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

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.

you can call them jackasses but I think deep down we all knew that Harris would be snubbed by the media for the year end awards.   .

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.

 

He seemed pretty good as an OC in Toronto and Ottawa?

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

Come on man. That is so cruel even to the flatbillies.

I think he can work as an OC just not the boss. We all have worked with odd ducks but it is only hell when the quacking comes from the boss.

Is it though? Look deep inside yourself and ask yourself... is it really?

I would look at Maas as an OC.  However, I still hold by my belief that Buck should be the next OC.   Unless for some reason he doesn't want to move on from QB's coach.

I think MOS would temper his tantrumous ways... 

 

Duck, MOS is legendary. He really is. 

 

I love the fact that during our play off run - the team took on the identity of MOS

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

Just saw this on Penton's insider portion of his column this week.

Quote

• When we signed Justin Medlock he said he hated Jeff Reinebold more than any coach he had ever played for. Beating Reinebold Sunday had to be sweet for Justin.

Now that he's been to the top and shown who he is I am not sure he can get back to those ways. Would much rather roll with Buck.

I think he showed who he was a QB already, he acted the exact same way.

Osh has coached with him already as well.

I wonder what the back story is on that, seems weird. Medlock would be in the position to make that assessment but I wonder what his reasoning would be.

You'd also need to make sure the glass was shatter proof plus nail down all items in the booth so that they couldn't become projectiles.

Could be, I don't want him here. Other than the entire Rider organization he's probably my most hated person in the CFL. I don't know that Wade would sign off on it, just think how close to exploding Wade's head was yesterday with Nichols F-bombs, that just getting warmed up for Maas...

I understand the dislike

Hey I said he could be an OC, I never said I want him to be an OC here. I would rather seem him work somewhere else. I have no idea how far along the line Buck is but it is always good for an organisation to promote when it is appropriate.

We are talking like it is a given that LAPO is out of here. I think he is too but he will probably be back in 5 years for round 4.

They do know that Dinwiddie didn't call the plays. Dickenson did.  Hiring Dinwiddie is as high risk as it gets.

He'll always have headsets to throw!

He is going somewhere to be a HC.

Question is -- where?

Hmmm ... I'm wondering who is going to be his OC. Buck Pierce?

 

Regardless of where he goes, Lapo will cash in as HC/OC. Teams have to pay for Grey Cup winning OC. 

With endorsement from O'Shea: "I have nothing to do with it (speaking of play-calling on Offense), it's all on Lapo"

Good for him- see it seems to have worked out so much better for Lapo, Lots of interest from lots of teams for HC position.

If he would have been granted permission to talk to Sask that late in the season... No Grey Cup, no Grey cup winning OC for leverage, No cementing Legacy here in Winnipeg and worse than all that... possibly would have been HC of the riders...

I'm not sure how I feel about Maas coming on board. I do believe he's a good offensive mind, but he's also a lunatic and generally those personalities don't fly in The Trinity's WBBFC culture....
