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

Zach Collaros and his concussion history are not in a position to rule anything out right now. It's unlikely there will be any teams looking to throw a wad of cash at him so he is simply not ruling anything out. As he should. If Toronto comes calling for him with a dollar number in the same neighborhood as us, and I doubt Walters will offer him much, he will go there.

Maybe Collaros, like Neuf, wasn't really injured for most of the season. Just on the IR to get the younger players playing time and to save SMS. Maybe he isn't an injury issue at all. Heck.. maybe being injury prone isn't a real thing at all. 😂🤣😂

Emojis = Sarcasm indicator, I'm getting it now...

Agree. I'd say the same thing for Nichols contract. At his age, modest resume, and coming off throwing shoulder surgery. Whoever signs him should (key word) give him a modest contract with incentives. Signing him for $500K base salary or more per year is a fireable offence. 

In defence of Nichols,  he was 7-2 when he went down,  and it has been posted here that he would have won the grey cup if he played.

"Stepping" likely isnt the word I would use....it's probably more along the lines of "pushed".

Or seeing the writing on the wall that the coaching staff is going to be let go.

That sound you hear is Osh snapping to attention. 

 

So, Mtl, BC, Ott and Edm have figured out their HC position.

Bombers haven't announced any extension yet for O'Shea. 
And still there's some rumor coming out of Tor linking O'Shea on their HC position. 

Just get it done now Bombers. What's the wait?

Don't like this- very reminiscent of a certain non-import's magical mystery tour. Seems to me to be sure to drive up salaries to unsustainable levels.

Jesus.... looks like it's a done deal

 

The west... is going to be a dog fight this year... 

We need some kind of RFA for younger players under 30. The older guys 30 & up should still be unrestricted.

I am of the opinion that the massive changes in player personnel makes it difficult for fans to identify year to year with a team. There has to be some sort of compromise between losing half a roster off season and players being held hostage.

I'm just straight up confused by this. Why'd he leave in the first place?

I know Jacksonville is struggling, but he seems to have done good work with the QBs. I feel like his job isn't in jeopardy.

If it hasn't started already.

Wow, that’s quite a staff..

 

 

Edmonton just got better. I don't like it.

Milanovich's HC record with the Argos was 43W-47L over 5 full seasons, and that was with Ricky Ray, who he could not protect properly and lost repeatedly to season ending injury after absorbing brutal bone-breaking sacks.   Should we blame Milanovich?   Definitely.

He ended badly in TO.

Not sure it is an instant upgrade.

That GC he won in TO, he was surrounded by the best staff in recent memory. Without that, I'm curious to see what he can do. He'll be a calmer influence on the sideline than Maas (who isn't?) and will likely be a very good fit with Harris.......but outside of that.................

Carrot Top would be a more calming influence on the sidelines than Maas.
