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

Rulk started a thread about not getting to play us 3 times this year and that they look at those games as guaranteed wins..... I really hope it's meant as a joke. That or someone needs to tell him we have a better record against them over the past 5-6years.

4-4 over the last two years... 2-4 in the regular season... 2-0 in the playoffs... I’ll take that “guaranteed win” every year...

Good Imp ol aren't the rareity they used to be. Teams don't want to give big front loaded deals to older imp ol. 

The xfl seems desperate for proven guys who can pass and pass protect. Plus it's like the old AFL risk for a pay cheque and a half each year. He comes back later to the neediest team. 

OMG its the mass exodus to the XFL that Justin Dunk warned us about...!!!

I am surprised that he didn't sign in Toronto....

Dunno man - there were quite a few struggling OTs this past season.

Not for lack of talent. A lot of things cause struggles on the ol, chemistry and the right group of guys goes a long long ways. Hardrick was a BC cast off before becoming a corner stone of our OL for instance. 

You cant just pick up a great OL, plug em in and turn around your OL. The riders have been trying to buy their OL for years with no success. A good or better OL is the sign of a good team/coaching staff. 

😲Could you imagine living in Saskatchewan with no indoor plumbing, no paved roads,  no airport to fly out of there, no electricity, no anything?

I used to agree....  and then journeyman Hardrick turned into a dominant RT, Speller and Couture stepped in for Goossen without missing a beat, Desjarlais beat out Gray...

Calgary has had a plug and play OL, its starting to look more and more like its coaching and culture...  so Sask is still fkd

Even with bryant, the OL it self is greater then the sum of its parts. If any thing that proves the point that its about the unit and not a singular player. Bond was far more dominant here then hardrick. Which is hard for a guard to do. Couture and speller had been here a while, gray was hurt thats why desjarlais came in. Its not just the coaches, the front office finds the modular pieces, guys with talent and the right mind set to fit in and the coaching staff molds them into a unit. 

100% coaching culture and scouting. We are still seeing fruits of the work of bob wiley as well. 

If you develop an OL a good team will end up with a good player. A bad team it doesnt matter if you sign a denis or bond etc you will continually field a crap OL.  Costello is in his guy and in his style.  3 years of wiley, 1 splashy sign and a bunch of internal development has left us with the deepest OL in the league.
