Posted October 31, 20159 yr comment_165135 I dont know why his name is never mentioned as someone to bring in and fix this mess. Paul Jones would be an excellent person to get here and run the show.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165137 There's a You Tube video where Jones talked at length about scouting in the CFL. He certainly sounded like he knew a ton about scouting & how CFL teams scouting depts work with shoestring budgets. But Walters fired him so don't hold your breath.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165139 But Walters fired him so don't hold your breath. Double huh?? Jones is like 17 years in Edmonton..Walters is barely that old.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165140 He's a 17 year Eskimo employee. What makes you think he's going to come to this gong show?
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165141 But Walters fired him so don't hold your breath. Double huh?? Jones is like 17 years in Edmonton..Walters is barely that old. I guess he's got Moll on the brain.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165142 He's a 17 year Eskimo employee. What makes you think he's going to come to this gong show? Well, he did get his start here. A very successful one, too.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165143 But Walters fired him so don't hold your breath. Double huh?? Jones is like 17 years in Edmonton..Walters is barely that old. So what you're saying is he is ready to jump ship lol
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165148 Yeah sorry, I was thinking of the guy Mack had. Compared to what the Bomber scouts have done the past 2 years he was a major success. My bad for the wrong name, gentlemen.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165149 PJ was actually a player agent. Cal Murphy liked his players so much he recruited as his Player Personnel guy. Pretty solid find.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165150 Jones has been asked before, he has no interest in leaving Alabama.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165151 I was thinking of this guy, Ken Moll. If you have the time, give a listen. Too bad Walters fired him as he'd be a real asset right now. .
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165152 The only thing that will turn the organization around is spending money on football ops and coaches. Until that changes we will always be trailing behind everyone else in the league. Say what you like about Miller but he is exactly the kind of bully they need in that role to stand up to the penny pinching civil servants on the board, hopefully, he can get them removed so we don't continue to be handcuffed by those clownshoes.
October 31, 20159 yr comment_165159 Not sure where and how the notion of cheap still circulates. The football ops staff has been significantly expanded. Some coaches don't even choose to interview here for other reasons. It never even gets to money.

What?! There are 14 people on the BoD including 1 Provincial rep and one City rep.

What?! There are 14 people on the BoD including 1 Provincial rep and one City rep. Why in the world would we need a BOD comprised of 14 members to run a football operation? Seems excessive to me.
November 1, 20159 yr comment_165174 At one point the BoD was there for oversight and their apparent business experience. Then some of them decided they needed to be more hands on. They really should be like a company BoD more governance then any real interference. Like all things some perhaps have their own personal agenda. The opposite of it is being at the whim of a singular private owner I guess. That too has it's risks.

He's doing great so far...

Ridiculous is what it is but the BOD is operating like all the other city/provincial bureaucracies, bloated and inefficient. Their only concern is getting their $5.6M a year off the top for the loan and park and ride transit. Can you say 'conflict of interest'.

Forget Davis, how about being owned by the Glieberman's or F Troop?

Riders have 11 on their BoD.
November 1, 20159 yr comment_165220 Well, just 2 years ago fans here were saying we had to look at the Rider organization & remodel our community ownership just like there's. Suddenly all changed.
