Herb Zurkowsky- Montreal Gazette
For the seventh time since 2012, the Alouettes are seeking a warm body to coach their team. After Dan Hawkins, Jim Popp, Tom Higgins, Popp again, Jacques Chapdelaine and Kavis Reed, fans would hope that one of these times the organization’s bound to get it right.
With Paul LaPolice signing a contract extension with Winnipeg that includes a financially hefty escape clause, (???) that leaves Devone Claybrooks, Corey Chamblin, Marcel Bellefeuille, Jamie Elizondo and Mark Washington.
This could be a considerable list, including the likes of Tracy Ham, Tom Clements and a number of other CFL coordinators, such as Mike Benevides, Marcus Brady, Khari Jones, Richie Hall and Mark Nelson. And don’t forget Laval head coach Glen Constantin
Here are some names to consider — Stubler, a favourite of Reed’s; Chris Palmer, who once coached with the Als (1983) before going to the NFL and was a Cleveland Browns’ head coach; Western head coach Greg Marshall, the other Vanier Cup finalist and a former Hamilton head coach. Even Danny Barrett, who’s coaching Miami’s running backs and is a former Saskatchewan head coach.
Reed has said he wants the hiring completed by mid-December..
(Hell, it might take him that long to locate all those names..)
I can just see Greg Marshall jumping at the chance to coach the Als. I mean, can't you??? Stubler? He's almost 70. Would Claybrooks leave the Stamps to go to the Als??? I think it all comes down to all those guys on the list feeling that Reed has the capability to bring in players, how bad the qb situation actually is & if they have faith in Reed as a GM.

no drinks strong enough, would have to develop a serious meth addiction to do that job.
I saw a tweet today with the headline discussing why the Riders lost. I was going to click on the link & then I saw it was written & posted by Rod Pederson so I just ignored it.

Maas can spin it any way he wants but after looking at his call the day after the only conclusion about he call is that he forgot the score.
Hard to feel sorry for a guy who treats his assistants so poorly & has a volatile temper. Ye reaps what ye sows. It all comes back ten fold. Next time he needs to remember a little humbleness & that everybody screws up. Even him. I know it's hard for Jason to accept even he can screw up. If he has a real beef with an assistant take it behind closed doors & work it out.

One wonders how Trestman would look without a HOF qb though... Cause he got some well established veteran qbs both stops.
How would any coach look without a great qb?

So, Walters & O'Shea were talking about how Muamba & Mulamba have given them the cold shoulder. Conversation went something like this:
Walters: Been around the world & I... I... I...
And we been playa hated.
O'Shea: Why?
Walters: I don't know & I don't know why
Why they want us faded
O'Shea: Why?
Walters: Is it our ladies or drop Mercedes?
Baby, baby.
O'Shea: Why?

Wait, we're no longer residents of Rupert's Land...? Oh, boy. Better make sure to take this down after work:
Call Louis Riel long distance & he can straighten you out.

Well unfortunately, we know Stepanie will be there to suck the life out of Raw.

I think his demeanour is comparable to O'sheas. The one difference is Trestman is just so well spoken. You can tell he's highly intelligent.
Not like O'Shea at all. More like Bud Grant.

Hunter did look surprisingly slow. Angle, you'd expect that with his back & neck issues. The ending did suck. So, does the Authority come back & go after Strowman who is now a full blown face? My least favourite match was the Bliss-Flair match. I thought it was awful.
-
When you think of the word choke, the name Calgary Stampeders jumps right out at you. It'll be interesting to see if they shed that label this Sunday. I expect the collars will be tight on every player & coach for this game as there is a lot of pressure on them to win. The Argos? They've got nothing to lose so just go out, play hard, have fun & see what happens.
-
Imagine if Milanovich had stayed & they put the Argos future in the hands of Drew Willy?? For an Argos fan, that's some kind of scary thought. I'd be surprised if Willy even is on a roster next season.

The only thing I question is in a thread like this if you want to pay a tribute to a fallen celeb, athlete or musician then it's hard to do. I've seen videos deleted for musicians & bands because it seems to be judged as inappropriate for some reason. I put up a video for Malcolm Young as I'm a AC/DC fan. Hopefully, it's not taken down.
-
Any thoughts on Survivor Series? I only saw about half but the matches but Bliss & Flair was booked badly. Totally unbelievable from the start to the finish the way they had Alexa dominating Charlotte.

Still don't know if you mean Bombers or Stamps, but since you have Singleton, I assume you mean we Bombers.... Now, having said that, you called Muamba every name in the book after his big tour.... Now you want him on one of your teams?? You're the last guy I ever thought would want Henoc on either of your teams...
After this year I'll take Bonzo The Chimp if he can play MLB.

Do we drive up the Brinks truck to his door?

Well...I guess the call Maas made was at least a realistic field goal? Imagine if he had made that call on a 61-yarder haha...
I think people are also underestimating how much respect he was giving Calgary's offense in that scenario. I think he would look at a tie game with that much time as ample opportunity for Mitchell to march the field for the walk-off FG anyways?
Alex Singleton said that he disrespected the Stamps offense. Maas says he has no regrets with that call. That'll go over like a ton of bricks in Edmonton. No regrets?

Jennings signed through 2018. Don't see how he can wriggle out of it.
He may have an out (window of time) where he can work out for NFL teams.

Are assistant coaches being hired as head coaches too young & not ready for the position? We've seen Paul LaPolice as HC have his issues with indecision as well as strange play calling when he was Bombers HC. We saw Dave Dickenson's decision to go with Andrew Buckley on the goal line that failed in last year's GC. We saw Corey Chamblin win a GC then flames out 2 years later as HC of the Riders. We've seen Jason Maas totally lose it on the sidelines & make that strange FG call yesterday. Most of these young coaches still want to be coordinators instead of just head coaches. They don't have the experience of head coaches in the past. They seem to have a tendency of loading too much responsibilities on themselves. The majority of today's CFL head coaches are generally in their early 40's. Should older & more experienced coaches be hired instead? Is hiring young coaches a liability because they lack the experience to delegate? I see a lot of stubbornness & ego when I look at Maas & Jones to their detriment. I see the same with Reed as well. Of course, I saw a lot of the same stubbornness & ego in Kent Austin as well & he's 54.
