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

MEH. Just another hyped up NFL guy who is "definietly a ratio breaker", without any experience in the CFL and mediocre success (if that) in the NFL. I don't expect him in Winnipeg, I also don't think he will be anywhere near the level Farhan is projecting.

I would sure work him out and have a look. Not everyday NFL calibre NAT WRs come on the open market. Maybe he is over hyped but maybe he is the real deal.

in 5 NFL seasons (45 games played) he had 67 catches for 852 yards and 5 TDs... decent and effective as a NFL receiver... we'll never know how he'd be as a CFL receiver until we see it...

also 14 KO returns for 292 yards, and 29 Punt Returns for 289 yards...so has usefull skill set

The ask has been revealed.

Wow!

 

 

Arbuckle ask is not a shock at all...  he's going in to Ottawa to be the starter obviously

RB's better hope Arbuckle doesn't contract the Willy virus (with no disrespect to Drew Willy, I'm sure he's a great human being)

In September 2015, a bunch of us volunteers were taking a Grey Cup security awareness course in the Blue and Gold room at the stadium. It was being put on by the US Department of Homeland Security. Anyway, we were on a break and we went out to the little lobby at the top overlooking the stadium and were watching practice. Matt Nichols had just arrived in town and was taking reps. Drew Willy was sitting there watching practice taking notes and eating chicken. A group of us were watching the QBs tossing fade routes into the end zone, and commenting how nice of a ball Nichols seemed to throw. Willy got up with his plate of chicken and left, we never thought anything of it, until the next day when we took our break and were informed that at the request of the ball club this area would now be off limits to us during the break and we would have to go down to the main stands if we wanted to watch practice during the break. Only guy who was there was Willy the day before.

Lapo swinging the axe....I wonder who he has on our fa list that would fit his club....We better get ]re-upping' going in earnest

Good on him cutting those guys... at least they have a chance to sign somewhere else before free agency.

I wonder if Jennings gets another chance?

Probably here if Streveler leaves...

Once again .... I'd way rather have growing pains with McGuire then Jennings.  I'm pretty sure at this point if we want a qb who will toss random passes into double coverage that any random qb could do the same.

I don't understand the fascination of bringing in someone new who has zero knowledge of our system and guys and who completely sucked with their last team.

I give you Collaros as a guy who has zero knowledge of our system and completely sucked on their last team. That's what folks are hoping for.

Nichols didn't completely suck with Edmonton ,  some folks were surprised that they demoted him because of his play.     Are you really going to compare Kilgore with Nichols??
