Great article.

interesting read. I thought last year there was an interview with Walters that said something along the line of the offseason basically goes in in cycle with the coaches,  this time of the year the coaches would be getting together to discuss FA and who/what they need/want, after that they go through piles of film on potential draftees, then work mini camps after the draft.    I could have made this all up of course in a dream

Cool article. I wonder how effectively they can measure variables. Such as: a defensive player making an outstanding play that does not usually get made. Or, a certain  play is very effective but a certain opposing D is adept at stopping it, perhaps due to their skill set.

It is an interesting read 

Do you think Lapo has any interest being headcoach in TO?

No. I don't think so.

You bet your bippy. I would bet he is looking eastward to The Big Smoke.

By the time the Argos get around to hiring a HC, I'm not sure any team would give permission for the Argos to speak to an assistant.

Believe there is a deadline approaching where other teams coaches are off limits.

Most teams ask their Asst's to commit to the next season by the end of January or sooner.   Would the WBB's hold him back if he's offered a HC job?  I doubt it.  That's not how they operate.  

However, I think Lapo has a good thing going in Winnipeg and he knows it.  Plus Toronto needs to make a big splash personnel  wise and I don't  think Lapo fits the bill. They need  a big name who will bring back the crowds.  That's why I think they'll through a ton of money at Trestman.  To me it makes the most sense. 

It's league mandated after last years Redblacks and Eskimo arguement over Maas

Jan 31 is the last day.

Umm, you can bet they would if losing him means that they can't in turn go after someone else.  Once the deadline rolls around, everyone knows that the team is under no obligation whatsoever to give permission.

So no team can poach someone on a coaching staff after Jan 31?... under any circumstances?.... if Argos GM Jim Popp (I don't know just seems to make sense ) calls up Wade Miller and asks to speak with LaPo about the HC job, can Wade allow that... or is the call not even allowed?

Not allowed - won't be happening. They'll be hiring either from within, or someone not currently coaching. Guaranteed.

I suspect that this year the Argos will basically know that it's a write off and just get a place holder until they can do a proper search next season. At least that's what would be smart if you ask me. How do you bring everything together this close to the season when you can't pick people from other teams? Take a knee this year and make next year their focus.

As I understand it he's not allowed to call Wade Miller regardless of the date - he has to call the league first.

Might have quite a few people getting job experience they would otherwise have had to wait a while for.
