The shakeup in Winnipeg is starting after the Blue Bombers’ embarrassing loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in CFL action Sunday.

This morning, the club announced the firing of special teams coordinator Pat Tracey. In a press released, the Bombers said head coach Mike O’Shea will oversee the special teams for the rest of the season.

Winnipeg was hammered 37-19 by the previously winless Roughriders in the annual Labour Day Classic, dropping the Bombers to 3-7. The team has lost its last four contests.
