iso_55 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would like to see a former pro football person in there to give a little more credibility to a lot of issues as Commisioner but also has marketing & business connections as well.

Floyd Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Tom Higgins should be available in a couple weeks. FrostyWinnipeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Cohon was a great Commissioner and we need to hope that his replacement will be at least as good. Thank you, Mr. Cohon for making the CFL the most stable and professional in decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Who was the Commish when Ottawa Renegades died suddenly in 2006? Oh yeah, Tom Wright. What a useless turd he was. The perfect Yes Man for Braley. He went on holidays when the Renegades folded & bitched about it when he had to cancel his plans & come home.

Jpan85 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Getting the deal he did with the players this time around with out a work stoppage. The owners should be forever greatful. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 As a Commish, Cohon was a great PR man. The CFL Commissioner has to be able to operate separately from the Board of Governors & he doesn't. He has to have autonomy to make tough decisions but can't because of it. That's the reason his nick-name is semi-Cohon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 The Toronto situation is a problem. So, they need to find a guy who is well connected with the Toronto business community & also who can convince Braley to sell the Argos to MLSE & move them into BMO Field.

The new Commissioner should be someone with strong ties in Southern Ontario and some charisma. IMO Commissioners don't need to have strong sporting backgrounds as long as they are long time fans/supporters and have good political and private sector connections.

Noeller Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Phil Kitchen @CFL_historical 1m Cohon to MLSE - Argos to MLSE - Argos to BMOfield makes sense to me! #CFL Not sure if this has any legs, but it reeks of an all-around good idea...

gbill2004 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Cohon to replace Liewikie makes a lot of sense. Liewikie announced he's leaving MLSE in June 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Chris Schultz as the new Commissioner! Only kidding. My Top two choices would be Jim Little or Keith Pelley, but I highly doubt the league could afford either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that rules out Mean Mr. Harper for the position. He may be looking for a new job in the near future and he appears to be a football fan.
