It’s so surreal how far and fast both Alberta teams fell. They were the class of the league for the better part of 30 years, Edmonton even longer. 
 

Calgary has been bankrupt as many times as Toronto has in my life.

They are the posterchild for why a club like Edmonton should have stayed community owned.  Immediately when Calgary switched over it started.

Dickenson in Calgary has basically thrown every other coach under the bus to keep his coaching job, How they let him maintain 2 roles when its repeated been shown that it doesn't work is the definition of insanity

Have lost a lot of respect for dickenson. (just watch him hire is brother as a coach, (already a consultant))

Calgary Stampeders part ways with coordinators Mark Kilam, Brent Monson - 3DownNation

I bet all 3 of those guys are working in the league next year. Mean while **** won’t finish the year. 

People in Calgary are all over the Killam firing. Thing is, he's been a STC for 20 years. He may have also coached linebackers at one time for a season or two back in the mists of time. That's all Killam's done. Under 3 head coaches in Calgary (Tom Higgins, John Hufnagel & Dave Dickenson). He really doesn't know anything else as he's done nothing else.  Fans wanted him to take over from Dickenson? Why? What's he done that's so special? Why no desire to move up to Defensive Coordinator? Why not move to another team to see how other successful head coaches do it?

Football is ultra competitive. Perhaps Dickenson felt Killam was satisfied where he was & lost his edge as a coach. I wouldn't want a 20 year career STC who always just seems to be in the background as my CFL HC. I don't think Killam ever pushed himself. Took a chance. All he did was play it safe for 20 years. No thanks as a HC>

Yeah, it's probably nepotism keeping Craig on staff but the reality is, he's a very good STC himself. So, we'll see where that goes. Monson? Anyone can be a genius DC with Alex Singleton, Wynton McManus & Jameer Thurman & others on those Stamps teams from 2010-18. All departed btw.

Doesn't really move the needle.  Maybe some stability on football side.  Average but unspectacular U Sports program he's built at one of the biggest schools in biggest recruiting grounds in nation.

I hate this decision. I wish I could say I hope the Elks crash and burn but they are pretty critical to the success of the league and this is just silly. What the hell does he know about running a business of this size?

General Manager? Ok sure. President? What the hell are they thinking?
