Mike O'Shea a Consideration for the Redblacks?

[ModAdmin]

So, Fahan Lalji is suggesting the Redblacks will make a formal request to interview Mike O'Shea for their Head
Coach position and a possible VP following the Grey Cup.  And the beat goes on....

Still 2 years left on his current contract with the Bombers.

Well, the only way they could tamper with him in-contract is if they offer him an "promotion".  Hence the somewhat meaningless "VP" title.

This has GOT to be impossible though.  The ONLY way it could work for OTT is if Dinwiddie got another job of equal stature to relieve them of the coach cap hit.

There is NO way at all period that they can pay MOS more than he makes in WPG PLUS Dinwiddie existing salary.  Unlike the player cap where you can go over with penalties, I'm pretty sure the league would hose anyone going over the coach cap.

I don't think MOS would go anyhow.  At his age he wants to start over and potentially take 5+ seasons just to get OK like he did in WPG?  Pffft.  Not to mention OTT (nor anyone else) will wait 5 seasons for results anymore.  Look at how long they (supposedly) gave Dinwiddie!!

Also, say MOS says he wants to go, can't we foreclose that option by offering him some nebulous "VP" title here too??

And what about Dinwiddie?  Given only 1 season to turn a garbage ship around?  Who here thinks that's reasonable?  Every single new but vet HC gets at least 2 seasons to suck.  Even C.Jones got 2 seasons.

Only n00b HC's like Claybrooks get the boot after 1 season.

I smell bad reporting by Farhan.  Or OTT just wants a CYA interview to show their board or owner "see, we did something! we looked into MOS!".

MOS shouldn't even waste his time flying there as the offer may not even be genuine.
