CFL off-season thread

[dash]

Let's kick off with some Eskimos news:

Official now:

“@CFL: DETAILS: Chris Jones named @CFL_Esks head coach - Esks tab Chris Jones as new head coach | CFL.ca | Official Site of the Canadian Football League #CFL”

This guy loses it on the sidelines as a DC, I can't wait to see his meltdowns as a head coach.

Yeah, I think the official announcement will be made next week (I'm hearing promotion/new title of assistant head coach) with a handshake agreement that DD will be head coach in 2-3 years time (Huff likely doing the Wally thing and moving upstairs).

If true, I see this as good news (but I've never have been a fan of JC)

/Jacques Chapdelaine (the other JC is okay in my book)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

his play calling has always been questionable to say the least

oooh Paul Lapolice as replacement sounds good

You wonder if the Leos might promote Jarious Jackson to offensive co-ordinator from QB coach.

It might be, but he definitely knows the personnel and is familiar with the current Lions playbook. I guess LaPo has talked already with the Alouettes.

and he is gonna talk with Ottawa ... although they might want a frenchie ... 2 head coaching jobs available means it doesnt look good to take an OC job ...

OK guys, snap the ball and the qb will fall forward one yard.

that's kind of all I remember from the last few years

Didn't jstew and puck go to SFU? Rumo(u)rs are swirling that could be where Jacques Chapdelaine is headed.

I did. My athletics there consisted of pub-related activities though.

Now official (and as mentioned earlier, look for DD to become head coach in the next 2-3 years):

Stampeders retain Dickenson as OC and assistant head coach

Chapdelaine is alumnus of SFU too ... Farhan and moj were saying SFU wants someone with ncaa experience since they play 4 down football

they really questioned how good he would be at recruiting ... made it sound like his communicative skills are bad ... then said he will probably end up at Concordia

Have learned the #BCLions have asked permission to talk with George Cortez in Regina about vacant O-C job in Vancouver.

Bro Jake and Pratt were just talking to Shea Emry (who is a free agent). With Juwan Simpson also a free agent, maybe the Stamps should bring Emry on board?
