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

Nichols signs a 3 year deal with TO

3 years? Whoa. Good for him and good business for the Argos. He's a good QB, who makes smart decisions and should help.

hopefully they gethim some help on the o-line...hate to see him get pounded over and over...but congrats to Matt...very good QB and even better guy

Good news. All the best in TO, Matty!

awesome...stoked for him. Hope he lights it up anytime he's not playing us.

Good for him. Here’s to hoping he can turn that franchise around too.

Great to see good QBs on all the teams - or at least potentially good - no lame ducks heading into this season

Will be interesting to see the numbers...  bet Franklin wishes he'd signed Popp's extension...

So back up selection... James Franklin, Jonathon Jennings, Tony Pipkin, Dakota Prukop, Brandon Bridge, Logan Kilgore...

Sean McGuire

For  a backup here... Franklin, Pipkin, Jennings in that order and only on club friendly terms.

Dinwiddie has a pretty nice coaching staff... hope it works out for him

Fred Reid, Ike Charlton, Kevin Eiben...

All spoiled with the hiring of Jarious Jackson as O.C., poor Matty, bad fit.

Matt signs for 3 after MBT signs for 1. Toronto makes it clear who they think will be their starter. Good luck to Matt.

Or absolutely none of those people because they are awful and we see where we get with our own qbs 

no question McGuire is our QB2. I'm curious who QB3 is gonna be. The midwinter tryout camp coming soon.....

I think there's definitely a question.  McGuire is totally unproven.  He has done nothing to inspire such confidence.

Neither did Streveler or Evans or any backup.. Arbuckle was a backup. I mean eventually you go with your guy over guys who have shown all they are is a backup. Veterans are good for rooms but playing? Gimme the unproven Mcguire over the proven at best Backup. The younger guy needs to play in order to see what you got. At worst Mcguire is 1 of the vets some want to sign, but maybe he's more. I think he is. His mechanics and smarts in limited reps have been pretty solid.

They got rid of Bennett for a rookie,  so he inspired that much.

it's not about what we think...it's about knowing how The Trinity thinks. And there's NO QUESTION they have McGuire penned in as QB2. Promote from within is exactly how they work.

At first thought, I recoiled at the prospect of Pipkin as #3 QB here, but, come to think of it, he hasn't had the string of poor performances and losses that most of the others have. God knows, he is athletic and if he can control his temper and impulsiveness, he might be a good pickup. I remember how incensed he was when others on the Als played poorly and essentially gave the games away. If that passion can be channeled, who knows?

What reps? He's thrown 2 passes. I'm not saying he's bad but i hope to see another experienced qb brought in.  If McGuire wins the job, so be it.

Whatever gave you that impression????

The #2 backup QB situation McGuires very little  overthinking.
