Hoooooooo!!!!!! This is a humongous move...

Justin Goltz will start at quarterback for the remainder of the season. #Bombers #CFL

[BBlink]

Two good moves in one.  Get Buck helping Crowton design an actual CFL offense and have Goltz run it.  The former might be the move that garners the most success...

Burke says #Bombers looking for continuity at QB position. Goltz will be healthy enough to play vs #Lions this week. No 2 job up in air now

This is something I can get behind. Now let's tailor this offense to Goltz .. Use his athleticism .. Allow the kid to be successful

It's the old "show the man how to do your job and then you are fired" trick.  Could Buck be a QB coach and OC understudy?  Do we want that?  I think we'll have to see if he can help turn around this completely dead offence first.

Burke believes Pierce would make an excellent coach but not sure if that is in his future or not. Pierce is No 3 QB this week #Bombers

THIS IS A GLORIOUS DAY

Wow...the @JustinGoltz era is here! Congrats big fella!!

[tacklewasher]

Like both these moves. Buck still around to come in off the bench if needed (and healthy). Hopefully he grows into the role.

[braddman19]

Sort of a waste of time stating that the #2 job is now up for grabs.  Should be pretty clear that #2 is Hall's now.

 

Well, if you demote someone, and pretty much re-class their position, they aren't just going to step in again.

This should have been what happened in the offseason.  

 

We all saw it coming.

Is it Christmas? Am I dreaming? Dead?

[kelownabomberfan]

This will be a big hit to Buck's pay packet.  I believe almost his entire salary is predicated on starting.

how long does a move like this by a HC/GM?

#Bombers move to elevate Goltz gives some clarity to QB position. Pierce's inj history meant team had to deal w that ??? Wk after wk #bn

what?

[Noeller]

Depends on how much progress is shown by the offense, in general...

[Fraser]

what?

buy**** as in would they give say 5 games for Goltz to perform before the axe chops a little higher.

[Noeller]

what?

*buy

[Mr. Perfect]

Congrats to the kid, hopefully Buck helping Crowton as he did with playcalling last year will yield some of the same results.
