Oh wait, Kavis Reed probably has him penciled in for a return to the Alouettes. I could picture Reed pulling a Roger Neilson thing and have Hawkins wear a bag over his head on the sidelines.

If we're trying to get in the head of Ed Hervey the suggestion of looking at his choices of Chris Jones and Jason Maas in Edmonton is an interesting way to assess how he thinks and what he might be looking for as HC:
Things that happened after Hervey Jones and Maas weren't his HCs that should be ignored - as they weren't evident as such under Hervey:

I agree that Dunigan should not be considered as a HC candidate any more than say Jim Barker.
IMO the Eskimos made the right decision. I think Maas can coach. If he was less effective with his anger in check, he has to sort that out. But I gather the players liked playing for him regardless.
Austin has ability and intensity and anger management issues....but if Ed wants him and can keep Austin from blowing a gasket, thenWestCoastJoe wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:32 pmAt one time I thought this next one was a very special, talented coach. He might still be, but he has had some issues.
I can hear the screaming now. No. No. Ha ha
If Hervey likes him, if the coach is interested, if the coach thinks he can adapt, et cetera.
Kent Austin.
Short shelf life. Perfectionist.
Yup.
But if Hervey did the due diligence, and chose him, I could live with it. He has serious credentials, along with the flaws.
Let the wailing begin. Ha ha

He might want more control than just HC and like Trestman who I also liked as a HC, their last assignment in their last year were both eyebrow raisers.Kent Austin
Jason Maas stays but not his own OC. Farhan L does say it is a higher up decision to force him to hire an OC. Two coaches fired are coaching cap they are saying now. Remember the nut job GM in WPG tried to get LaPo his HC to drop OC but he got fired instead.Jason Maas
TSN has a nice long interview with Travis Lulay. This guy is both a fine player and someone who understands what it takes to win. Lulay is alsoTravis Lulay
I agree with Toppy above.Toppy Vann wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 9:39 amLulay could be a future HC - and while I like the model that developed Dave Dickenson to be - first - Hufnagel's OC, then HC - that model only works if you have the right leadership above you.
But if were picking a HC with no experience, Lulay has the right thinking in my view.
