Montreal Alouettes Thread

[doubleblue]

Ottawa has made some good draft picks since coming back into the League. Miles must have had something to do with that.

The Lions were probably going to release Chris Williams. There was no reason to be in a hurry to trade for him. The last thing the Alouettes need is another american receiver in his 30's.

I agree with Didier here.

Kavis can't be serious. Joe Mack probably the reason behind the interview.

Another name to consider in #Als' HC search: Gary Crowton. He's in Montreal today being interviewed. He was Winnipeg's OC in 2012-13 and has extensive NCAA experience as an OC. Held same job with Chicago Bears and was BYU HC from 2001-04.

Oh Kavis, indeed. Train Wreck... Als Aboard !

[R.J]

So, not only has Mark Washington withdrawn his name, according to TSN’s David Naylor, I heard Tommy Condell was told he won’t be #AlsMTL next head coach. This is messed up

Who's left, Gary Crowton, Tom Clements, and Oscar Giles ?

Was Tommy Clements always on the list? It would be great to get him back in the league. But Montreal is going nowhere until Kavis is replaced.

He can be as overrated a coach as he was a QB...Just my opinion.

Clements has also been away from the league for 30 years. A lot has changed in the CFL over that time.

And 30 years ago, he threw 30 int's and somehow won the leagues MOP that season. Poetic justice that he was able to be so outstanding that his team scored 3 points in their playoff game that year.

And the Wetenhall's.

I'm told Lions receiver coach, Marcel Bellefeuille is still a serious candidate for the #Alouettes head coaching position. #CFL

Nothing to see here.

[doubleblue]

I would be very surprised if Tom Clements came to the CFL as a Coach, let alone to Montreal under Kavis Reed. But if he ever did I can't see him not wanting full control of the Team.

I expect Montreal will wind up with a tier 2 type Coach who Kavis won't feel intimidated by and he can control things from above.

I'm starting to think Milanovich may be Kavis's man, assuming he would want to return to the CFL and into that particular situation. It seems pretty clear that he has worked miracles with Blake Bortles this season, so his coaching stock is likely on the rise around the NFL.

Well Scott has his QB in place there in Montreal. Drew Willy.

Cruel, but just.

I really doubt Scotty is about to come back to the CFL with the success he has had in Jacksonville this year; BUT - love to see that - Mavis hires him as HC for the Als and he installs Drew Willy as his starting QB.

Kavis as GM, Milanovich as HC and Drew Willy as the starting QB - I think the Alouettes fold within 2 years.

They could do worse than Milanovich TBH however I can’t see him being interested in going back to Montreal with Reed in charge.

Alouettes assistant general manager resigns
3Down Staff 3downnation.com December 18, 2017

Montreal has had head coaches turn away and now one of their own has too.

Assistant general manager Catherine Raiche has left the club according to Didier Ormejuste of RDS.

Raiche joined the Alouettes in December 2015 when Jim Popp was general manager. She was elevated to the role of assistant general manager last January.

She has a law degree from the University of Sherbrooke and was admitted into the Quebec Bar Association in 2012. She practiced corporate and tax law for three years at the law firm Gascon & Associates before coming to the Alouettes.

Montreal lost 11 straight games to finish the 2017 season finished at 3-15, the worst record in the league. The Alouettes scored a league-low 314 points and were the only team that averaged less than 20 points per game (17.4). Since 2013, the Alouettes have a 33-55 record and have missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, tying a franchise-worst streak.
