Joe Mack, who was with the Bombers from 1984-87, will be officially unveiled as the team’s general manager and director of football operations at a 10 a.m. news conference on Friday.
The story was broken early Thursday afternoon on Winnipeg’s 92-CITI-FM.
Mack has not held a CFL position since he left the Bombers in 1987, but he has worked with three NFL franchises — Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins. He won a Grey Cup ring with the Bombers in 1984 and helped build the team that won in 1988 and he won a Super Bowl ring with Washington in 1992.
Mack is a tremendous football man and an outstanding guy. This is a great first step for the rebuilding Bombers.
