Grey cup 106. Newer and bluer meanies
damn, did he ever look confused every single game on the sidelines
Popp wasn't exactly successful as Alouettes head coach in his last stint IIRC, but I believe it was also when Calvillo's wife was ill and he took some time away.

I called this at the press conference when he was introduced!! I was just 2 games shy of my projected termination date. Spooky!!
The rumor around Montreal is that Wettenhall was behind this move and not Mr. Popp.

can't say I'm surprised - calvillo didn't appear to be a big fan either after that week 1 post-game press conference.
think the als may be entering their twilight years after a long run at the top of the east....
listening to TSN 690 Montreal....its ALL CFL, the press conference is coming up LIVE in about 90 mins....
facinating stuff, lots of talk about the owner being behind the firing

Hawkins was signed to a three year contract. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wetenhall sell the team. It's lookin' like he's a got a few screws loose upstairs.

WOW, He just enrolled in French lessons. haha
Strange Stuff.....Ricky Ray's MOM was Dan Hawkins wife's babysitter when she was young....
Dan Hawkins recruited Ricky Ray when he was at Boise state (he went elsewhere)
AND
Travis Lulay went to school with Dan Hawkins children.....
these interesting comments (start at approx the 15 min mark)
This from his last segment of "The Hawks nest" on sunday evening (he seems bummed after the win, maybe he knew something sooner?)

It was as if the 24-0 collapse did it. Unless the als won convincingly over the esks Hawkins was done. Still a bush move by Wetenhall.

Doug Berry takes over the offence...Mike Miller stays on in a reduced role on offence...

IIRC, the Als were 8-8 at the time that Calvillo left the team in '07. That was the last year prior to this one where Calvillo looked uncomfortable with the offence as Marcel Bellefeuille was the OC in '07. I don't think that Popp's strength is as a head coach but I guess that he (or Wetenhall) didn't feel like there was much choice at this point.
Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Calvillo: That's it, I can't work with Hawkins anymore. He has to go!
five minutes later.....
Popp: coach, you're fired!
(of course, I'm only guessing)
