Higgins or the Assistant GM in BC. Baur isn't a GM and don't want anybody who would hire Mike Kelly. Taman is overrated. Tillman is a creep. O'Day and Walters lack experience.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12274 do you need to ask? I assume Mack. That's who I'll pick as well b/c it will be hard to replace him after we win the Grey Cup this season...
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12278 I assume Mack. That's who I'll pick as well b/c it will be hard to replace him after we win the Grey Cup this season... yeah I just assumed it was common knowledge that I was firmly in the don't fire anyone yet camp.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12279 I truly have no idea who I'd want. Out of that list, I'd probably take Mack... Kyle Walters is an intriguing option, though I wouldn't endorse it. The hope would be that he could handle the Canadian stuff well, and take on the regular responsibilities of the GM, and still use some of the American connections he has hopefully picked up this year. But a big risky hire with a paper-thin resumé is not what we need right now. Let's face it - most of us don't have the best grasp of the CFL's middle management tier so it's hard to give names that haven't been thrown out before. Stuff like John Murphy, Roy Shivers, etc... I wouldn't completely hate Murphy I guess.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12280 While I wouldn't be vehemently angry about making a move at GM, I am also still firmly behind Joe Mack and believe in his track record of scouting and how he deals with trades and the draft. That said, you really can't argue with that winning percentage.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12282 I am mostly just curious to see how it all goes now that the team has actually divorced themselves from Pierce as the starter. Think you gotta give them a chance to see how it goes without that glaring issue that is PIerces health looming over everything.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12283 Can't possibly overstate how big a deal it is that they're firmly saying "No More" to Pierce....this changes the look of the team drastically.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12284 A weight has been lifted, that of B Pierce, sitting on the progress chart, and finally, we can see whether there are enough moving parts to get us going. As for GM, well, sorry, I'm a Honda guy.
August 3, 201311 yr comment_12285 Former AGM Ross Hodgkinson.....underrated and did all the heavy lifting. Brought a number of players in that people don't realize.
