Submitted after the Eric Tillman press conference in Regina, announcing that Danny Barrett would not be returning to the Riders as their coach...
Barrett to Hamilton as Head Coach?
Not likely.
How about to Toronto as Associate Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator?
Danny is very close friends with Pinball - that has possibilities.
Now a third option... from Barrett himself.
Speaking at the press conference announcing his firing in Regina, Barrett made this comment to the fans:
"...continue to support the red & white - er, I mean the green and black."
Was this simply a slip-of-the-tongue, or a parting jab at the Riders from Barrett who may be in conversation with the Calgary Stampeders about their Assistant Head Coach / Offensive Coordinator job?
Barrett got the best out of Burris, and Calgary would be as good a fit as Toronto... especially if he wants to remain in the West and/or continue living in Regina - as has been speculated.
Coincidence, or not?
Time will tell.
