Taman Will Soon Be Named Riders GM

Roger Currie, who hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders pre-game show on CKRM in Regina told us today that Brendan Taman will soon be named general manager of the Riders.

Currie, and a second source in Regina, told www.rivercitysportsblog.com that Taman will be named GM before the end of the week. Taman, the former GM of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, joined the Riders midway through the 2009 season after leaving the Bombers “in order to take some time off.”

Taman grew up in Saskatchewan and started as a ball boy with the Riders. He also worked for Ottawa and B.C., but really came into his own as a bird dog and GM under Dave Ritchie in Winnipeg.

    Good pick up for the Riders. He will have big shoes to fill in Tillman, who in the office was a wizard.
