iso_55 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 As far as I'm concerned, no thanks to that idea.
bearpants Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 I think, in hindsight, had we never switched to navy blue... we wouldn't love the royal blue as much...

Yeah talk about cheap. Why pay for a new logo when we can get something for free. On 2016-05-17 at 6:21 PM, iso_55 said: I think #3 is the right answer. As I recall this was Cal Murphy's idea going into his final season as GM with the Bombers Well it was not his choice to be his final season. Firing a guy who got us 3 cups in 6 appearance and never out of the playoffs in 13 years. Smart move.
iso_55 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 Cal's time had come to an end. He had a heart transplant, was in his late 60's. I think he was slowing down a lot. The problem was, when he left the Bombers did what they have become famous for... hired a rookie HC with no experience facing a massive rebuild. Epic Fail.. rebusrankin 1
Noeller Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 I remember thinking at the time we really needed some fresh new ideas. Someone younger. At the time, I loved the Reinebold hire. It seemed like exactly what we needed. Yikes....

He wasn't ready (and still isn't quite frankly) for a HC gig plus other responsibilities. Noeller 1
iso_55 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 We got good real fast under Dave Ritchie then Lyle Bauer fired him. Like really, Lyle? How stupid were you??

Sometimes it's who you replace someone with that is your downfall. The club under Ritchie was steadily regressing and was replaced with Daly.

His name was Mike Kelly. Who knew? IC Khari and Noeller 2
