Official Coaching Search Thread

I think it means a lot. I fully expect the Argos to announce Chamblin as their new coach within 48 hours.

I expect the same Angelo, my only concern with Chamblin was his commitment to stay with the Argos but I trust Popp would have addressed this issue with Chamblin.
If/when it happens this is a very good hire, hopefully Condell returns and is given free reign to run his own offence!

I have no doubts that a Chamblin hiring would go over well with those veterans still around from 2017. You could tell that the players liked playing for him and the results on the defensive side of the ball spoke for themselves. I hope that he can extend that "infectious" personality to the offensive side of the ball.

I, too, have reservations about commitment, but a head coaching job might be enough (hopefully) to break whatever doubt there may be in Chamblin's mind.

I don't think ZC is signing anywhere to be a starting QB at this point. It might be the best career move for him to be a back up.

I have no problem with Collaros coming back to Toronto but would prefer to see Franklin remain as the starter.

It looks like the Lions are going with Mr. Claybrooks.

Farhan Lalji reported tonight that Claybrooks and others still need to be interviewed by the Lions.

Honestly, I would be quite good with Chamblin as head coach and have no concerns about his commitment to the team. Obviously, he had his reasons for leaving last off-season but that doesn't concern me one bit today.

Perhaps Condell is unlikely to return as a potential OC.

Dinwiddie is a former player in the league and long time Stamps Coach.

I woldnt expect an OC to be interviewed, without an HC in place - Chamblin putting pieces together as we speak.?

That must be the situation. Could see a Calgary system in place if this happens.

why leave Calgary for the same job in Toronto !!

Argos just need the Calgary talent to go along with the system.

Is Dinwiddie not the qb coach in Calgary? I thought Dickenson was OC?

[gilthethrill]

True, but I know they have to dump the previous system where the play develops in front of the defence.

The previous system was like watching paint dry, will be nice to see a fresh approach in 2019!

With Paul LaPolice also pulling out of the Argo search for HC, I wonder if looking at the problems facing the Argos is playing into the decisions to not go for the job.

I saw the Naylor Tweet and rolled my eyes at LaPo.

If LaPo as reported interviewed over the weekend, surely the Argos would have shared with him their existing constraints in retaining coaches.

Curiously only after Chamblin pops us with Popp out and about - court side does LaPo feel the needs to "pull out" of coaching consideration.

This Sir is Sour Grapes - knowing that you candidacy is no longer up for grabs.

At most, whoever has to remain will have 1 more year on the contract. Tops. If your a potential HC, you demand a 3 year contract, knowing you have to inherit coaches in Year 1 of your Program.

Congrats, you can see through the BS of the Internet, which when dealing with CFL coaching staffs, seems to be in full force lately. So many unconfirmed reports of this guy and that guy being interviewed/hired here and there, it's ridiculous. Give me the report when it happens please. Orlondo Steinauer signed it Hamilton (likely do to pressure from the Argos), that's it so far, everything else is hot air.

So will the new coach's salary cap hurt the worst CFL teams (and markets) because teams will be hesitant to clean house? So the same coaches will be brought back? This initiative brought in by Ambrosie hurts the league more than it helps.

I'm not sure the Argos have a choice at this point.
