Potential head coaches

[Antwon]

Management might be doing things as we speak but out of the media. But not sure how that would work. If they had serious interest in O'Shea they should have asked for permission to speak to him. Which would get out.
Or else they're waiting for all the other teams to set their coaching staffs, then pick over what's left.

Egad...No!

I received an e-mail from the team this evening (I'm sure we all did) saying that early-bird renewals begin next week, and that more details are coming in an e-mail on Tuesday. Some news to be announced on Monday, perhaps?

At this point, I would assume this to be related price points, etc.

According to 3Downnation, the CFLs Toronto Argonauts franchise will not be retaining OC Jacques Chapdelaine. His successor was not immediately named.

Get ready for Damon Allen.

Get ready for CC as 2020 HC of the Argos.

I've been ready for that since about Nov. 27. With no announcement forthcoming after GC, it seemed/seems inevitable.

Yes you have been....sadly you appear to be correct.

Lots of respect for Allen. BUT this will be a major mistake to hand him the OC role. Simply too many qualified candidates out there with experience.

Until Mike O'Shea actually re-signs with Winnipeg I'm believing he comes back to the Argos as HC and ST's coach. Damon Allen OC and QB coach, Stephen McAdoo returns to the Argos as OL Coach and Asst. OC, Mike Eben LB coach, Jordan Younger DB coach. That leaves DC, DL and WR/RB coaches to fill. More thought needed there. Have to look up what ex-Argo GOB's are available.

Mike Eben, a former receiver in the Leo Cahil era as LB Coach intrigues me 😁 ( darn spell check). I think others on this forum would like Younger as DC.

If you and I are correct, I think that O'Shea would try and bring his QB coach Buck Pierce with him as the OC. I'm also positive he wouldn't be dumb enough to pull a CC and hire 2 DL coaches with a cap on coaching.

Some of those names would be damn fine. Call me a nostalgist but I love me a good GOB coaching staff when it comes to the CFL.

Yeah, the last position needing two coaches is the D.Line. It was explained to me that one took care of the Tackles and the other took care of the Ends. That's like having an English Teacher with one in charge of the consonants, and the other in charge of the vowels.

But did they really coach those two positions? Or was it just their job on paper and CC just wanted both of them on his staff.

Ha Ha. Good one. My apologies to Kevin Eiben. GOB senior moment.

I'm sure that none of us knows how the responsibilities were divided among the position coaches. Having two d-line coaches could either be brilliant or terrible, depending on the qualities of the individuals, the responsibilities and so on. Obviously our d-line was pretty terrible this year but I'm not opposed to two position coaches in principle.

I am opposed to it, because it meant a duo role of HC and DC for CC. Late in year, he was saying that maybe it was too much to be both. Gee, you think?

But you could in theory say that about any of the position coaches. And I did say "in principle," not "in practice this year."
