ISO was way out.

At this point, I daresay that the Bombers would be doing as well with Castillo as Medlock, and Medlock would fetch a much better return, being a proven premier kicker.

Do I detect a note of sarcasm here?

I would bet the Bombers could get a heckuva price for Medlock in a trade to either Toronto or Montreal right now.

Not true. Here it is:

We had best keep our expectations low. Very low. This team has to have to confidence of a fawn in the middle of a freeway these days.

Lawless usually knows what he's talking about, pass around the personal lubricant- we're screwed.

No.

Do we have any empirical proof that the Bombers hired on the cheap with Walters and O'Shea? I rather doubt it, and I would also bet that Hufnagel, Maas and Campbell did not sign as HC's for king's ransoms either. They may be entitled to raises in time once they have proven themselves, but everyone has to start somewhere. Bad hires are bad hires and a lot of big corporations, including IBM have hired turkeys.

Reinbold was the embodiment of the Peter Principle at play. A great defensive coach, but that's where his talent ended.

I'm in. Where do I send $ to?

Did Matt Dunigan not walk into the same situation in Calgary?

Reinbold was spectacularly bad and it was obvious to one and all that he would not last very long, but this travesty has gone on way too long and there is no telling how much more we have to endure or what the cure will be.

I am not ready to write Nichols off just yet. He was given the helm of a rapidly sinking ship last year, so ought to get a mulligan for that.

If I read the mood of this forum, we are not far from accepting Tillman as GM, and that is very, very sad, since I am nearly there myself.

Actually, that might be a way of letting the Bomber brass know that they are are on notice. Maybe if the Bombers get reamed in Edmonton, the next home game, fans could show up in droves wearing Jets or Goldeyes gear. That might make the point that fans and their money have options.

It seems to me that "looking good", and "sound financial management" are indistinguishable from fielding a competitive team (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted). Every team goes through occasional droughts of winning (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted) but fans eventually get tired of losing (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted) and stop supporting the team (Toronto Maple Leafs exempted).

(Moan). Another game for a team who is not us to fatten their stats.

Clones. They have to be clones.

You may wish to note that it was a "goal", not a commitment.

It was rumoured that Bowman was benched for defying his head coach in front of the team. It came down to who was running the team.

Now they're just rubbing it in.

Not sure if canning O'Shea would have solved all the problems but it would have been a positive step and an indication that status quo was not good enough. Our GM and recruiting both need close scrutiny. Maybe our OLcoaching, too.

Nothing in LaPolice's resume says he would be a good head coach now. He did not do well as our HC before, admittedly with a poor supporting cast, and he has not covered himself with glory as an OC, admittedly with a poor QB. Pass. Good TSN analyst, though.

I wouldn't break the bank for him just yet, either but that second half performance of his was stunning. And the Esk defence didn't just lay down and die. They were shredded.
