I’m a new CFL fan, so I don’t know the name Buck Pierce offhand, but that’s an impressive resumé. Lions fans are pleased, I imagine
Pierce was Winnipeg’s QB during the dark ages (2010-2013), but has been a very vocal fan of Winnipeg as a city, and has been on the coaching staff since he retired as a player in 2014. He seems like a really good dude.
BC is the only other team in the CFL he ever played for - he was with them prior to his time with Winnipeg, and again briefly during his last year before retirement.

Why did the Bombers get rid of him in the office?
On or around Grey Cup Sunday (I can’t remember exactly which, but I don’t think it had anything to do with the outcome of the game), they said on TSN that Pierce was being granted the opportunity to speak with other clubs about an HC position. It sounds like it was pretty amicable - everyone knows that upward mobility is a challenge in the league.
