Noeller Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Mike Sherman official.....only vaguely aware of the name. No word on assistants yet, from what I can see on Twitter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Interesting choice. He's had NFL seasons ranging from great to garbage and mixed results in college. Not that it means much, but his high school coaching record was terrible lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 They could have done a lot worse. I like this move better than bringing in a guy like Danny Barrett or Gary Crowton. But as with all the guys who come up from the States.... you never really know how they're going to adapt. Pretty good chance this is another disastrous year in Montreal but I'm interested to see how this plays out. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Call me crazy but I think this might work if he can surround him self with enough people that are knowledgeable about the Canadian game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The potential is there but so is the risk. rebusrankin and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Will he be smart enough to surround himself with people who know the CFL game? SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Last two years he was coaching a losing high school team... at least, his playbook seems suited to CFL Smells like a Mack connection to me... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mike Sherman brings a little more legitimacy to the table than Dan Hawkins. Hawkins had never coached pro football before in his life.

Booch Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Good hire...I may go as far as to say actually a very smart hire....good football mind there. If he has a couple experienced assistants in the Canadian game to help him along with the nuances of some of the odd things coming from American to Canadian ball he will be fine. He also has a pretty good connection network in the U.S so player recruitment there will be pretty good IMPORT wise, as much as Mack is a bit of a putz in a lot of areas he is well connected down south and can bring in decent American guys, just keep him away from the Canadian aspect of recruitment and drafting SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to add that this is very different because it is a legitimate head coach who has experienced some success in the professional ranks. Dan Hawkins was just a bizarre hire that everyone knew wasn't going to work. An NCAA coach turned broadcaster. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 There's something really fishy about Sherman's career. Clearly wanted/wants to keep coaching and the best gig he could get was high school? Couldn't even get a OC job with a 1-AA or D2 school? Must have pissed off a great number of colleagues.

He's had NFL seasons ranging from great to garbage and mixed results in college. Not that it means much, but his high school coaching record was terrible lol. His last several stops have all been turrible. At one time he was highly thought of. Brett favre in his prime will do that though. Hes a guy whose known to be very, very rigid with old school pro/power offense. I form wide stuff. I dont see how this can end up well. If he agrees to allow an OC who knows the canadian game to run the offense his value is hugely diminished. If he tries to force his old offensive notions on the league its probably a short run for him in the cfl. In general I think football systems come and go and return again. With the entire cfl running variations of west coast, passing ball control / deep attack and having done so for years an opportunity does exist for a drastic shift to take advantage of the league. Imo that system would be a spread option offense. As the time itd take to get the heavies at all the positions, groom them, and get them experience would give all the prep time in the world for teams to adjust before you found success / a new job.

The problem is he works for a moron who is his GM. Kavis looks only after himself & will continue to do so. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I thought Sherman had retired for good in Cape Cod, he had started some sort of Athletics training centre for kids there. I guess it's only an hour to Montreal from Cape Cod so maybe that was the deciding factor for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's been working with squalling, immature individuals, he ought to have the right experience to step into the Alouette organiation. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
