The Unknown Poster Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Surprised. I really though Paul Lapolice would get the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 A little off the board here IMO. I was thinking Lapo was going to get the job, or Marcel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Out of the short list they had cut it down to, he's far and away the best candidate in my opinion. Blue-urns, comedygeek and DR. CFL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 another opening for DC in Calgary.... O'shea better fill his coordinator position fast... let's see if the Riders and Ticats OC/DC/ST positions remains intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-F-F-C Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I like Rick Campbell and I think is a good choice. I'm sure they're hoping he brings that "Midas Touch" his father had. DR. CFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think LaPo would have been my hire there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Really thought that Lapo had the buzz because of his TSN gig. People seem to see "On TSN" as "Highly Credible" for some reason. Hmmm...gotta think he'll get a co-ordinator spot somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-F-F-C Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Calgary will probably promote Mark Kilam to DC. He's been their STC for a few years but was also their asst DC with the team and LB's coach. He's very well regarded within the organization.

kelownabomberfan Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 So what does Lapo do now? Take an OC gig? His Bomber gravy train is finally over so he has to get a real job somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 So what does Lapo do now? Take an OC gig? His Bomber gravy train is finally over so he has to get a real job somewhere. he can retain his TSN gig actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Bomber gravy train is finally over so he has to get a real job somewhere. he can retain his TSN gig actually. Cant see that paying that much (Cue Nate with 200-300K speculations). I would suspect the TSN thing is way less than 100Gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course but that was just a supplement to his BB salary he was still collecting. Not sure you can live off of a 2 minute segment 4 times a weekend, especially on a Canadian sports network, and with three hungry children to feed now.

Surprise here by fans & media in Calgary. Everyone thought he was going to Edmonton. When they hired Jones everyone thought he'd be coming back. He was a so so DC in Edmonton but a very good one here so hard to judge if he's the right guy or the best candidate available. Again, like Jones in Edmonton, O'Shea here & now supposedly Campbell in Ottawa, all rookie head coaches. No one knows if that's a good or bad thing. Only time will tell.

Mr. Perfect Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Possibly going to Ottawa with his history with Campbell?

Wow.....He would look good in Blue and Gold as an OC Defensive Coordinator.... He was a linebacker in the CFL. That was his history as a coach also.
