Not considering the team he had to work with... miraculous would have been having a better record... Noeller and IC Khari 2

Rookie camp has been only 3 days for as long as I can remember. I think it is regulated by the league and/or CFLPA. Rich and IC Khari 2

You're right. It was a collective bed-crapping but Kelly wearing the GM and HC hat put a lot of blame at his feet when he was shown the door. IC Khari and bearpants 2

Judging by the current state of affairs in Riderville I'd wager John Murphy also had a lot to do with the gongshow that was the 09 Bombers. Edited May 23, 2017 by Atomic SPuDS and TBURGESS 2

The same John Murphy who went on to help Hufnagel in Calgary...? I'm not sure about that. When given the opportunity, he seems to succeed. I'd put more blame on Kelly and Jones, the GMs in charge - not an assistant whose forte is talent down south. I also have to wonder how much actual say Murphy is getting in Jonestown right now.

I dunno seems to me that given his associations with a couple egomaniacs I would say that he's got some ego issues of his own but a guy as strong as Hufnagel keeps him in his place. SPuDS 1

I dunno seems to me that given his associations with a couple egomaniacs I would say that he's got some ego issues of his own but a guy as strong as Hufnagel keeps him in his place. Could be. I've rarely seen him speak and he seems pretty knowledgeable in terms of American talent, but I'm no sure how ego plays into how he operates. I think Hufnagel knew how to maximize Murphy's talents and let him do his thing for the better of the Stampeders, an organization that never seems short on talent or depth. I have to think he learned a lot under Hufnagel, too. We do know Jones is an egomaniac of pretty epic proportions, so I have to think Murphy is just told to tow the company line. It seems like Jones wants to take credit for everything, which leads me to believe everyone else has to be a yesman. Edited May 23, 2017 by blue_gold_84

Clear evidence that it was Saskatchewan. I hear they got pressure from the network to not name the province, so they used code aka hillbillies.
