The last few days have seen several head coaching moves in the Canadian Football League, with some going as predicted, while others are turning heads. Time to break it down!
1) Scott Milanovich.
The former Grey Cup winning head coach of the Toronto Argonauts, and current OC with the Jacksonville Jaguars has signed with the Edmonton Eskimos to be their new head coach. Milanovich has a wealth of CFL knowledge, as has won the Grey Cup as well. There wasn't much more he could accomplish in Jacksonville, so coming back to Canada was a good career move.
2) Mike O'Shea.
The Blue Bombers head coach has re-signed with the team after winning the Grey Cup this month. As we have mentioned in a previous post, there was no chance of him leaving the 'Peg.
3) Paul LaPolice.
The Blue Bombers' former OC has quickly signed on to become the next head coach of the Ottawa RedBlacks. I didn't see this coming, as it was assumed that LaPolice would re-sign with the Bombers and stay put for a while before becoming a head coach again.
4) Jason Maas.
The former head coach of the Edmonton Eskimos has signed on with the Saskatchewan Roughriders to be their new OC. Should be interesting to see what he can do with that offence.
5) Corey Chamblin/Ryan Dinwiddie
In the most shocking of coaching changes thus far, the Toronto Argonauts (who had earlier stated that Chamblin wasn't going anywhere) fired their head coach, immediately replacing him with former Stampeders coach Ryan Dinwiddie. It is thought that Dinwiddie was responsible for developing Bo Levi Mitchell and Nick Arbuckle, and can make an immediate impact with the Argos' QBs.
