I agree with you. A combination of Thorpe and Elizondo would be my preference. I would have been ok with Trestman as a potential HCing candidate as...

That was kind of my point. They aren't going to skid that badly so he's safe. Good point on NFL opportunities, that's the thing I didn't consider...

I knew if anyone was going to know this, you would. But I figured it is much more plausible for a coach to lose his job with a winless record than...

It's actually been rare in recent decades for Edmonton to fill a HC vacancy with someone with previous HC experience. Some were assistants promoted...

Since 1949 yes, but all-time, no. Edmonton had Bob Pearson as their first ever Head Coach in 1909, losing both games vs the Calgary Tigers. His...

Anything other than elizondo / thorpe or Thorpe / elizondo would be a big shock to me.. elizondo ticks every box they want, same offence, knows...

After sleeping on it, I am changing my stance. Hiring Jones would likely mean an overhaul of the entire staff, which is not what I want. So, I'm back...

I've been back and forth on this all day; in regards to both Milanovich quitting and Chris Jones basically applying via Twitter. My initial...

Yup, we've been talking about it in the 2021 season thread.

Trestman has always impressed me as a man of strong character. He clearly has demonstrated coaching ability. His personality is a perfect fit for the...

A new head coach. Seeing as Milanovich resigned today.

I was really on the Elizondo train earlier today, but I do wonder about another first-time head coach. That’s partially what keeps bringing me...

And the only winless coach? :)

I'm willing to bet that Thorpe would be the DC by title only in that scenario. They would also still need an OC, and I don't think they can afford...

So does that make Milanovich the only undefeated coach in EEFC history?

They both joined Montreal's staff in 2002. Jones joined as DL Coach for 2002 then was promoted to DC the following year and held that position until...

Good point about Milanovich. I could be wrong but I thought Thorpe was a branch off the Jones tree so maybe CJ would be comfortable handing the D...

If Jones was hired Thorpe would be as good as gone unless severance costs against FOPs cap made that impossible. Since finishing his first year in...

I don’t know. I think Milanovich could have been qualified to replace him too. He’s certainly well connected. I just don’t see the overlap in Jones...

I'm not sure BS has the guts to hire someone who could potentially replace him. I'd love Jones though, and maybe he and Thorpe can work together....

Hervey and Jones clashed. Everyone blamed Jones being the "bad guy"... I think Hervey should have some of that light shone on him. Also...

Jones has been known as a mercernary, egomaniac or control freak and someone who acts in his own self interest, but there was some clear tampering...

If they hire Thorpe or Jones, they'd still have the problem of needing and OC. With Jones I know he can do the HC job and do it well. With Thorpe,...

There's nothing about Dickenson's history to date that would lend one to think the Stamps would hit the skids like that. If that were to happen it...

I'm quite happy with Thorpe or Jones. But I'll make another point in CJ's favour. Lots of people on here are not fans of BS, having a guy in CJ in...

I'm on the fence when it comes to Chris Jones as you know if he comes it isn't a long term thing but then again what in the CFL is a long term thing?...

I'd see it moreso right now that he's down on his knees looking for the opportunity as his NFL option fell apart quickly, and basically every coach...

Well this sucks. Is this official or just rumour at this point? I’d take CJ back in a heartbeat.

Where are you seeing their on the brink of extinction???

Got a promotion (to GM) and got to secure the financials for his assistants. Can't fault a guy for that. Not to mention we went from 4-14 to 12-6...
