Danny McManus is feeling “blue”. But it’s a good thing for Danny Mac. McManus has been named the Assistant General Manager and Director of U.S. Scouting for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Hired by his former Tiger-Cat teammate, Kyle Walters, who is Winnipeg’s GM.

The 48-year old McManus, who quarterbacked the Ticats for 8 years, has spent the last 6 seasons in football operations. He was promoted to Director of U.S. Scouting in 2013. He began his CFL playing career in Winnipeg in 1990 and won a Grey Cup that year. The Bombers still have to name a new head coach to replace Tim Burke. Mike O’Shea and Khari Jones are rumoured to be the frontrunners.
