Hell, even people who break up with people via text should just man up and do it civilized like. as has been noted: They DID call him....it went to VM, so they left a message. They then called the agent and told HIM of their plans. When nobody could get a hold of him, he was then texted.

When they couldn't reach him they called Johnathon Hardaway, his agent. I had also heard Hardaway told them that Foley didn't want to talk to them. Foley was due a bonus on April 1st, and tried to make this out as poor me... Edited April 4, 2017 by Dr. Blue Noeller, WildPath, SPuDS and 1 other 4

He was cut on March 31st with a bonus due April 1st so it actually was that time sensitive. Now that more of the story has come out, I retract my statement about Toronto being in the same class as the Riders. It's just Foley just being Foley. Bigblue204 and SPuDS 2

rex Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Just now, Rich said: Wow. Wonder what happened. Who fires their GM weeks before the draft? This doesn't make any sense to me either. Something big had to have happened.
Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 am I overthinking things, or could this have had something to do with the Franklin situation?
Dr. Blue Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) My first thought is that it he must have done something unethical, or he blew the cap out of the water.

GCn20 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 A couple of unsubstantiated posts by Eskimo fans suggest that the word in Edmonton is that the BOD of the Eskimos held and emergency meeting this morning concerning actions by Ed Hervey. Not sure what that means...just that it was a sudden development.
Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 1m1 minute ago Give away Ricky Ray. Rebuild to a Grey Cup win in 2015. Lose entire coaching staff. Go 10-8 in 2016. Fire the GM with the draft a month away. No kidding....had to be something really big.
Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 @Dave_CHED #Eskimos will hold a major news conference at 11am. Various reports say GM and VP of Football Ops Ed Hervey has been relieved of his duties.
Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Chris CuthbertVerified account @CCtsn 3m3 minutes ago Hervey not likely fired for his football ops record. I bet his successor opens the Eskimo locker room to media, reconnects with fans

Agreed it could be financial, the CFL auditors were supposed to release their cap accounting for 2016 this past Weds., so far nothing has been released.
