Assistant GM

From Rod's Blog:

Quote:
Another announcement coming down the pike soon will be about the Riders' new assistant General Manager. A friend of mine in the league asked me to put a good word in for him with Kenny on Friday but when I did, Miller said they've all but filled that position. They've identified the guy and are now negotiating his deal.

Any ideas on whom it could be?

I know Stronson is pulling for John Murphy. Any other names out there?

John Murphy is going to end up in Toronto with Jim Barker I think, or not work at all and sit on his money owed this year by the Bombers, or collect that money and work in NFL circles. Jim Barker knows this guy's value so I doubt we'd get him now.

Murphy would be ideal....but looks unlikely.

Probably the usual names...McCarthy, Rambo

Can't see it being either one of these guys. It would be considered a step down for them.

I suspect assistant GM has nothing to do with scouting...probably does the Tony Playtor type stuff.

Carm would miss hanging out sunning himself in the stands during practice. He might actually have to get up off his butt and do something.

Roger Aldag would have no one to talk to at practice unless McCormick decides to show up on time

I wonder if this is the position that they wanted to speak with Bobby Dyce about? Dyce is the Bombers' draft coordinator.

Wow what a confidence boost for Taman... First he loses some power to Miller and now he needs an assistant GM. Have we recently had an assistant gm?? And what would an assistant GM do??

Taman was essentially the Assistant GM until he got promoted. I really like what I am seeing out the Riders - basically they have an expanded org structure in place and now they are looking to fill out the positions. It also bodes well for the future and succession planning.

Taman said during his presser that there are things that he doesn't do well but was doing in Winnipeg. If this assistant GM takes care of those things, that is a good thing.

Unless it's not what they said it was Fantuz should be signed soon. They said he had a deal with Tillman and Miller before he was a free agent.
