I think Mos has been working off a 1-year for a bit, though. It certainly isn't optimal if you need to change your HC/coaching staff. But if you don't even factor that in, it lets you adjust the HC pay around the coaching staffs each year.

Dinwiddie is a hell of a coach. As a GM, who knows? The talent pipeline coming in to Ott isn't anywhere near what it was in TO. How he does will depend a lot on which of the scouting team comes with him.

To me it would be weird if any of the coordinators had contracts longer than the head coach but what do I know

If Toronto is looking for a replacement I know a real up-and-coming offensive co-ordinator that might fit.

That is possible, I don't think the term was ever announced.

Hogan contract could very well be expiring and that's the end of that.

Crazy indeed. I was just opining that we would offer him a similar role... I still can't believe the Argos messed up that badly. Their problems didn't occur because of Dinwiddie. Pinball kind a seems like a coach killer... I wonder if toronto makes the same offer to Mos, boy this off season could be real interesting. Right? They already have some of his old buddies too in Eiben, Marshall, and costanza.

Pinball will give Osh a blank cheque... Curious to see if he takes it.

Whew..... Ottawa hires Dinwiddie as HC and GM. Wow... Osh to Toronto?? Crazy times.....

How many Cos have the mafia canned? Hall stepped into a lower role for JY. Lapo left for a HC gig. Bellefeuille had his contract expire. Paul Boudreau had his deal expire with no extension offered. That one was more public, we aren't bringing you back. Then we canned Gary Etcheverry between seasons while under contract. Wow, that is depressing. Hogan is every bit as bad as Etch was here. He 100% deserves the axe. Boy, I can not fathom trying to run it back with Hogan...

if you read between the lines...aprt of what BO is saying about re-signing here is dependant on whats around him .....and he talking other offensive talent be it on the line....reciever and most importantly who is gonna create the offence.....and rightfully so What player on either side of the ball would wanna re-up here, let alone sign here fresh with the knowing they likely to be playing with...or behind garbage, and garbage coaching....I'll tell you....none...zero...careers are short enough as it is and the window to win even shorter which is the main goal of any player Guys who will tho...The JT's....Kolo's....the aged out guys with zero future who can still play a bit...but not at elite levels...and prob nowhere else, and offer zero upside...thats who...kinda what we have littered our roster with the last 3 ..4 yrs and the end results spoke for themselves....

I believe it was a recent Free Press article.

Curious what you're basing him wanting Hogan back on

I hope I am wrong on both counts, but it looks like O'Shea will be back and he apparently wants Hogan back. FOURLETTERWORD!

He is big enough to run through arm tackles, with similar running power to Bell, Butler, and Rankin. It's not like Brady is out there trucking through guys every carry. especially not this year. As long as you are reasonably quick with decent balance and a basic level of running power, you can churn out yards. We could also bring in a 3rd back on a base deal who is more polished than MCI, with pile pushing power. If MCI takes a step forward, it isn't really needed. Or if Peterson does either tbh. If neither does, we can accomplish our goal with the run game. If you take out Peterson's longest run, he's still getting 4.4 yards per, and looking back at his game logs, only 29% of his carries went from less than 4 yards. Cooley was double that. Augustine had drastically worse splits here. We don't need 200+ carries out of him a year.

With how long he's fought and the number of head strikes he's taken, you can probably add Max Holloway to the list too. He's just not as far gone as Tony.

yes and no...He isnt as physical for sure....but he also hits line faster and has more explosive ability and likely would break longer runs at times....maybe home run hitter types...so 6 of this...half dozen of the other thing...But wouldn't wanna rely on him as a bell cow at this time....yet....A 2 headed deal tho with him and MCI could be workeable....as why they havnt been working him more and feeling out his b=value is been an utter waste Uber athletic...prob one of the most in league really and great body type for CFL...Especially if they can implement him into the passing game more...He could be like a James Wilder type back minus the ****** if we put in the effort and could see the forest thru the tree's with guys on the roster But nope...lets Pidgeon hole guys into roles and responsibilities that accentuate nothing about them or potential, and ride the "known" commodities until there's nothing left to ride...or we ride them into the dirt due to injury and then are scrambling with a lack of depth and trust in any backup guy.... nope...practice are a wasteland to prove anything...much less supplant a guy ahead of you...you have to use the ability to see and project talent/worth and roll with it....again...somethjing we dont do unless forced to cause a guy is literally in a body cast

Yeah I'm not as impressed by him as some others. He's a very solid change of pace guy, but not someone I'd want to take over for Brady.

Same reason we don't blame Darrell Patterson for guys like Thomas and Korny. You can't take a sow's ear and make a silk purse. 100%

I don't think you can really do much evaluation in practice at all when it comes to non-vets. It's a little more than a warm-up before a game now. Rust isn't an issue, a chance to progress for sure that lots of guys need. Eli has played as much as a 6th OL can. I really think thats just a case of how we value the 6th ol and the love of kola for mos.

He controls the roster and what the coaches have to work with....sure assistants will have some input...at end of the day tho it's who he elected to keep...then roster...Begins and ends with the HC for most part Same with how's on the field as well on both sides of the ball...He may not have created the playbook...but he has the play card in his mitts all game....both sides of the ball and can say what he wants out there on any given play and what player package he prefers too...and his co-ord will send em out If anyone truly believes Younger would want Korn and Thomas taking more reps doing jackshit for example...than any other interior lineman we rostered....or refused to roster is just way out to lunch...moreso than even dear leader...It's classic case of making chicken salad outta chickenshit If Younger had the right guys up front...his scheme would be lethal....that also goes for some questionable usage of guys in back end as well

Lowry extension coming soon.

Why is O'Shea this boogeyman controlling the OL and not the OL coach?

Eli has started and been the 6th OL for 5 seasons. He's played a ton. He played over half of the playoff game you just watched.
