Well he does work in Ottawa and they (Rough Riders) have drafted a dead player before so this does make some sense!

You just gotta know that Bethel-Thompson will request that room on his next stay in the Peg...................Fastest growing city in North America in 1913 when rail was king......the days when most of my family worked for the railroad before and after the hey day...  CP/CN were a big employer in the Peg, back in 'the day'

Something tells me Taman and this guy would get along:

Real sneaky good hire by the Stamps today. Beau Baldwin is a good QB coach.

Damn that is a really good get for them. 

What'd Beau Baldwin's background?

The good news is there’s a new guy in the league with a name that’s pronounced “Bo”.

2 time big sky coach of the year, the best qb coach in the biggest cfl qb pipeline and the best team in that pipeline. 
 I’d say this is the biggest fresh to the cfl coaching addition the league has seen in a long time.

Yea...I HATE that a division rival got him, but it is nice to see him in the league.

Agree. It’s interesting what that might say about Calgary. No way is he up here to be just an oc medium to long term. 
 How much control will DD give to him as well. 
he kind of gets a bit of a raw deal with maier too.

Have to agree about the mayor mcheese talent he has to work with....The ol saying goes, you can't make a big mac out of a cheese burger....just ask the clown at rotten ronnie's....Kidding aside, I think Baldwin has his eyes on a bigger prize in Cal. eventually...good addition to the league

If he can get Maier going then it will be a real feather in his cap.

Unemployment.

Was at Arizona State as OC and head coach took away playcalling.  Left at end of season.

Unemployment will definitely get a guy looking for work.

You would think with his resume there would be other opportunities with another college in the US. Hell i believe even a big high school coach in the US makes good coin no? Just seems like a step back ,but maybe there is a promise of HC position like it has been stated here...

The guy was an OC at Cal and Arizona State. He head-coached some mid-major programs. Not exactly a big-time resume. Good get for Calgary but not exactly stealing him.

Yeah lacks the elite coaching lineage, and is at a low point in his career. Still tremendous get for the stamps and league. 
 Hawaii would’ve been better off with him, by a lot.
