Looks like Ryan Dinwiddie has called his last game as OC if I'm Tom Higgins.  Barresi should get another shot at being an OC, Lapolice shafted him for stuff that wasn't his fault in an attempt to bury the real problems on O.  If you're gonna pick someone who knows what he's doing as an OC, Barresi is a name out there.  Think Montreal should do something about it.

They should have hired a real OC when Worman was fired.

 

Just delaying the inevitable and paying the price for waiting.

Doug Berry's a better OC, but Montreal fired him early this year, so he's not likely going back now.

Barresi is the head coach at the University of Ottawa. Likely not too eager to leave that position to hop on the sinking ship in Montreal.

Mike Kelly.

not a terrible game  called by dinwiddie, i think the als problems are a lot deeper than just the OC. who is their qb right now? alex brink is in the game, doesn't that tell you what the real problem there is?

Yeah I would take him too, but seems Wetenhall doesn't want him in town.  The QB situation for them is bad, but I been saying it a while now that Dinwiddie has no business etching up and calling plays.  Since they don't want Berry and there's not a whole lot of other household names out there, why not give Jamie a call?  I mean maybe he couldn't do a lot, but he certainly has more experience as a qualified OC than Dinwiddie does.

Gary Crowton?

When the QB'S can't throw the ball or complete a pass, man... doesn't matter what the OC is calling. 

 

Now Bourke is probably done for the season, his reaction on the field certainly made it seem like a brutal injury. I'm gonna say it, it looks good on Montreal, i hate them and always have and always will. Love to see the als struggle, they always came across as being an egostical dbag organization back to the days when the don was the coach, looks good on them. 

 

Montreal wasn't very good last season either though, you lose AC and you struggle bad there, turns out AC was the reason the als were good for so long.

Kevin Strasser is looking for work.

Another guy is Stef Kruk.

 

 

Wait. Care to tell me why are we worrying who's the next OC for Als?

First mass firings... then Popp's starts trading - Brohm for Edem...ha? wonder if we have anything to offer

I feel sorry for dinwiddie. He gets a dream opportunity that he's just not ready for and the team isn't good enough. Hope this doesn't ruin his career.

Certainly doesn't look any worse than the current Al Offensive playbook.

Lapo for OC or even HC?

Alex Brink ... Oline killer ...

I wonder if Lapo would go back to coaching.

 

Has a pretty sweet gig with TSN, especially with a younger family.   Wonder what the money is like.

I will agree Brink should not be in there, he's never been any better than 3rd string level, but Dinwiddie has certainly been running a faulty unanchored system and is unqualified to call plays.  It most certainly does have an effect on the offense.  But anyway, just glad this is someone else's team and not the bombers.

Als probably could have hired LAPO in the off-season, if he wanted it, they chose to go the Higgins route. Turns out it's been a mistake. 

 

Lapo, Berry, Crandell, Paopao, Jason Maas, 

I wonder if Lapo would go back to coaching.

If offered a HC job, which if one of these East teams like Montreal and Ottawa never get out of the hole, he probably will.  Somehow, I don't know that he'd settle for an OC job with Higgins.  Don't know what their history is together, but guessing he would want all the marbles as a HC.

Don't think they've ever worked together.  It really depends how badly he wants to get into coaching again.  Chances are if he wants to get back to a head coach again he will have to go back to being a coordinator first.  His stint in Winnipeg, regardless of the situation he was put in, was too much of a mixed bag.

 

Also, I'm not sure Montreal is the right situation to "show" what he can do, especially if it is an interim mid season type of deal.

When does the Als on the "Brink" come out Todd black?

There's good ol Alex Brink. Nice to see ya pal.

LOL rod black trying to sell this game as being good now, what a joke. Been terrible all game really.

Rod Black said it after a Brink sack.

Not for OC. He turned down OC jobs during the off-season (including Montreal iirc).
