Here's my take on the worry about Jones up and leaving in two years.
Say you give him the HC/GM role and in two years he leaves, as he would already have the dual role he could not be poached within the league and would be heading south. In that case it's unlikely to bring all of his staff so the damage is not as great. Also in that scenario, he would had to have been successful in his role to have the next opportunity, so that means the program has been rebuilt.
Would you not rather have a program rebuilt in two years and just deal with the consequences then?
Jones leaving did not in itself get us where we are now, this was a series of bad decisions by multiple management teams.
We still made it to a west final after Jones left. And look at Sask their program was built by Jones and him bolting did not lead to the end of the world.
Just my two cents

I’m just anxiously waiting for just some kind of news , any news as it’s been so quiet , maybe the league told them to be hush , hush until after Grey Cup , but you would think they would be announcing interviews at least unless they already have a handshake agreement with someone like Jones

Dude, your obsession with Jones reminds me a lot of a guy named Rotor that used to troll this site many years ago gushing over Tillman.
The arbitrary Hervey hate-on fits that M.O. as well.

If he were to end up as the GM/HC/DC here then he would have to wait for an NFL position or NCAA coordinator job or higher before leaving (in terms of considering the offer to be an upgrade over the job here) which means he's probably here longer. Either way if he's here for 3 years with other good personnel people around him as you suggest then I think we'll be in very good shape. IMO Chris Jones is the best candidate for the job and I hope he ends up as the GM/HC here or as HC with Hervey as GM. That being said I'd also be ok with Hervey and an up and comer like Kilam or if Khari gets fired Hervey/Khari. Dickenson as GM/HC would also be good but I doubt he leaves Calgary. I know a lot of people are pissed off at CJ feeling that he's a mercenary and that he used us. I guess I'm not as pissed off and that under the current circumstances I'm ok with using him. For me in the GM/HC spot winning is enough and that if we hire Sean as president he can worry about the community ties and between him and Ed work to keep Jones in line when he does something stupid like not wanting to shake the opposing coach's hand at the end of the game or not allowing his players to participate in the annual midway madness. That way Terry Jones can stick to writing about the game result rather than trying to stir up $%!t like he usually does. My two cents.Last edited by adb; 12-08-2021, 10:59 AM.“RUN THE DANG BALL!" -Leigh Anne Tuohy character from the film The Blind Side

Dickenson is poised to take over for Hufnagel one day, and Hufnagel's doesn't likely have too many days left given that he turned 70 this year. I can't see him going from the stable situation in Calgary to the turbulent one in Edmonton. I suspect Dickenson will be in Calgary for a long time.Stampeder season ticket holder since 1986

I think the league actually has a rule that teams can’t announce anything that’s not directly related to Grey Cup during Grey Cup week.

As a player, Dickenson turned down an offer from the Eskimos which was $50,000 more than the Stamps were offering to stay in Calgary, where he knew he would have success.

Of course Dinwiddie wants Jones out of Toronto. He’s worried CJ gets promoted and he’s out of a job. Plus, why the f*ck are we going to listen to him anyways? Because of all his years of coaching and management experience in the League? Yeah no, shut up Ryan.
