GC winning year for them and pretty well set at QB too.

Ricky Ray
Trevor Harris
Jarious Jackson

They also brought in Zach around the same time.

In 2019, mid season we were struggling and Hamilton was on fire that year. I recall someone posting a thread on here where they wondered what it would take for Condell to come here and become HC if MOS couldn?t get us over the hump. Catfan laughed it off, mentioning how he was super happy in his role as a super successful OC.

Oh how times change

Condell has been brutal for a while in my eyes.

The bottom line is it is difficult to replace any coach midseason because most of the good ones are working.

Lapo isn't. I'd take Lapo over Milanovitch as OC any day of the week.

If Richie Hall ever decides to retire, Orlando would be a very interesting choice to replace him...

I think we're grooming Younger to do it? They've worked together a long while. Kind of like Lapo->Buck transition. If we had to pick a DC from oustide? Hmm... have to think on that one. Benevides has sure been going gangbusters lately.... From zero to hero in 1.5 seasons.

Jim Barker GM'd that team... (Chris Jones asst GM)

The CFL coaches sure are a small club, eh? And entrances/exits don't happen very frequently.

Putting Steinauers replacement in at OC for the next transition.

Both Condell and Steinauer will land up with other teams without much issue. Hard to objectively analyze Steinauer as a HC, because he?s been the best team in a weak division for a number of years.

It?s going to be a tough few years for HC coming up given the nearly league wide void at QB. BLM, Massoli, and Harris are done or nearly so. Zach is not getting younger. What?s that leave, Fajardo and Adams as the top vet QBs in the league, Kelly as the next great one, and Maier as the next best? That?s the weakest league wide QB lineup in as long as I can remember.

Yup, it's kind of depressing. Think back to a decade ago when there were 4-5 superb QBs in the CFL at any given time, and very few real clinkers.

Thus I believe it's obvious that the oldsters will have to pull a Tom Brady and just keep playing. As long as their arms work, no reason they can't stay (that rules out BLM). I could see Zach and Trevor and even Masoli staying for several more years.

Yep, the pays not bad and they would be able to duplicate their income in any other line of work. Never heard of a QB having to seek employment in another field other than Drew Willy.
