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

For those who are sweating with anticipation, this ^^ is the kind of announcement I expect the Bombers to make very soon. 

A full staff announcement when everyone is in place.

Which is fine. But isnt OC the only role needing to be filled? I suppose if they promote buck its OC and QB coach. Is there any other position needing to be filled?

Lapo was also the WR coach

I wonder if buck will be OC + QB coach. Should be some decent coin saved under the coaches cap. Be nice to pick up another guy to develop. Is markus howell a FA right now?

Terrence Edwards would be a solid WR coach

I thought I heard him lobbying to be a scout.

Not sure he wants to coach.

I remember him seemingly BEGGING the Bombers for a job on Twitter.... I think he mentioned both scouting and coaching. I think he just really really wants a job..

For a guy who blah blahs about respect, you sure sound like a **** sometimes

TE would be 100% the right choice for WR asst

Nice to have that clarified, dressing 3 Qb being now an option is nice but really for a teams future how do you not try to groom a future Qb in that spot?

Loophole to dress Strev as a non QB and have him on field at anytime.. at the sake of who or what on roster but is intruiging option

Randy Ambrosie is honestly a ******* joke. Just read the Walters interview where he said that as it was explained to him at the beginning of 2019, the NFL window would allow you to let players (Kongbo, as an example) try out and sign with NFL teams even if they weren’t on an expiring deal.

Now the rules change after the season and after we spend a first round pick on him?

That should be a major point of contention for any GM in the league. Ambrosie is doing an awful job for the league at this point, but hey at least we’re gonna be able to put some guy from Finland that nobody’s ever heard of on our roster this year, even though he’s not fit to carry a ball bag.

Based on what?  Because he played receiver and you recognize his name?

I agree. One of the worst commissioners for over reacting and changing rules on the fly.

Questionable taste in scarves as well. For a guy who played so many years in the CFL I'm shocked about the way he's running the league from changing rules on the fly to this CFL 2.0 thing.  There seems to be no real plan on how he's doing things. Just flying by the seat of his pants.

Not a good example. He wouldn't have signed if he couldn't pursue NFL interest.

Quote

"When we selected Jonathan in (the) CFL draft, he chose to sign with our organization rather than wait a season to continue training," Bombers GM Kyle Walters said in a statement at the time. "This agreement came with the understanding that if he received any NFL interest, we would work with him to help him pursue those interests."

He said on the roster, not on the active roster. Teams can only have 2 QBs dressed on game days.
