August 26, 201311 yr comment_17703 There's no point in firing Burke now (although he certainly deserves it). Wait out the year and clean house. Walters is getting a tryout - let's see what players he can bring in. Agreed in hindsight maybe Burke should have been the first to go but its a bit late now.

Walters is getting a tryout - let's see what players he can bring in. Agreed in hindsight maybe Burke should have been the first to go but its a bit late now. The problem is that no GM gets to fire 2 head coaches within a year, that's a terrible indictment of their ability to put a head man in place. Now that they hit the nuke button though finish the job, clear out all the trash.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17735 I don't care about 2013. 2013 is finished and dead, we're not getting better, we're not making the playoffs, we're certainly not winning a Grey Cup. The best I'm hoping for right now is that the Bombers stop embarrassing themselves and compete a little bit. The only thing that matters now is making the right hires for 2014. If the right coaching staff for 2014 is out there right now waiting to be hired, then by all means fire everyone and hire the new people in. I kinda doubt that's the case right now, though. On the other hand, if that coaching staff isn't out there right now, then we need to just leave Burke in there until the best possible replacements can be recruited. A panicky midseason coaching change is (part of) what got us into this shitshow to begin with.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17737 So we will be interviewing GMs on the down low. Maybe Walter's will be out doing interviews for his replacement. He can bust his ass for someone else to send him packing too. I get it. Actually, you obviously don't get it since my post was about Miller. Miller starts with an 'M', Walters starts with a 'W'... I mean I can see how you might mix that up but maybe just read a bit slower next time...
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17754 After his "I like Buck" comments today, fire him. I've had enough. That was the last straw for me. As a fan, I have zero respect for him now. He's officially a clown act as a head coach now.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17755 So that means Miller & Walters are here to stay then. Miller, I'm okay with. Walters I'm not. Miller said that Walters will be a candidate for GM but if he hires someone else Walters will be remaining with the team so he isn't going anywhere.

Miller said that Walters will be a candidate for GM but if he hires someone else Walters will be remaining with the team so he isn't going anywhere. I'm okay with Walters as an Asst GM but that's it.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17766 So, why is an interim President who may only be here for the next 3 months interfering in the process? Where does Miller get off saying that no matter what, Walters stays??? What if a new GM wants to bring in his own assistant? He'll be handcuffed. Then what? That's why I think the impression that the Bombers will be doing an actual search for a President & GM is bogus. They've got their guys now. Miller will become the permanent President & Walters the permanent GM. Decision's been made. Just the Bombers don't dare tell the fanbase yet because of the backlash. Am I saying this is a conspiracy theory? Sure. After the last few years, I think most people in the Bomber organization are trying their best to cover their asses. And I have no reason to trust them & believe anything they say to be true anymore.

Give us another Burke update, pal. Tell us how you really feel. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17795 What if a new GM wants to bring in his own assistant? How often has that happened in the past 10 years (any CFL team)?

At least I SAW the last time the Bombers won a Grey Cup live. That was a friggin' long time ago.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17798 What if a new GM wants to bring in his own assistant? How often has that happened in the past 10 years (any CFL team)? I'd say ALL of the time. Why would a GM work closely with someone he doesn't know or like? And he does all the hirings when it comes to football ops.

August 27, 201311 yr comment_17810 I will say this... in my life experiences whenever myself (or coworkers) had no respect for the boss.... our productivity was absolute rock bottom and the sheer lazyness and going through the motions was through the roof. I believe it's the same as with what is happening to the Blue with Burke. I think they have mentally checked right out.... they did the same to LaPolice since he was essentially nearly as bad as Burke. Burke will never command the respect from a complete team, unless he does a 180 and actually acts like a leader and gains the respect of his players.... the team simply just won't play hard for him at all. All of the evidence is showing that this is the case. Burke really s hould get a demotion.....

August 27, 201311 yr comment_17840 What if a new GM wants to bring in his own assistant? How often has that happened in the past 10 years (any CFL team)? I'd say ALL of the time. Why would a GM work closely with someone he doesn't know or like? And he does all the hirings when it comes to football ops. When Hufnagel was hired by the Stamps he kept Barker. When Barker took over as GM of the Argos I don't recall a big purge (a couple scouts let go iirc). Football operations staff in Hamilton didn't change with Austin being hired from what I can see. Hodgkinson was Asst GM for Taman, Kelly and Mack. Hervey didn't bring in anyone new. If after some time has gone by if the new GM thinks they don't work well together I doubt his hands would be tied then.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17846 It will be interesting, Walters has another year on his AGM deal. If he gets the GM job then what kind of deal does he gets moving forward.
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17945 So, where do you think Burke will end up as DC next year? Really doubt he will stay with the Bombers. Edmonton maybe?
August 27, 201311 yr comment_17951 So, where do you think Burke will end up as DC next year? Really doubt he will stay with the Bombers. Edmonton maybe? The cycle for Bomber head coaches goes -> co-ordinator, head coach, tsn analyst, coordinator. Lapo won't be getting a cheque from the Bombers next year but Burke will, so Lapo will start coaching again and Burke will take his place on TSN.

There's nothing like an analyst with a deadpan delivery who has to be prodded to give an answer. The best part is he only has to draw xx's on the chalkboard, seeing as he has no knowledge of offence. He can also take Buck with him to explain blitzes.
