Riders President and CEO Jim Hopson announced this afternoon that Brendan Taman will remain as general manager of the football club despite the team's 5-13 season and that Jeremy O'Day is now the assistant general manager. Here is how it shook down at Mosaic this afternoon starting with Hopson and Taman followed by O'Day.

So we win in 1966, wait until 1989 to do it again, then we threepeat in 2007. By keeping Taman around we stay right on schedule to win again in 2027 or 2028.
ReplyDeleteThe Riders could have made this exact hiring move last year but decided to promote Ken Miller to VP to 'oversee' Taman. What a joke. So now they have a lame duck GM with a one year contract who is going to try to hire a coach for likely a 3 year contract. The fiasco continues.
ReplyDeleteLook at the roster as it stands today and tell me that Taman hasn't improved or maintained a level of talent.
ReplyDeleteButler, Milo, Barnes, Koch, Wheelwright, Chris Graham, Neufeld. These are all good young players and players that are here because of Taman.
Some of you idiots really need to step back and take a long look at things instead of instantaneous reaction. Doing that causes nothing but problems.
Your buddy BigSexyDawg over on RF.com is all lathered up. Perhaps someone should take him for a rabies shot or just put him down altogether.
ReplyDeleteFreeman not entertaining an NFL offer? Cmon Mitch!! Did you expect him to say that he would shun the best league going to stay in the CFL?
ReplyDeleteWhat an insult to Rider Nation is all I have to say. Its also obvious the BOD have no balls either
ReplyDeleteAn insult to Rider Nation? I'm willing to give Taman a chance. Where do you get your incredible insight? Are you some sort of genius? If you are why are you here and not inventing something useful for the rest of society? Don't ever include me in your circle! Stand up & be counted. What's your name? Go Riders.
ReplyDeleteHey West Central Dave you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see Tamans a career losing GM. What happened to Winnipeg after they turfed him? O ya 1st place. You sound as messed up as Taman and Hopson by the way.
