blue_gold_84 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Martime Football Ltd. launches season ticket drive: https://www.tsn.ca/halifax-cfl-group-launches-season-ticket-drive-1.1205681 Quote HALIFAX — The group aiming to bring a Canadian Football League team to Halifax has announced details of a season ticket drive and a name-the-team contest. It's part of a push to gauge interest for a franchise in Atlantic Canada. The announcement was made today by Maritime Football Partnership and CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. Maritime Football, made up of former Arizona Coyotes co-owners Anthony LeBlanc and Gary Drummond and AMJ Campbell Van Lines president Bruce Bowser, is looking to secure a conditional expansion franchise to begin play in Halifax in 2021. Available for purchase immediately, season ticket deposits are $50 per package with a deposit placing fans on a priority list for season ticket membership and seat selection on a first come, first served basis. Fans who make a deposit will be able to participate in an exclusive name-the-team contest where they will be asked to vote on name options and submit their own name choices. The team name will be announced during an event during Grey Cup weekend later this month. Efforts to land a team in Atlantic Canada's largest city cleared a major hurdle last month after Halifax council directed city staff to do a business case analysis of the proposal.

Mr Dee Posted November 9, 2018 Report Posted November 9, 2018 Carson Walch - who? you might say. He’s one of the names put forward by John Hodge who might be considered for HC jobs next year. Walch left Edmonton after two seasons as the club’s offensive coordinator (2016-2017) to become the assistant receivers coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. If Walch could be lured back north, he could be in demand for his work in developing Mike Reilly and James Franklin. The top 12 CFL head coaching candidates..(For Rider fans - 12 is the number just before 13) DeVone Claybrooks - Claybrooks ended his ten-year playing career in January of 2012 to become the Calgary Stampeders’ defensive line coach. Serving as the club’s defensive coordinator for the past three seasons, Claybrooks is considered by many to be the top head coaching candidate for 2019. Orlondo Steinauer - Steinauer briefly ended his seven-year coaching tenure in the CFL following the 2016 season when he became the defensive coordinator at Fresno State. Serving now as the Ticats’ assistant head coach, this five-time all-star is earmarked by many to become the next head coach in Hamilton — or elsewhere. And the remaining list: Paul LaPolice - Hamstrung by an inept general manager during his head coaching stint in Winnipeg (2011-2013), LaPolice has reestablished himself as one of the league’s top offensive coordinators. For a team looking to boost its offensive production, LaPolice would make a strong head coaching candidate. Scott Milanovich - Milanovich won a Grey Cup during his five-year stint as the head coach of the Toronto Argonauts (2012-2016) and helped develop Zach Collaros and Trevor Harris into starting-caliber quarterbacks. Now the quarterbacks coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Milanovich would be a well-regarded head coaching candidate should he ever return north Corey Chamblin - Chamblin went 29-34 as the head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 2012-2015, a tenure that was highlighted by a Grey Cup championship in 2013. Winning another Grey Cup as Toronto’s defensive coordinator in 2017, Chamblin left the club to become a quality control coach at the University of Arkansas. Mark Washington - Washington has more than paid his dues, working in the CFL for the past 22 years as a player (1997-2007) and coach (2008-2018). Just finishing his fifth year as the Lions’ defensive coordinator, Washington will be a candidate for his club’s head coaching vacancy as well as openings elsewhere. Craig Dickenson - The older brother of Dave Dickenson has spent the past 19 years coaching in the CFL and NFL. Spending the past three years with Chris Jones in Saskatchewan, Dickenson could become the first special teams coordinator since Mike O’Shea to get a shot at wearing the big headset. Marc Trestman - Fired by the Argonauts this past Saturday after a disastrous 2018 season, Trestman remains a well-respected head coach and three-time Grey Cup champion. Trestman will be paid the full value of his 2019 salary — reportedly worth $600,000 — but, at 62, may not have many coaching years left. There’s a good chance he’ll want to coach next season if an opportunity arises. Kent Austin - Things ended poorly in Hamilton, but Austin is still a 55-year-old veteran coach with a history of success in the CFL. Austin wants to get back into coaching and has experience as a personnel guy — there’s a chance we see him get another shot to build a winner. Tommy Condell - Condell helped build a winner in Hamilton as the club’s offensive coordinator before resigning prior to the 2016 season. Spending the last two years in Toronto, Condell could get a look as head coach there or elsewhere in the league. Condell interviewed for the Alouettes’ job twice last off-season. Ryan Dinwiddie - Still just 37, Dinwiddie has served as Calgary’s quarterbacks coach for the past three seasons. It may be early for the former CFL pivot to receive serious head coaching interest, but Dinwiddie has a solid reputation and works very closely with Dave Dickenson. I’d bet on him becoming a CFL head coach within the next half-decade. http://3downnation.com/2018/11/08/top-12-cfl-head-coaching-candidates/

Guest J5V Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 I thought I'd stroll over to TSN to see what the pundits had to say about the CFL and the WSF. Five articles about the Lions/Cats, two by Naylor about the Riders, zero about the Bombers. I guess there's only three teams playing tomorrow.
Atomic Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 Mike Jones is a good player.. he has had some unfortunate drops but overall he might be the most dangerous Canadian receiver in terms of explosiveness. Solid route running, decent deep threat. There are not many Canadian receivers out there like that. Obviously Sinopoli is the gold standard for Canadian receivers but he plays a totally different style of game from Jones.
