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

No mention of the one change the Argos made which will make a bigger positive impact than all of the others combined?

Dinwiddie?

They signed MBT's ancestors?

Discounted tickets?

Dinwiddie?

Yeah... But the other side of that.

Hard to imagine a more poorly coached season than what we had to suffer last season.

IDK if Dinwiddie is a top tier or even mid tier head coach... But mere competence will look a quantum leap forward by comparison.

Oh us bomber fans don't need to imagine it, we've lived through it before.

Did you forget we lived through Reinbold, Daley and Burke? Thanks for triggering me. I need a juice box, play dough and my safe space now.

Moving the team to Halifax?

Desperate for credibility they try to build a team through signing expensive FAs. Truly uncharted waters for the Argos

This off season won't spell immediate success for the Argos. But the blue print for winning in the CFL is clear. Quality CNDs - Line control - QB. (not necessarily in that order). They are taking the right steps toward that. Trick will be maintaining it for he next few years.

Argo's.....green head coach....Yes we've seen that before and the lack lustre result...I hope Dimwoodie is as cerebral as they say....argos are gonna need a mastermind

They don't have the luxury of a huge solid fan base that will continually watch the games thru thick and thin. They can't do the same process of rebuilding like the Bombers did. They need to be credible and relevant like right now.

I mean ... they could do a proper rebuild. This just seems silly though. Unless their scouts can find an entirely brand new wealth of depth.

Giving almost a million dollars away for the combination of Matt Nichols, TJ Jones and Davaris Daniels is ridiculous.

Yeah Bluto- feel for you, man. 

I think this season will be a much better season.

Plus Lokombo and Ackie can't be cheap contracts either

I won't fault them for signing those guys...  I do have a bit of curiosity on why they over paid on guys who haven't proven themselves as of yet though. 

BREAKING: #Riders sign Canadian OL Josiah St. John 3downnation.com/2020/02/12/202… #Saskatchewan #CFL #CFLFA

Great player, needed some time to develop, now definitely a top tier talent that needs an opportunity. 

At worst a quality back up that can play multiple positions if asked to do it on a short term.

Very happy with this signing.

 

How did I do?

 

This is the absolute meaning of desperation. Looks so good on O'Day and Rider Nation lol!
