read the Lefko article posted last page. He says that Burke was in line for the job until Cortez became available. Then Hamilton burned all of their boats and hired Cortez.

yeah Dickenson did interview for the job in Hamilton. Now that he's had two years more experience as an OC I'd like to see what he could do here as HC, with Bellfry as his OC, if Huffer would let him go, which I don't think he will. http://scratchingpost.thespec.com/2011/12/ticats-to-interview-burke-dickenson-next-week-cfl-bombers-calstampeders.html

Didn't Dickenson (Dave) also interview for the job?

so did he crap on the coaches or the players? If the players were clearly communicated with as Tim Burke stated they were, and still went and whined to the media about lack of communication, then I hope Walters tore both Buck and Goltz a new one this morning.

He likes you too.

then please please check out this site: http://www.riderfans.com/forum/ And never come back.

well when Tim Burke leaves a crack baby on your front doorstep with a note "he's yours now" in the diaper then it really will be like that.

He was with Calgary in 2005-2007 too. So that's three franchises that he had success with being a "D" co-ordinator. I don't know why Montreal ever let him go.

he's waiting by the phone for a call...

yes, only much better at being a DC than Marshal. By a long shot.

I thought it was LB. EDIT - yup he was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejiro_Kuale

It was actually ridiculous. Goltz was showing off his acting chops big time. I know Iso would agree with me on this one - if that had happened during the reign of Cal Murphy Justin would already be calling his acting coach and business manager about getting into the next Robin Williams movie, because his football career would be over.

better let Lawless know. Right now he's following a leak that told him Germans live in Germany....

Burke claimed they were told on Sunday. He was good about it though, he said Buck and Goltz's comments were due to their disappointment at not starting, and they are such competitors they had a hard time with their emotions....blah blah blah. I thought it was extremely poor and unprofessional of both of them, but especially Goltz. It's like the Dieter Brock ****-show all over again, only Dieter was actually good.

It might be, but I still don't want Bellfool anywhere near the HC position. Kind of like Tillman in Hamilton - consulting, but no where near the reins of power. If we can Burke, I'd much rather see someone with a better track record brought in as HC, or with a lot more potential, like D. Dickenson or Jacques Chapdelaine. I saw the Bellfool show in Hamilton and I wasn't impressed.

well when it comes to winnable games, this is one of them. Hank usually plays pretty bad in Winnipeg, especially if the defense plays like it did in BC, only you can expect a lot more turnovers. The Bombers have a good to even chance of winning this one, I think, as I also think all of the turmoil and "dysfunction" is being highly over-blown, by panicky idiots and by regular idiots in the Winnipeg media. I listened to the Tim Burke show and he said the QB's were told exactly why the depth chart is the way it is, so all their blubbering in front of the camera yesterday about not knowing who was in charge was just that, blubbering. I was really disappointed in both Buck and especially Goltz yesterday. Suck it up guys. Tim Burke was too classy to go into details as to why the move to Hall was made, he said they were too personal to discuss in public, and quite frankly, I agree with him, we don't need to hear that Buck sucks and that Goltz can't hit the side of a barn. We already know that. So we'll see what Max Hall brings.

OT - Khari was on the Amazing Race Canada last night! I was disappointed that the Winnipeggers in the race didn't say something like "that Green looks terrible on you Khari!" or something to that effect. Oh maybe they did, and it was edited out.

or, we can put our heads down, go get some wins, make the play-offs and let this team finally try to gel. Yeah there are some bad things happening right now. The good news is there are three teams out there even worse than us, if that is even possible.

Or it was leaked to Lawless by a bored member. To those a bit slower than the rest, yes board is mis-spelt on purpose.

That's because we always punt outside the 20.

next up Adriano Belli auditioning for safety.
