    HUH?!? Why did the Bombers get rid of him in the office? Or did he quit to take this job? I’m not thrilled to see that he’s coming back here.

    Whoever coaches, I want Vernon starting and make Rourke earn his spot again because he was bad this year. Keep him as 2nd string but he was nothing of what he was before he left 2 years ago, that’s why I want Vernon as fulltime starter for now.

      Why did the Bombers get rid of him in the office?

      On or around Grey Cup Sunday (I can’t remember exactly which, but I don’t think it had anything to do with the outcome of the game), they said on TSN that Pierce was being granted the opportunity to speak with other clubs about an HC position. It sounds like it was pretty amicable - everyone knows that upward mobility is a challenge in the league.

        I statement like that could mean anything from “If you see an opportunity somewhere else, we’re not goijg to stop you, do what you want.” to “Buck, check if you can find a position with a different team because this is not working for us.”

        I will watch how he does next season and if it was worth bringing him back.
