A few Questions ?

[Esks55]

If Jones leaves (looks like it) does anybody think we have any assistant coaches that could do the job? It would make the change over less of a shakeup. They would probably keep most of if not all the assistants then. If we hire from outside the club we would most likely have all new coaches which is like starting over.

Another question off base, what is the name of the song and artist of the song played when the Eskimos come out of the tunnel?

I've been thinking about this scenario as well. I would like to see the job offered to Craig Dickinson. I know he's rumoured to go to Sask or Calgary but I wonder if he would stay here for the head gig? He might be able to keep the staff mostly together and the only obstacle would be finding someone who can call the D unless Lolly or Pillion were up for the task.

Lolly goes where Jones goes for sure

Tbh, you want the new Hc to pick his own staff and so on...

Few guys I'd like to see stay Jackson on offence and shivers on d.. Was lucky enough thanks to Pete to see shivs clinic and dude knows this defence.. Imho he could run it.. But I'd put money on him following Jones

Yup that's a slam dunk, unless he decides to go back south. Dickenson is the greybeard , experience wise, among our asst. coaches. To me the only one qualified to move up to HC. Does he want to coach with his brother though ? Philion has only three yrs. coaching experience. If Jones moves east I can see us having an entirely new staff. All of our present asst. coaches , except Scheper, worked at least one year with Jones before this season. I can't see the EEFC standing in the way of any coach that wants to follow Jones.

Alright so Dicky to HC, Shivers to DC, and Jarious runs the offence. I get that they'll probably all follow Jones but that would be the BEST case scenario in terms of us being able to stay the course that we're on right now. Hervey hinted that if Jones goes that there will be conditions, maybe the conditions are that a bunch of our current assistant coaches get promotions to stay on board.

Bringing in a new HC who brings in his own guys is the equivalent to us starting over from scratch....again... Throw out all the progress we've made over the past 2 years and start installing new systems, new terminology, and new philosophy's.

Quite possible the conditions could be draft picks or neg list players.

You Gotta think Dickerson will join his brother in Calgary...

Steiny imho is a good a shout as any candidate available... Jarious may still stay then, connections to Toronto.. It's also the same system offensively as Toronto I'd jj stays or someone like Brady came in.. Gives you that playbook continuity

All dustbin the wind right now though.. We Gotta sit here while Jones gets wined dined and 69'd by Saskatchewan

Montreal and Winnipeg kinda took the shine off it!
