Ahahahahaha!!!
Sorry, this is right on the heels of him 'not being in the mix' for the Edmonton job.
Good for Kelly!

Interesting move. I assume the Knights were worried about losing him to another team unless this was the plan all along.

I think there was always a secession plan that included this move and thats how they got KM to leave Brandon to begin with.
This is likely a year earlier than they planned but was pushed up by their early success as well as the headhunters circling KM to leave for other destinations....not just limited to Edmonton either.

McCrimmon had Seattle circling around him. Vegas definitely acted to ensure he stays.

Yeah, I don't think Edmonton was the threat they pre-empted. Though who wouldn't want to live (in a van) by the river and work with the ghosts of Oiler past.

Yeah, the dance of joy right until the reality sets in that hes the man in charge for one of the biggest dumpster-fires in the history of professional sports.
That'll wipe the grin off his face pretty quickly.

As a visiting fan, I often have to put up with over the top BS of resident fans, but this statement... is just simply true. I just can't think of another north american team that so thoroughly squandered opportunity after opportunity to improve their team for 10 YEARS with still no obvious direction.
Players leave and have success elsewhere... gee, what could that possibly mean?
