IMO there could be a very strong list of potential candidates:
- Mark Washington (who may end up being the HC in BC)
- Jason Maas (If let go by the Esks)
- Mike Benevides (While I am a fan of his, I don't think he deserves it at this point as I feel he needs to prove himself as a good DC again)
- Devone Claybrooks (May not feel he's ready, but I think worth an interview)
- Craig Dickenson (A good coach IMO, but I'd question his commitment as a potential Head Coach. He a skiing instructor or something like that and his football team's have had to work around it)
- Paul Lapolice (I think he'll get a couple of interview requests this off season)
- Orlondo Steinauer (Would Hamilton allow an interview ? He's the heir apparent there)
- Tommy Condell
- Jonathan Himebauch
- Jaime Elizondo (No thanks!)
- Noel Thorpe (chomping at the bit to get a shot at HC for awhile now)
Popp has already mentioned that the next HC didn't need to have been an offensive coach, so Washington and Thorpe are likely to be counted as candidates.
