johnzo Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 I would rather live a decade with Mike Kelly as the Bomber coach than a single season with Tim Burke. That 2009 team beat some quality teams and at his best Bishop was electrifying -- he had a couple 400+ yard games down the stretch where he was hurling the ball all over the damn field and simply couldn't be stopped. Plus you had the big Fred Reid game in there too. Sure Kelly was a psycho but his teams put up a fight, unlike Burke's. Atomic, Tracker and Arnold_Palmer 2 1

Well, bad is bad period, and only thing looking back on those days whether it was Reinbold, Daley, Kelly or Burke is make me happy someone finally wised up, brought in Wade Miller and set the rest of the change in motion. I know nobody likes rebuilds that take longer than overnight, but if seeing them through means we can expect to be a winning team every subsequent year, then I'll do it every time. On that note, man I sure hope Montreal is taking notes. They have absolutely gotta kick Kavis and keep Khari. Mr Reed may have given Khari his HC job, but I don't trust that conniving back stabber. Give Khari a real GM who will load his arsenal up and he will actually be able to get Montreal back to greatness. GCJenks 1

The problem with firing Kavis now is that it's quite likely that Khari will have to go too. There would be very few GM's and even fewer good GM candidates that would consider the job if they were told that they'd have to keep the current head coach. Khari's tied to Kavis, whether he likes it or not.

This might become one of those unexpected consequences of a salary cap for coaches. We shall see.

You won't get to pick your staff until the old staffs contracts are up. No team can afford to pay 2 HC's and stay under the management SMS.
17to85 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 On the other hand khari came up in a few circles as a possible head coach candidate, if he shows well he might be kept anyway.

This. If Montreal picks the right guy, that guy will realize that the Als firing of head coaches must stop if they're going to become top in the East again, and if Khari shows well such as winning 7 games or more, he'll take a don't fix what ain't broke way. But even if they don't win 7 or more, he should still be kept. GCJenks 1
Brandon Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 I feel bad that Khari is working with an absolute zero of a QB. They have some decent pieces but you won't win games with a QB who turns his back to the play while trying to scramble and a back up who tosses floaters into the wrong area of the field. Tracker 1
do or die Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Khari's personality will help sooth some perceived problems in the room (from last year, I hear) But the supposed strong point of the team....gave up 600 yards. No real QB either. Kavis is still there. Work cut out for Jones..... Edited June 18, 2019 by do or die
