Toronto is kind of a SH show right now and all the ingredients to get worse.

Lots of bad juju going on there ready to explode???

Some of these declines were never serious candidates in the first place.

Why would Steinhauer leave a VP of Football Ops for a Head Coach?

Why would Mace do a lateral move?

It’s one of those you don’t know if you don’t ask.

Eiben, Miller ans Constanza have also interviewed internally

At most it shows they’re not sitting on this file.

They wouldn’t offer him anything unless it came as a lateral move and added an additional role.

All seems quiet on the Jones front. He likes to do it all. Did i miss some news there?

They sure are tossing lines into every pool. Wouldn’t surprise me if they landed an assistant from somewhere.

Enter Chris Jones
Insert scary horror movie organ music here. (The classic 1940s of course) Namely when Vincent Price enters the scene.

Just read on 3 Down they talked to Jason Shivers today. I think he has earned an opportunity and could work out well for them.

The only ones who really declined the job was O’Shea because he had an offer in Winnipeg, he wasn’t going anywhere. The other was Steinhauer but he wasn’t realistically leaving for a HC role.

In that article it says the Argos didn’t even reach for Mace. He wasn’t going anywhere for lateral move anywhere.

They’ve been too busy conducting interviews internally to try and poach anyone as of late.

I’d put Caleb Elliott in the mix. He looks like someone who would support Chad.

Even the Argos aren’t arrogant enough to make that offer (unless Steinhauer is on THIN-ice in Hamilton and it is widely known inside the CFL) … I expect he was getting a dual Management-HC offer.

What I found interesting was manadani’s evaluation of the Argos situation:

“They have not had a scouting department, they have not had a player personnel department for three years … Guys keep leaving. [Vince Magri ] left at the beginning of training camp in 2024, not replaced, went to the Buffalo Bills, and it’s now caught up with them. I’ve said it before: the team’s general manager couldn’t name half the players on the roster. They sided with Michael Clemons and John Murphy. Ryan Dinwiddie was like, ‘Cool, I’m out then.’”

Argos are owned by Rogers, which (IMO) has no real interest in spending money on them … so I wonder whether the team gets the budget to rebuild the front office until they get new owners … if Madani is right, can we expect anybody with options (immediate or near term) would be interested?

Rogers became the majority owners of MLSE this year, according to the article the scouting department has been thin for about 3 years so it’s be going on before that. So it doesn’t look like a Rogers thing nor are they planning on selling the team.

I wonder how much Pinball and maybe Murphy makes. I could they their salary eating up the ops cap space.

Not to mention Jarious Jackson, Demetrios Maxie and a few others who are currently unemployed, and nobody has to say if they interviewed.

Didn’t say Rogers was the CAUSE, rather that I doubt they have any plans to spend money to fix it

They didn’t mention any as to why those positions were not replaced.

Considering it happened before Rogers became the majority owners, I doubt it has anything to do with any massive cost savings measure.

How much is the ops cap? Less than 4 million? There’s not much room to cut anything.

Only if I can meet that strength coach though for some ‘personal training’. You know, before I actually sign on the dotted line sort of thing. :slight_smile:
Ok, we aren’t getting into Lieberman territory here, are we? :sweat_smile:

I work for food
