With Kelly and others in charge it will be interesting to see what players will be willing to come to Winnipeg. Integrity matters in dealing with players and Mike Kelly's was sorely lacking in dealing with several players this year. Cutting Glenn so as not to pay a bonus, handling of Armstrong, throwing his quarterback,LeFors under the bus rather then changing a crappy offense that even Ricky Ray could not succeed in and then cutting his salary when he was hurt and finally the Simpson fiasco. Kelly, Bauer, and Murphy better work on their people skills and integrity if they want to attract more quality players!

There was also that thing mid-season with the disgraced NFL star. Don't remember his name, but that very circus-like as well.

Why would anyone think Kelly is arrogant? What has he to be arrogant about? He seems to have a pretty good character flaw, in his incredible nastiness towards any criticism! I don't follow the Bombers because there is no "winning" team to watch. Receivers drop the ball because they arent being paid enough to catch it, when it is close to their hands. They seem shocked when the ball gets close to them! 1/8 in the 2nd half, and I couldn't take it anymore!

Well said.

Bauer really has to go. (No question that Kelly has to go.) He's made very bad decisions from the getgo.

From reading some of the fan forums many fans want to blame the quarterback play rather then admit that the offensive schemes were awful. One of the worst offenses I have seen in the CFL!

What amazes me about those forums is the intense passion some of those posters display on both sides of the argument. There are so many that have no clue about civil debates and instead go on the offensive, making too many personal shots.

That said, Bishop was clearly a problem. But the root of most offensive troubles in Bomberland were indeed the schoolyard plays kelly started the season with. Some he continued right to the bitter end despite rarely working.

If it were up to me, I change the front office, the head coach, and various members of the offense.

What I would really like to see is a new rule in the CFL. teams must be 80% Canadian born.
