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

Hope Willie likes playing in front of a bantam football sized crowd at BMO Field. No one will care & how will that lack of recognition appeal to his ego? 

If we lose Willie, I hope we go after Davis, who would be a nice consolation imo. Suspect we leave it bringing back Roh to rotate with Jeffcoat and McCallister.

Argos release McEwen and Holmes...  their starting C and LG

Nichols will not last the season.

Chris Casher is super underrated... he's a WJ style pass rusher - would be a great signing

Maybe they are going all American on the OL ha

Most of you want McGuire as the backup. Hoping he's at least as good as Streveler was last year after a few starts under his belt, not like most of the rest of the backup QB's we brought into the league between Brock in the mid 70's and Streveler a couple of years back.

He is a big boy with a live arm. He is not a mini Mac Truck like Streveler was. He reminds me of a Mike Reilly or a Don Jonas type although I know most of you never saw Jonas play.

What I don't know is if he is a good field general. I'm sure we'll find out.

 

MR with Walker and Burnham is a nice air attack. Too bad, they'll have to play 3 guys they scouted from the tailgate on the OL.

I'm both an Argo fan and a fan of MBT. I believe he is going to end up as the No. 1 QB for Argos, despite being guaranteed about $133k less than Nichols (if reports are accurate). If I'm right, and with O'Connor developing nicely, 2020 might be Nichols' only year in Toronto. But I'm happy to have him for now as it's clear you need two viable QBs in this league. Argos had just one the past two years, and it wasn't the guy they handed the job to four times along the way (Franklin). 

But, but, Nichols is twice the QB MBT is!

If Nichols is healthy he isn't sitting behind MBT

Not at $350K a season.

I wonder if Toronto goes for Couture?

That and a defense reminiscent of the 2019/2020 Winnipeg Jets. Theyre gonna need all those receivers to help score 40 points a game to have any chance of winning.

That was more of a "fudged his pants, get me the **** out of here, curled up in the fetal position, sucking his thumb" terrified.

Looks like we found the other Argo fan! PW13 and Bluto. Two more and they will double their season ticket holders

I'm glad to come to a forum with such original thinking.

Nobody is like Jefferson.  His value is his ability to play the ball and disrupt passing lanes.  He's an average pass rusher in terms of consistently disrupting the pocket, he's not a motor guy.  When he's on he's the most impactful player in the league, but that's a few games a year.  Luckily one of those games was the Grey Cup.

Unpopular opinion here, but Jeffcoat is a significantly better player down after down, and a guy who also creates turnovers.  Obviously having them both would be great.

I like Casher too, he's a motor guy who finishes plays and has a bit of an edge.

I didn't want to say it, because I'm good with whatever the Bombers do, but WJ5 disappearing for many games at a time concerns me. As you say, when he's on, he's worth every penny. When he's not, which can be for stretches of the schedule, that money seems like a waste... 

I'd love to have Jefferson back but if he gets too expensive and we sign say Davis or Laing, I'd be good with that too.
