Posted September 20, 20159 yr comment_154102 @garylawless: U of Guelph courting #Bombers Kyle Walters for athletic director
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154104 I'd go if I was Kyle. Very attractive job. Much more secure than GM of the Bombers. Could have that job until he retires. No more moving his family either.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154107 I would think that in one's own world, there is that one job that creates that special interest, that gets your motor running, that just fits. This, for Walters, could be that job..
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154115 Isn't he under contract to the Bombers? I'm fairly sure he could resign and forfeit his contact... but there's no way the bombers would "force" him to stay...
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154116 For those paywall damned... MONTREAL - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are not the only organization interested in the services of Kyle Walters.The Blue Bombers GM has been approached by boosters at the University of Guelph to take over as athletic director at the end of current AD Tom Kendall’s tenure.A Guelph alumnus confirmed the information on Sunday morning."Kyle has been approached by some of our alumni to guage his interest in the postion," said the source, on the request of anonymity.Kendall, the former University of Winnipeg womens basketball coach is set to retire in December. He’s 69.Walters both played and coached at the University of Guelph and was head coach of the football team there from 2006 through 2009."Kyle has no comment," said Bombers director of communications Darren Cameron through text when asked if Walters could be made available to discuss this development.Walters has two years remaining on his contract following this season, but speaking to a well-regarded CFL agent, it is believed there would be an opening in his pact to allow him to leave for such a position.The Bombers job would pay more per year, but the security of an AD position at a CIS school, as well as the perks associated with being a university employee, are attractive options.Walters is a native of St. Thomas, Ont., which is just 90 minutes down the road from Guelph.gary.lawless@freepress.mb.caTwitter: @garylawless

There is always a way out of a contract. They can't force him to come into work. I'm pretty sure the only thing they could do is stop him from working for another CFL team.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154121 So IF this club finishes out of the playoffs AGAIN does Kyle fly the coop...He might have to..
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154126 Looks like an entire remake of off the field personal again. New GM, new coach - or does O'Shea go to GM and hire a new coach?
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154129 I'd sure like an answer soon if Walters is in fact going to take the position at Guelph...I don't want this guy making anymore deals for our club if he isn't 100 per cent here....Great time to be negotiating with Henoc..lol....AND as far as O'Shea becoming GM...LOL....he seems to be having a tough enough time with the special teams position...He'll be gone.

If Kyle was interested in the job you really think he'd half-ass it here? Come on... My fear is...GM opening and Tamen is unemployed. Puke.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154167 Bombers will gladly release him from his contract to save paying him out after he's fired. Go use your CIS knowledge there.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154171 I don't really get the Walters hate. He got a franchise QB and tried to fix the Oline. All in all I don't think he is the problem.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154172 Canadian content seems improved under walters, the american content is not tho.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154177 Canadian content seems improved under walters, the american content is not tho. What? We easily have the weakest Canadian talent and it coincides with the entire time Walters has been here.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154182 True blue coloured glasses. Our Canadian talent is less than middling. It has not improved. Never has never will with Walters
