I need to redo question 6
so here it is :

That stint was as brief as it was disappointing;
the club fired him before his first season ended.
There some debate over question 7
as there 3 answers and all could be correct .
(1) Tobin Rote Won a NFL title with the Detroit lions in 1957 then went to Argos in 1960 then to AFL San Diego Chargers winning The 1963 AFL Title.

(4) Chicago Bears (NFL) VS Montreal Alouettes (CFL) / St. Louis Cardinals (NFL) vsToronto Argonauts (CFL)
(5) St. Louis Cardinals 36, Toronto Argonauts 7/
Chicago Bears 34, Montreal Alouettes 16
(6) Thomas Dimitroff SR 1978 his son Thomas JR is the GM of The Alanta Falcons.
(7)1994 John Huard was fired by Lonie Glieberman in Shreveport before they played 1 game
(8) Kay Stephenson coach the gold miners in their 1st season in the CFL.
Then I guess you couldn’t really call it a coaching career since he never coached a single game. That would be like saying Kevin Glenn had the shortest career as the starting QB for the Ottawa RedBlacks. He left before playing a single game once Henry Burris was brought in.
He was still a Head Coach
Didn't Huard coach the Argos? I remember him in an orange track suit and everyone wondering why he wasn't in Double Blue.
He did he was fired after the argos started 1 and 6 under him in 2000
George Dickson was fired after 4 games .( O-4 record ).
Ti-Cats ended up losing the Eastern Final by a narrow margin to the eventual Grey Cup Champs. ( Ottawa Rough Riders )
Who replaced George Dickson and almost led the Ti-Cats to the Grey Cup?
Hint - It was 1976.
That’s " B.S ."
That's correct it was B.S.
Hint TC's went 8 - 8 and the coach was named coach of the year.
Who is B.S. ?
Bob Shaw
none other than Bob Shaw who led the team to an eventual 8-8 2nd place finish that season,the Cats defeated the Alouettes in the East semi final at Ivor Wynne but lost the East final in a squeaker to Ottawa 17-15.Shaw for his efforts was awarded the coach of the year award.Unfortunately for Shaw the team went 5-11 the next season,and missed the play-offs which led to the Cats firing him and hiring none other than Tom DiMitroff as head coach to start the “78” season which leads directly to Robofans original question #6 which he eventually amended and corrected. :cowboy:

I fancy myself to have a pretty good memory of Ticat things from the early 60s-mid 70s, but I tip my cap to your superior knowledge. I'd have had to do quite a bit of homework to dig out some of those answers.
Found this short video clip on youtube of the “76” Eastern Final.It shows Terry Evanshen making an amazing catch at the back of the endzone for his 2nd TD of the game and the score Ottawa 16 Hamilton 15 in the 3rd quarter.I remember Evanshen playing his heart out that game and throwing his helmet to the turf in frustration when the Cats lost this heart breaker by 2 points 17-15 after being down 16-1 at the half.The clip is only about 4 and a half minutes,but you can sense how exciting and tense the game was from it.So take a short trip down memory lane and enjoy…ps there is a few clues in the clip to help you with my trivia quiz.
