Elks: Edmonton Eskimos 2019 v6

[Heavy Dee]

Yikes. As much as Maas needed to go, it's a sorry shame that there's no one qualified to replace him.

Darryl's Nose says don't panic. All is ok according to him.

I get the feeling that the Esks dicked around here and now there is no one left.

 

[Beerfish]

They need to be patient, wait till the nfl season ends.

Just finished reading up on this. Looks like LaPo was their main target, he chose Ottawa.

No one has faith in our front office...

I mean, how the f*** do you choose Ottawa over us? They have no QB FFS! That’s a really bad look for us.

That was the problem.
Sunderland needs to get this right.

Not sure how accurate this is but I heard that Marc Trestman was a target. Unless the XFL folds that isnt likely to happen.

What would you think of him as a hire anyway? To me he seems like a disaster since he lost Calvillo.

Makes you wonder doesn’t it. I’d have thought they’d have had their choice of any of Campbell, La Police or anyone else in the league that they really wanted. Times sure have changed.

Well...I am kind of mixed on this.
His only really bad season was in Toronto last year....the year he didnt have a QB.
Lots of HC's fail with sub par QB's though.
I guess based on his overall record I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Del Preston]

I don't think the Esks will be allowed to talk to Trestman. They asked the XFL for permission to interview Jamie Elizondo (Trestman's OC) and were denied.

Were they denied by the League or the team?

The XFL. The league owns all the teams.

Fair enough....thanks for the correction.
You know more about that garbage League than I do.

Only because I still follow wrestling a little.

 

[Stoneman89]

So Rick Campbell and Paul LaPolice get coaching gigs elsewhere, and the sky is falling in Edmonton? Wow......

No, but there is no apparent upgrade on Maas it seems.

I'll wait until the hiring is made first. If they need time to get the right guy, then so be it. Sunderland has to get this right, or it's his head on the table next.

Yeah, really.

Unfortunately a decade and a half of Maciocia and Rhodes ruining the brand is coming home to roost by the looks of it.

But it's also possible Lapolice wasn't interested in competing with Calgary, Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg for a playoff spot. Easier to go out East where a .500 record is usually good enough for a home playoff game.

 

[Beerfish]

Sounds like Scott Milanhovich is very likely the choice. He was my # 1 choice all along so I am happy about this.

Done Deal.

 

[guymez]

Done Deal.

I am good with this signing.
Milanovich is a good coach. I didnt even know he was an option.

 

[Paralyzer]

FYI, those thinking Harris and Co. won't play for Milanovich, Harris' first 4 years were with Milanovich, so he knows exactly what he has in him. I really feel the players will like him and he won't be a hot head like Maas was.

Milanovich is a massive step up from Maas in every way.

 

[Paralyzer]

Stephen McAdoo coming back as Offensive Coordinator? Interesting.

That’s just Modde guessing at this time. I’d rather look elsewhere personally.

Argos and Leafs fan here, you guys are getting a solid coach. Milanovich took a 9-9 team to a Grey Cup. Yes he had Ray and Owens, but the defence was really young and they weren't expected to win. He beat a heavily favored Als team in the ESF, and then dominated a much superior Stamps team.

You can make the case the Argos defence hasn't looked great since he was let go. Different personnel, but the defence looked the best under Milanovich, even when they won the Grey Cup under Trestman. The defence was good that year, but not as good as they were under Scott.
