TBURGESS Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 My wild guess is that it's easier to sell the team if Kavis isn't the GM. Mack was 'promoted' cuz his salary is already included in the Mgmt SMS. New owners will put their own folks in charge, but that isn't happening until after the season is over.
Guest J5V Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Is Jim Popp the next one to be fired and does he land back in Montreal?
Bomber_fanaddict Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Wow mtl makes decisions at strange times. Fire the HC between training camp and first game. Fire GM after a 2 game win streak. I mean it had to happen but they have offseasons for a reason. And now we can bring back #thanksjoemack
TrueBlue4ever Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 3 hours ago, Throw Long Bannatyne said: Joe Mack pulls off the palace coup. “Joe Mack will now have oversight of all football operations, but the team will be jointly managed with Khari Jones,” Alouettes President and CEO Patrick Boivin said in a team-issued statement. “Specifically, coach Jones will now be responsible for our active roster on a daily basis, and Joe will oversee all player personnel and football operation matters, including salary cap, contracts, operations and logistics. Patrick Donovan remains Director of Football Operations. These are standout individuals and are steadfast on collaboratively doing what is best for this team to win.” https://www.cfl.ca/2019/07/14/als-part-ways-gm-kavis-reed/ This feels like “out goes Trump, Mike Pence now in charge” Tracker and SPuDS 2
johnzo Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Wow, Khari goes from OC to co-GM / HC / OC in the space of 5 weeks. #onlyinthecfl I don't remember #thanksjoemack but I do remember #IMWT from back in 2010 and 2011. Will Montreal trust Mack this time out? Mack seems to have done ok as a player personnel guy in Montreal, they've brought on some legit rookie American talent during his run -- Stanback, Bray, and Lewis at least. Khari's just gotta keep him away from the draft table. Edited July 14, 2019 by johnzo wbbfan 1

Yeah rode poor buck into the dirt. I think in the off season Mack is replaced by an elite teams top Scout or co gm. With our guys being prime targets. Edited July 15, 2019 by wbbfan Tracker 1
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Khari better watch his back. Joe Mack is back. (Hey that rhymes). Joe will throw him under the bus & run him over 4 times. Colin Unger and Noeller 1 1
Colin Unger Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Not surprised by this.. They seemed to have an unlimited amount of funds to spend on players and also some team losses that were so large that it seemed fishy to me. wbbfan and Geebrr 1 1
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Reed a cheat with expenses & circumventing the cap? Consequences. There... HAS TO BE.... consequences. rebusrankin and kelownabomberfan 2

Mr. Perfect Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Cheating the cap yet he fields a team like that? Amazing. In all seriousness though, circumventing the cap and charging staff for plane tickets....ban him for life. Geebrr, rebusrankin and Goalie 3
Colin Unger Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 They have to also punish the team with fines and draft picks for such a scandal.
Rod Black Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Reed. Easiest way to can somebody is review travel expenses. The club just found just cause, misconduct, to ensure they wouldn’t have to pay him his entire contract. Smart. SpeedFlex27 and GCJenks 2
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 How that turkey got to where he was while virtually failing at every level as he tripped his way up the coaching & management ladder is truly amazing. Mr. Perfect, MOBomberFan and Colin Unger 3
Goalie Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 This is epic loser banned for life stuff here in my opinion. GCJenks and Geebrr 1 1

No way in H would I ever hire the guy, but some one may and feel good that it’s a reclamation project. As a thief, all he’s good for is picking things up, and putting things down.

SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 If true, I don't see how the Als can claim that they took care of the circumventing the cap problem by firing Reed. He still cheated & therefore the Als should be subjected to whatever financial & player penalty that is appropriate. What message does it send to teams that don't cheat that nothing will happen to an organization if it does?

By taking the action before a complaint, they could claim they were responsible to the league rules. They may be subject to appropriate league sanctions if stipulated safeguards were not followed. The accusation of failure to follow CFL stipulated rules would rest with league management. If there is no rule, the team is in much better shape to defend charges. New management is in good stead by saying, “hey, we found it.”
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Just now, Rod Black said: By taking the action before a complaint, they could claim they were responsible to the league rules.

If there is no rule, the team is in much better shape to defend charges. New management is in good stead by saying, “hey, we found it.” I do think if the league does a financial audit & they find improprieties then the Als should be subject to penalties like the other teams would be. However, your point is valid. Would the CFL penalize the new owners of the Als? Probably not.
