After an uncharacteristic 2023 season, the Calgary Stampeders just might have an uncharacteristic start to the new year.
Even less here than I expected, and expectations were low.
Every team goes through what Calgary is experiencing - they have had a good run with great teams and great results. They have a good coach and a good organization - give them time.
The Stamps had great coaches over the past 3 - 4 years but other teams came and raided them, They also had some pretty great players but free agency had them leave for other teams . Yes that is football, but Calgary has experienced MORE than their share of raided players & coaches than any other CFL team.
Losing coaches wasn’t necessarily the Stamps fault. There are only so many promotions within a team.
But losing some of those great players is because of Huff and now Dickenson being very stingy with the salaries.
Hopefully Dave Dickenson has learned his lesson this season.
