For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

just for a year...or so..then all will be on pavement looking for work

Reinbold has a pretty sweet gig with SKY sports in the UK that he could expand if he is not coaching or in the XFL.

Anybody going to pursue Lapo?

I thought BC originally wanted him?

lots of these "assumptions" are just media speculation...nothing more..nothing less...unless it comes outta the horse's mouth I would never put much weight into it

If Campbell lands in BC, with Mass by his side, I expect Lapo to get a lot of interest from Edmonton and Ottawa. Condell too at both spots. 

Hervey is going to have a hard time making an experienced hire.  I’m surprised he didn’t get canned.

Pete Costanza the receivers coach for the Stamps resigned today after 12 years. Mark Stephen the pbp voice of the Stamps tweeted it was a money issue. I also think the fact he's coached the same position since 2008  now younger coaches are jumping ahead of him in the Stamps also had something to do with it. He was well liked within the Stamps organization & the players liked him as well. He was always rumoured to be the next OC or even HC somewhere but it never materialized.  He knows that Stamps system cold having coached with both Hufnagel & Dickinson so if LaPo leaves he may be a coach worth looking into as an OC. If he wants to stay in the CFL someone will hire him.

Mass is not a good leader to be a HC...to volatile and doesn't garner respect of players like a guy like Oshea gets..Dickenson's..Khari..Orlando

Dickenson is a whiner. When he is miked up it is insuffereable. My hormone affected daughters whined less than that guy. That annoys me in a leadership position.

Question is -- where?

Great tv movie with Brian Dennehy....sorry a little off topic🙄

Well, it is sorta like what happened in Edmonton today.

So with Lapo taking on a HC position are we okay with Buck Pierce getting promoted or do we have a dream candidate to argue about?

 

Also, Dinwiddie as HC in Ottawa? Can't believe that is realistic.

I can definitely see Maas here in a Co-OC role with Buck if he doesn't get a HC job from Ed or Ottawa.

He said before the Grey Cup that Osh is one of his best friends.

He is a good OC , IMO

Hey Reinebold signed witht he Bombers as a head coach from a special teams Coach. That worked wonderfully. I know I was full of wonder on how that all happened. On the other hand MOS also jumped from STC to HC. But he stepped in not rode in on a motorcycle.

Don't forget to mention that Macleans magazine just named that town near your summer cottage,  # 1 for crime per capita in Canada.   And yes it's the town I left after 55 years.

Only go to town for groceries and beer....but yeah...it's a shithole. Paint Lake is beautiful though. BTW, it's number one for violent crime not crime in general...any old city could do that.

Wow, I think I would want to hear that from Osh. I wouldn't want Maas anywhere near this team, would think long and hard about keeping my seats with that asshat on the staff.

True, but his first two seasons were forgettable and many opined he was the wrong choice and continued to do so even into this season. I don't know if there's a special formula for becoming a HC, at least not as far as career progression goes. I think it's got everything to do with a coach's substance that makes him HC material. Reinebold doesn't strike me as the type, much in the same way LaPolice doesn't.

I am good with that. He's totally earned another HC job. He's cemented his legacy here. I am good with what ever he chooses. I would welcome him back just as easily as I would wish him the best of luck and success (except against us)  in his future endeavours.

Oh I agree. I was just throwing shade on the motorcycle BS that Reinebold used in 1997. Fun Fact: Someone stole my coffee cup at work so I used a 1997 Blue Bombers schedule mug I found in the cupboard there. I almost spilled the coffee shaking with the PTSD from that season. 

Speaking of Reinbold should he / is he interested in another shot at HC ?

Harris left off the all star team. More rushing yards, more receiving yards and better team record than Stanback. A lot of voters need to shove it, imo. Self righteous jackasses all of them.

He might be but I don't think there's a team in the CFL that would give him the coaching reigns.  No way no how!

He'd be a great choice for Saskatchewan with Jim Daley as Assistant HC.

The guy who could hire me when I know my job is in jeopardy is always one of my best friends.
