Here’s hoping he gets the chance. Complete clean slate to start fresh. It is so time to get Sean Fleming at the top of the organization. Why on earth not? He knows money, he knows Edmonton, and he damn well knows The Eskimos (no I’m not advocating to go back). Whom ever gets the top job, the board absolutely has to get this hire right!

The thing to consider about Flemming is that he is held in very high regard by the community as is. If he were to take the role and it floundered, that could negatively affect his future in the community.There are better things in the world than beer but beer sort of compensates for not getting them.

I read that article with the list and while it limits your options, if they want to rebuild the brand and trust in the fan base, they have to bring in some former players both as the Pres and GM and those guys have to live in Edmonton and be part of the community. Listening to Gregor. As an example McMannis lives in the States. I am sorry, that doesn't cut it.
The last to Pres who had ZERO ties not only to the team but to the City before taking the job have so badly damaged the team they need a Pres who lives here. People need to see that guy in the community. Pumping gas in his car. Going to all of the big events that are the no brainers but more importantly, the little events that a out of town guy wouldn't go to. When they speak, they need to talk about the past team, what is used to be like, what the Edmonton franchise meant to the CFL and the City and actually know what they are talking about because they were part of it. Having some guy talk to the fans about the past when prior to taking the job they may or may not have had any clue the Esks/Elks existed means squat to me.
See above for the GM.
If they want to bring in other guys on that list as backfiller, cool. But IMO, the front guys need to have ties to the team and community if they want a chance to repair the brand.Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.
