An injury prone headcase isn't insurance, just a nuisance.

All I want to see from PI calls is consistency in the games. That is what frustrates fans and coaches and players. If something is PI on one play it has to be on all plays and if you're letting things

Personally, I don't think it should matter if the ball is catchable or not.  Interfering with the receiver should be called even if it's on the back side of the play IMHO.  See the infraction.  Throw

I'm really hoping that Walters & Co. can find a way to entice Butler to come here. Seems to me whomever comes at him with the best offer will get him, although I'm sure having a winning product will help as well, so that's not really working in our favour. I'm really dreading the idea of having Cauchy back again.................

Seems like he wants to go home to Southwestern Ontario.

I remember him saying earlier in the season that he wanted to take a season or two away from football before getting into coaching.

Maybe AC will be our new Defensive Coordinator!

 

hope O'Shea will be able to convinced him to come here as our QB coach.

 

 

no thanks.

 

 

can you explain why Mike?

First of all, if Calvillo isn't going to coach in Montreal he's not going to coach anywhere this year.

 

Secondly, he's never been famous for his interest in helping other quarterbacks. He's probably one of the most selfish quarterbacks in the history of the CFL and I'm not sure he really has what it takes to be a positional coach. Smart enough to be a coordinator, but I don't think he fits the "teacher" bill O'Shea is looking for.

First reason makes sense.

 

Second reason not sure. I thought I read it somewhere that he helped the 3 youngsters in Montreal re the CFL game.

I think Calvillo is a hell of a QB, but his desire to finish every blowout and neglect the developmental reps for his backups is a huge red flag for me.

Was it Calvillo refusing to take a seat?  Or was it the coaches refusing to play McPherson et all?

 

Also I remember hearing that Calvillo didn't want people talking to him during games, he wanted to sit alone, and that this was an issue for Dan Hawkins.  That kind of aloofness is a bit of a red flag; doesn't sound like a coaching personality.

I think it was a little of both. Trestman had said he was not comfortable taking AC out of games when they had big leads because of how quickly points could be scored in the CFL. You could say he took the "no lead is safe" slogan to heart.

To me, as the years went on, Calvillo seemed to  take on a more greedy persona. Didn't want to come out of the games, sitting by himself on the sidelines, seemed to be obsessed with smashing CFL passing records. Now, maybe I'm wrong & he is truly a great team guy but the perception was that he played for himself. last season, Under sad sack & clueless Dan Hawkins I think his true colours came out. The waving of the arms, pointing of fingers, the yelling on the bench, the pissed off body language on the field & refusing to take responsibility when the Als lost.... Dan Hawkins may not have been a good CFL coach when he was fired but AC did absolutely nothing & I mean nothing...to help him as his starting qb to become a better coach. Calvillo threw his former coach under the bus. That, more than anything made me lose a lot of respect for the guy. Still, I'd take him as a qb coach & see how he does.

Yeah, but wouldn't you be super pissed as well if some new coach came in and messed everything up on the field because you knew he was doing it wrong and wouldn't listen to anyone else?  I would be.

 

I'm not saying he doesn't point fingers, but the Hawkins thing probably made it worse then it was.

Throwing temper tantrums didn't help. He looked bad.

Again, when you're coming off a season where you went 11-7 with Trestman, and now dealing with some idiot new coach and you're losing.  People tend to start having tantrums.  Not saying the guy isn't a "spoiled brat" type personality, but people who like to win start acting like that when they lose.  Not saying it's right.

There's a better way to handle it. If as a 20 year veteran qb you don't like the offense the coach puts in I'd think the way to go about it is talk to the guy throughout the week and try and convince him he should tweak things and not throw tantrums on the field or sidelines during the games.
