...Too lazy to track down the tweet, but Pedersen (...please take it for what it's worth, 'cause that tool is less than reliable...) is saying there's a persistent rumour that the Bombers are courting Eric "Belt Loops" Tillman to replace Joe Mack.

 

...This might finally be the thing that sends me over the edge....

No chance.  None.  With all the negative pub the team has generated in the last few years I can't see it.  So I say 0.00000000001% chance.

 

On the other hand.

 

He's the only guy really available right now.  None of the "home run hires" are going to leave their teams mid-season.  Nor would the next generation AGM types like the guy in BC. 

 

Plus,

 

He did take over Sask mid-season.  Spent the rest of the year evaluating and bringing in new guys.  Then hit the ground running and won the Coupe in '07.

 

But on the other other hand (or the original hand if you prefer) a lot of bad **** has happened since then.  So 0.000000000001% chance.

Pedersen said the same thing last year around this time as well.

Penton said in yesterday's Sun that Lyle Bauer is wanting to get back to working in the CFL with his preferred destination being Winnipeg. Doing what I have no idea but no thanks.

Saw Lyle is a box at the Stamps/Bombers game.  He wasn't kibitzing and talking business that's for sure.  He was there to watch football.

Bauer has said, while in Calgary, that he'd like to bring Mike Kelly back again.....that, alone, gives me reason to put a restraining order on the guy and keep him away from IGF.....

I'm at the point where I'd probably let Belt Loops run our team if it meant a better chance at a Grey Cup.

given what he did in Edmonton I don't think you can realistically say he'd bring anyone closer to a Grey Cup.

With the PR nightmare that was the Mike Kelly saga, I would hope our board would not be THAT dumb (hey lets be honest, they're pretty fricken dumb) to hire Tillman, but I wouldn't put anything past them.

It would not be a popular hiring and would give me great cause for concern, so if they're gauging fan reaction (like the Buck situation) then tread carefully BoD...tread carefully. :huh:

First of all. There's no reason to fire Mack mid season. What benefit would that provide over doing it post season? At that time they can go after anyone they want.

The only reason to fire a GM midseason is to stop a guy going crazy gutting a team to desperately try and turn things around. I don't see Mack doing that so there is absolutely no reason to do a mid season firing that will accomplish precisely nothing.

Rod Peterson is an idiot. Although our idiot Gary Lawless said this week he would only target Buono, Hufnagle, and Taman. Pretty much guys that would never ever leave there jobs to come here.

why not target Bill Belichick while we are at it.
