and i respect you and your opinions and knowledge but i think your hatred of all things mack are blinding you as to just how badly off our team was for canadian talent before he came aboard.. We agree to respectfully disagree, SPuDs so let's leave it at that. Of more importance, let's just hope the Good ship Blue Bombers can be righted soon. The media in Calgary here is saying the reason that Chris Jones took the job in Edmonton over Winnipeg is the Esks have some building blocks that Jones can be successful with while the Bombers have absolutely nothing to build upon. Why would any potential head coach that is any good want to come here simply to fail, they ask? It's so disheartening to hear other media in CFL cities basically say that we are a laughing stock of an organization. But that is the reality of where we are now & how the Blue Bombers are perceived outside Winnipeg.

I just get tired of hearing it's still all Mike Kelly's fault as that was 2009 or five seasons ago. Mack had plenty of time to turn it around but didn't. Whether it was bad drafting or even just okay drafting, complete stubborness in his failing to recruit free agents or re-sign our own, letting veteran players leave only to be replaced by cheaper inexperienced guys, the hiring of LaPo, the firing of LaPo, then the hiring of Burke as HC, not listening to his staff on which players to draft & releasing Brink & Ellliott thinking Buck Pierce could carry the team, well that's all on Mack. To say he wasn't all that bad is so wrong. I'm not convinced our Canadian content is any better than it was 5 years ago..I think Miller & Walters aren't at all happy with our Canadian players either & from all the comments I have heard they both blame Joe Mack for doing a horrible job as GM. I agree totally with them. . That being said, I'm throwing my support 100% behind Walters as I think the guy will do fine. I just hope in 2017, we're not discussing things here with some fans saying that we still have to fix the mess Mack left in 2013 because it was so bad.

Ok now that's just absurd. There's no way they would take the stadium with them if they relocated to the moon. There are Nazis on the dark side of the moon. Maybe we can recruit them.

SPuDs, I have a lot of respect for you as a poster & as a passionate Bomber fan, I truly do but I just gotta say, wow.....

Nah, Bluto may be an Argo fan but he ain't stupid.

*stares blankly at monitor while shaking head* Edit

yea cuz that henoc guy and greaves have just been such busts.. When the ratio goes down to 2 NI's we'll be golden. sigh. such quick, comedic wit. Watson, Volney, Woodson, Dunn, Swiston are all still either here or on CFL rosters are they not? 2 crappy injuries to guys plus Aprile going back to school tells me the drafting isn't nearly as piss poor as your attempting to make it out to be.. but I mean continue to slag an ex-gm on something that he wasn't really all that pathetic at, by all means... especially when said GM relied on current GMs input in said draft choices... the reason our canadian content is so piss poor is due to previous regimes mortgaging the future for a hope at winning now... even a complete idiot can see that.. Previous regimes? How long you gonna keep humming that tune??? Mack was in charge for part of 3 seasons & took part in 3 CFL drafts. He''s the reason we suck at the Canadian positions. On top of our lack of Canadian talent, he hired LaPo, fired laPo & hired Tim Burke to replace him which was an unmitigated disaster right from the start. Really not all that pathetic??? That's unbelievable. The Mack nightmare is finally over.

Hard to be a great OC when you're all star qb is injured. That being said, Thomas DeMarco wasn't very good & for some reason Chapedlaine underutilized Harris to the point of no understanding.

yea cuz that henoc guy and greaves have just been such busts.. Sure SPuDs we have such great Canadian content. That's why we were 4-14. Have you paid any attention to what both Miller & Walters have said about our Canadian talent? It's not good.

I don't think Benevides is that great as a HC so this is actually is still Wally's coaching staff. I wondered how long Chapdelaine would last coaching under Benevides as he felt he should have been the HC..

I think you missed his point.... That being said YES! YES! YES!!

not sure if serious... Knowing bluto, I think it's tongue & cheek.

It'll all be up to the new HC, I guess.

I think Khari wants to be an OC as he'll never be that in Sask as long as Cortez is there. He'd finally have control over the offense so why wouldn't he come if the new HC wanted him?

Who'd play Wade?

At least we now have a GM that knows how to draft CIS players.

And that is?

The name is bad enough but to shout it? Ugh!!

Maybe they do but I don't think WE WILL.

Wade sure hates dealing with the media. The pained look on his face is comical.

Assistant coaches are going to be moving all over the league in the next few weeks. We need to get our head coach in place quickly so he can start interviewing assistant candidates.... Ottawa is getting set to name their new head coach....

Thanks for that.

Seems to me that sets the dominos in motion with repercussions on nearly every team as assistants will be moving around.

They do have a President but I forget his name. Is it Rich Lamoreaux?

It was never official. He was never the Associate Head Coach.
