What is our record at IGF anyway? Think Jeff Reinebold-esk ...

The reality is that we hired inexperienced people so I am willing to give them a chance to learn on the job as long as they're not a complete clusterfuck (which they aren't) Yes I have more patience than you, but being impatient hasn't worked for 25 years why not try a different approach this time? I wasn't calling for O'Shea's or Walters heads at the end of last year because they were rookies who were learning on the job. (I didn't think they should have been hired in the first place, but that's another story.) They weren't rookies this year and they provided even worse results. Walters had a lot of good ideas. I like the way he revamped the scouting department and the way he hired more people, but he didn't staff it properly so it hasn't provided the results it should have. I like the idea of hiring more coaches, but I didn't like the choices. I like the idea of keeping our draft picks, but I don't like his drafting. I like that he's been busy in free agency and is willing to spend to get players to come to Winnipeg, but I don't like that he can't tell who's good and who's bad unless they've already played in the CFL (Ex: QB's/backup). Basically, I like the ideas but the execution isn't there. He's had 2.5 years to improve and I don't see much if any improvement. I liked O'Shea the player and O'Shea the special teams coach. I didn't like him as a rookie HC or as a sophomore for that matter. I think that 2 years is enough to figure out if he has it or not and he's come up way short. It shouldn't take total incompetence in all areas of the job to fire him. Missing the playoffs both years should be enough. This isn't the first time we've given a GM a 3rd year. Joe Mack was given 3 and a half. I remember arguing with you, 17, that he should be fired when we missed the playoffs in 2012. IIRC you said that we needed to bring him back for another year for consistency, so no, we aren't trying something new this time. Were doing what we usually do... Hiring inexperience and then keeping them too long when they aren't working out. The only thing we haven't done yet is extend a losing HC so they won't be a 'lame duck' then pay them to be a TSN coach instead of ours. That could still easily happen in the offseason. Look if Joe Mack hadn't give Tim Burke the head coaching duties he woulda been around a lot longer. O'Shea is a much better coach than Burke. Walters has his work cut out for him I've already said that, but there's really no harm in sticking with these guys for another year. A lot of the problems this past season stem from the offense and given that Willy was out most of the year and they've fired the offensive coordinator who is known to be less than stellar at the job I would suggest that it's not too much of a stretch to think the offense will be improved next season. Milt Stegall ‏@MiltStegallTSN 30m30 minutes ago Looks like every #CFL team in the west will have a different head coach in charge next season except the #Bombers. Is that a good thing? 4 retweets12 likes

IGF you are a factory of sadness ... I'll see you in June ... LOL

the good things he does and some criticism that seems to be repeating itself here this season. http://www.canescountry.com/2011/4/11/2103110/paul-maurice-should-get-one-more-shot

The benefit of having a GM who is 'in tune' with the CIS?It's obviously benefited us in the past ...Rory Kohlert and Lirim were both undrafted. I'm sure there are other examples too. Oh ... you thought I was being sarcastic?

Cool, another national LB prospect with long hair

Was this the start of the recent curse?

I think Dallas Whiteys works ... as far as management ...

I think sawing logs is appropriate imagery for that Grey Cup game ...

I'll be at the game but I'm not impressed the Bombers aren't there

Probably a lot more than when people saw the new CFL brand ...

I don't know what the heck a Roughrider is but I'm offended by it

There ...

I like it, although it is kind of minimalist ...

This highlight was pretty much it for this past season ...

Westerman more deserving but as mentioned, voters get mesmerized by offence ...

Maybe trading Trouba for Hamonic isn't so bad of an idea afterall?

The next time we host we'll be in it and win, take it to the bank ... -IC Khari Dec., 2006

Sounds kinda stinky ...

Young team, we'll have to ride with them until they mature ...

Ottawa will have won more GCs than Winnipeg before Winnipeg wins another GC. At one time this thought would have ticked me off, now I just want the team to prove these kind of statements wrong. So far they have failed miserably at it ...
