Steve McAdoo: Offensive Coordinator
Craig Dickenson: Special Teams Coordinator
Jarious Jackson: Quarterbacks/Passing Game Coordinator/Player Development
Jason Shivers: Defensive Backs
Ed Philion: Defensive Line
Kez McCorvey: Receivers
Craig Davoren: Offensive Assistant

Must still be in the hunt for Bob Wylie, as disappointing as that is.

Big jump for McAdoo...

Chris Jones will have dual role of HC and DC.

Shivers and Philion have one year each as assistants.  Jones was a good DC, but still, that is a weak defensive side of the coaching staff.  It's not like Jones will be able to devote 100% of his attention to the defense anyways if he wants to turn the Esks into a winning team.

 

Also, looks Jackson has put on some lbs...

Going to be interesting to see who Milanovich brings in to fill out the coaching staff in T.O

Chris Jones will have dual role of HC and DC.

Big jump for McAdoo...

 

OL coach to OC?

 

Seems like a fairly average jump... just one step up the ladder.

OC without full control to boot, Jackson is the passing game coordinator.

I wonder how Milanovich feels about his BFF stealing 4 of his coaches? They were buddies, remember? Wonder what Bluto thinks?

I just don't see Jackson as a coach....

Phillion and Shivers were welcome to explore their options.

 

Losing McAdoo sucks, but the guy has worked wonders on our O-Line for 3 seasons and deserves the promotion.

You'd think all with all his supposed contacts in the football world Chris Jones could find 4 qualified coaches he could work with, without raiding his previous boss's coaching staff. It's like those guys couldn't wait to get out of Toronto. I always thought the Argos coaching staff was tight with Milanovich. I know JJ in BC didn't leave on good terms as he wasn't allowed to apply  for the OC job in BC so he wanted out.

Every single one of them got promotions. I don't think there's any conspiracy or turmoil that led to their departure, I think it's just a simple matter of career planning.

Business is business in the coaching profession. Coaches are nomads and basically guns for hire......simply the nature of the profession.

Chris Jones will have dual role of HC and DC.

 

That will be an adventure on gameday, and they only have 2 other defensive coaches.  Defense is coached when offence is on the field, when the head coach needs to be locked in to make decisions on short-yardage and special teams.  Hard to see how that's going to work without some part of the game being neglected.

I believe you handle it by staring blankly at a fixed object for the entire game, punctuated with looks of disgust once a quarter, if last year's Bomber experience is any sort of example.

All people are not created equal, nor are all teams. Like it or not Jones has the luxury of a bonafide starting QB. Burke had a McHappy meal ,dog's breakfast at QB.

Amazing  how some coaches become head coaches & they hire their staff in a week. Others like O'Shea, over 2 mths & still not complete. Tells me that Campbell contacted guys before he was hired, went into the meetings with the RedBlacks & told them he already had a staff selected & ready to go. 

Some coaches are simply better connected than others. Likely an important consideration when hiring an HC. An HC steers the bus, the DC and OC are the motor and the staff is the wheels. No motor or wheels and dat bus ain't going nowhere.

Ottawa's staff is truly impressive 

 

Not hard to put together a staff when nobody on it is in demand.  I happy O'Shea at least attempted to land some guys and then had to settle.

yeah Iso give O'Shea a break man. I like that he's working on several different options, rather than just looking at a list and saying "he'll do" and moving on. He's also a rookie HC so he's going to have a bit of a learning curve. I hope the O'Shea reign lasts a long time, but he will make some mistakes. Even Huff still makes mistakes....cough cough Ameet Pall...cough...

That's not true, Burke wanted Glenn but Mack wouldn't pull the trigger

And the aftermath after Mack was gone at the QB spot......
