Posted July 5, 201411 yr comment_63844 Who gets the early boot? I left Chamblin, O'Shea, Huff and Campbell out because I think they are all immune this year.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63846 I'd lean toward Benevides if they didn't just extend him .. that and BC has shown they can rebound from poor early season showings .. Personally .. I don't see any of this class of coaches getting turfed ..
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63858 Way too early to say. Benevides is probably safe as Wally would become the puppeteer if things get rough. Glenn has had some serious problems running that offence. I would wait until after the Labour day Classics to consider where things are shaky.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63859 I don't think any head coaches get canned this year. Maybe during the offseason.
July 5, 201411 yr Author comment_63864 The only reason I started this now is in the past few years we have seen guys go really early! Dan Hawkins, Greg Marshall.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63878 Can't see anyone getting fired as a head coach in season. MAYBE Higgins if they really were to fall apart, only because I think Montreal doesn't really know what they want to do. I would wager we will see an OC fired though in season.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63905 Lapo will have a job as an OC (and pending HC a la Tim Burke) by mid-season if he wants it... either in Ham or BC
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63906 Lapo will have a job as an OC (and pending HC a la Tim Burke) by mid-season if he wants it... either in Ham or BC I can't see Austin getting fired anytime soon especially not mid-season. It's one thing to replace a HC like that but the GM and HC... I don't think so.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63908 If anyone is fired, based on early season returns, it'll be Benevides even with a contract extension. Wally still is the best coach in the Lions organization & he as well as everybody else knows it.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63923 Yeah BC really looks like a mess to start this year, I'd have Benevides as the guy on the hot seat. Austin will survive the year but if his qbs don't look better by the end of the year he'll go into the offseason wondering.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63930 I picked Benevides as Montreal's owner just hired Higgins so he isn't going anywhere. But I agree that I don't think anyone will get canned this year. But wouldn't it be something if Milanovich got canned and Burke took over in Toronto. Oh would this board have fun then
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63943 The only way someone gets canned is if Benavides goes 0-8 or something.... Khari won't get canned.... it's not his fault that Glenn plays scared.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63950 and Burke took over in Toronto. Oh would this board have fun then Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63953 Can you imagine the outrage across Canada if Burke threw Ray under the bus?
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63955 and Burke took over in Toronto. Oh would this board have fun then Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time. gregg Marshall will get one again first.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63956 and Burke took over in Toronto. Oh would this board have fun then Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time. Ever.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_63997 and Burke took over in Toronto. Oh would this board have fun then Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time. gregg Marshall will get one again first. To be fair - Greg Marshall got screwed in SSK - screwd hard
July 5, 201411 yr comment_64000 Austin is on the clock IMO. You make a decision like cutting Burris and bringing in Collaros, you're staking your job to Collaros or one of the young QB's being able to lead your team to at least 2nd place in the East. Personally, I liked that move, but their offence in the first two games is forcing Collaros into playing from weakness simply standing in the pocket. The offence they are running does not fit his strengths, so now that move looks kind of odd. Why bring in a pretty specific type of scrambling QB and then develop an offence that's the opposite? If they don't host a playoff game this year, he's toast.
July 5, 201411 yr comment_64001 Benevides would be my guess but i don't think anyone. I could see hamiltons Oline coach, i could even see Khari being canned, regardless of how poor glenn has played, BC's offence looks awful so far, dinwiddie could be but doubt he is fired, just demoted.
July 6, 201411 yr comment_64089 Hamilton has bigger problems than Austin right now. Collaros getting racked up and stadium behind schedule being the two primary ones. Austin should survive so long as he can cobble together a 9-9 record. I agree with prior posters that Benevides is immune unless the Lions go 0-4 and look more morose than they already do. 0-5 for sure. Wally will step in as Braley won't tolerate firing a head coach with 2 or 3 years of money left on his deal. Could see Wally pulling a double-switch. Relieving Benevides and also Khari Jones - bringing in Plop as OC with the promise of being head coach next season. Plop is far more competent than guys like Marshall, Burke, Berry, etc. Only problem is if Lulay's arm has really fallen off, Kevin Glenn got old overnite and the Lions don't have much in the bullpen then it really doesn't matter who's coaching or GM. They gonna lose a lot of games. If Plop is assured Lulay is ready to go, then its an easy decision for him to leave TSN to take the job. Right now, he's the best up 'n coming football broadcaster at TSN so he'd have to strike a cool deal with a CFL team to return to battle.
July 6, 201411 yr comment_64095 I agree with prior posters that Benevides is immune unless the Lions go 0-4 and look more morose than they already do. 0-5 for sure. Wally will step in as Braley won't tolerate firing a head coach with 2 or 3 years of money left on his deal. Or 0-6, or 1-7. Nobody comes back from that. Everybody knows it. Especially Wally.

Just wondering Nate but if Braley won't tolerate firing a HC with mult years left on his contract, then what is in it then for Wally to step into? He signed Benevides so he totally effed up. It's on Wally.
