What a shocker. He's a ###### you can tell that from his interviews. I hope he gets fired for a cowardly act.

Didn't he just get re-signed?

If he keeps his job after this, it'll prove the Bombers have officially fallen to Saskatchewan levels.

At least the Riders have a replacement waiting should Eric Tillman land in jail.

I'm guessing the Oakland Raiders are suddenly interested in him.

Come on guys, Mike Kelly is a good guy.

This whole assault thing "Has been dealt with internally, and it's a non-issue".
Hope some of you get that reference.

The way this guy has carried himself with the media, it doesn't supprise me to see this news now.

You have to wonder too, if this doesn't let the bombers get out of having to pay Kelly for the remainder of his contract. That way they're only paying 2 head coaches next year instead of 3.

he's got an ego problem and don't deserve to be employed by the CFL. I can understand it if he's been in the league for a long time and as successful as Don Matthews does. Winnipeg is his first head coaching job and rub his players the wrong way already.

CFL need more classy coaches like Tressman, Buono and Hufnagel. Even Hall and Miller are okay.

The way he stuck it to Lefores and made him take a pay cut or else get released to earn zero makes it sweet justice that he handed the organization yet another item to release him for cause.

They said on QR that he did not have a code of conduct clause in his contract. My thinking is the only way it gets the Bombers off the hook is if Canadian Immigration denies him entry based on a criminal record.
