I agree wholeheartedly with both you and Angelo.
IMO a better solution would have been to simply limit the number of coaches allowed on any given CFL coaching staff, this would have eliminated ridiculously bloated coaching staffs, offered an overall cost savings and allowed CFL franchises to still compete in the football marketplace for high quality coaches.
Good luck in hiring an otherwise qualified HC who will be saddled with assistant coaches who should otherwise have been shown the door (Mike Archer).

So, if a coach quits, I assume his salary doesn’t count against the cap? That would be unfair and he would need replaced. If he is fired though, his salary counts? What if he is fired for criminal behaviour? Having a salary cap structure but guaranteed contracts doesn’t sync with the rest of pro football. It seems strange that if someone is fired for not doing their job (whatever the reason), the team, the remaining coaches, and players are all punished by not being able to find a better replacement or being stuck with other remaining personnel. A head coach with someone else’s support staff seems ridiculous too. The coach’s cap system needs reworked or postponed if all these issues were not first considered properly.
Agreed. That's why I feel the league needs to grandfather the new clause in. To announce it mid season for the next season doesn't make sense. If they at least gave the teams a year notice, I don't think you'd be seeing assistant coaches on anything longer than a 1 year contract. IMO, that's the way it should be anyways. I believe multi year deals for assistant coaches is going to be a thing of the past.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
According to Mike Hogan's article, he is under contract for next year. I hope he is not DC still because of the new rules that mean his contract counts against the salary cap even if the Argos decide to release him. It probably means that at best he ends up in a lesser role.
I would assume Greg Quick was on a 1 year deal (as most non coordinators are), so depending on who the new coach is, I would expect Quick not to be retained, and Archer to be made LB's coach. Unfortunately, since he was a DC, it means he would be an expensive position coach.

I suppose a lot depends on how interested the Cowboys really are.
Claybrooks would be my second choice for HC, after Steinauer.
Steinauer or Claybrooks please ..... With the coaches salary cap and having to keep Archer ...we need a head coach that can greatly influence the Defense . I'm thinking that with the salary cap we can't afford 2 DC salaries .
I'm not sold on Condell yet but if we have to keep him another year ......no other choice
I'm thinking this coaches salary cap will bring many one year contracts ....if that's possible . Otherwise if the players don't sync with the system the coordinators bring you are stuck with them for a couple years. ....like us this year for DC
Dave Naylor reports Steinauer was given permission to talk to Toronto and BC but declined.
No real surprise here TBH, Hamilton would get crucified if they let Steinauer get away especially to the Argonauts.

Steinauer was my first choice so it is disappointing to hear that he will be staying in Hamilton. I assume that this means that June Jones is pondering his future in that he'll either stay on for one more season or retire in 2019.

Stampeder DC DeVone Claybrooks is interviewing today for the Argos HC job. Paul LaPolice will be interviewed tomorrow, according to Farhan Lalji.
Tommy Condell and Noel Thorpe have already interviewed, Elizondo tomorrow.
At the very least Popp is being very thorough in his search for the next HC.
