Buck Pierce Lions HC

Wishing Buck all the success in the world however I think it would be a mistake IMHO, for him to take on HC and OC duties.....especially as a rookie HC.

I guess his hats depend on how much FO $SMS Campbell ate.  I think there is a one time exemption if they wanted to use it.

Any word on how big / long the contract it?  Did I miss that?

Rourke earning some of those PR dollars.

Buck could end up as the next Claybrooks: promoted beyond his competency.  If BC goes from #3W to basement, he could be the scapegoat.

I wonder if Buck's move down from the booth to field level in '24 was him purposefully trying to be more HC-like.  It always seemed like such a strange choice.  Maybe he knew this was the year he was finally going to bite on the HC job.

Ironically, we made major changes to the staff in FA24 explicitly to get Buck more money... all for naught.

Ya he does. He reminds me of a rich spoiled brat who looks down on people, wait a minute, that's exactly who he is!!

I want to reiterate my thanks to and for Buck for all his years as OC and also unit coach before that.  No matter the outcome of the last 3 GCs, I'm extremely thankful he led us to Western championships all these years.  I can handle losing cups as long as I get the sweet, sweet consolation prize of making greenies and orangies depressed every year!

So thanks Buck!  I hope it works out for you.  (But Bombers are gonna be W Champs again in '25!)

great word.....had to look that up

"Backpfeifengesicht

it is one of the rare swear words that not only describe the person you want to offend but literally tells a story in itself. It consists of the parts Backpfeife and Gesicht. The latter simply means "face," the first describes a specific kind of slap. Backpfeife is already a gem of a word. Literally, it translates to "cheek whistle." So when you give someone a Backpfeife, you hit him on his cheek so hard that he hears a whistle in his ears."
