The changes just keep coming in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers player personnel department.

The club announced Sunday afternoon that director of player personnel John Murphy has been relieved of his duties — almost a year after he was hired by ex-head coach Mike Kelly to replace Brendan Taman.

The announcement came in a one-sentence press release with no comment from anyone in the executive explaining the decision.

Murphy’s firing comes just two days after the Bombers announced the hiring of Joe Mack as their new vice president and general manager of player personnel – a position Murphy had coveted.
