Kavis was just fired by Edmonton.  I think he'd be a good defensive coordinator for the Bombers.  Thoughts??

It's 100% useless to speculate on a defensive coordinator before we finalize a head coach.

And GM!

No its not.  That what we as fans do.  It's fun to speculate on who might be available and a good fit.  No need to be so negative all the time and try to ruin someones post before it even gets started...If you don't like the post or idea, then don't reply.

Of course it's fun to speculate. My point is, how you determine who is a good fit until you know what they're fitting into.

I'm personally not a big fan of Kavis, he's just a little too over-the-top.  I'd rather look at other options.

yeah I think Reeds reputation took a big hit during his time in Edmonton, I think there are other options. 

I would take him as DC

Wouldn't rule out Kavis... but agree with Mike.  Hiring Chris Jones as HC would likely put Kavis out of the race.  Completely different schemes... and I can't see Jones in his first HC gig letting a DC run a completely different scheme than he has been successful with.

Going to be a full housecleaning I think.  HC, OC, DC...hopefully we keep Dickenson.

Edm may go after Chris Jones or Dave Dickenson as head coach. Who would be the top 5 guys in line for a Headcoach position?

Rick Campbell will also be high on their list with his connections to the organization.

I'd list them as:

 

1. Dave Dickenson

2. Chris Jones

3. Marcel Bellefeuille

4. Tom Higgins

5. Khari Jones

6. Kavis Reed

7. Paul Lapolice

8. Doug Berry

 

I'm sure there are others, but those come to mind.

Rick Campbell is on that list somewhere, and probably close to the top.

 

He knows the Eskimo Way.

Very true, I missed him. Coordinator from BC should be on the list too.

Hopefully better than Kavis did. That was his mantra when he first got there, "the Eskimo way."

I'm about the biggest Khari Jones fan on the planet, but I'm not really sure why he's so high on some people's lists for potential HCs. The experience level just doesn't seem to match up. Also, Lapo is a LOT higher on the list for most teams. He's Top 2 or 3 for everyone but us, I'd think...

I think with a strong OC and DC, Khari Jones could be a good Head Coach, albeit a bold choice.  I think he'd be a good leader and motivator, and thats what the team really needs.  The Coordinators can take care of the X's and O's, for the most part. 

This team needs to stop taking flyers on a head coach. Dickenson is by far the most qualified man and this organization needs to be sending a blank cheque to Calgary the instant their season comes to an end.

 

As far as Reed for DC goes....obviously many people forget how many big plays our defence gave up in 2010 when he had the job. A big no thanks!

I would be more comfortable with Khari as OC but Khari as HC is intriguing and there are people who believe it's happening.

Reed never distinguished himself as a DC, STC & especially a HC. I think the man had friends in high places & got these jobs because of it. If anyone never deserved to be a HC based on his work as a coordinator, it's Reed. So,coming here as DC? No thanks.

I would be more comfortable with Khari as OC but Khari as HC is intriguing and there are people who believe it's happening.

I sure as hell hope not.

Kavis as DC and Khari as either OC or HC seems highly probable. 

If the rumours are true and Khari is Head Coach what DC's are he close to that might be in the running.  Marcel is all but gone (Redblacks) so who comes in as OC?

What rumors?

What rumors?

 

 

Forget about sources for a minute (none of our "sources" are worth a hoot anyway) and just look at it logically and use past history as your guide. 

 

You would have to think with Miller running the show that his friend and business partner Khari Jones would have an inside track. 

 

I would like to see KJ be an OC here with a QB like Collaros. But I have an uneasy feeling he will be getting his first HC gig here.
