This is something of a shock given the low level of talent he had to work with and all the injuries to his players. Seems kind of harsh to judge him on this season's record alone. Desjardin scapegoating to save his own job perhaps?

Not sure how much goodwill that carries. Last Lions coach to game plan against Hughie was Vic Rapp over 37 years ago. Hughie would come back to be GM before being promoted to President 22 years ago. Regardless Rick is on EI until a vacancy opens up which may or may not happen in Edmonton. There's likely very few if any holdovers on the Eskimo BOD from Hughie's time there other than venerable Equipment Manager Dwayne Mandrusiak. Their President/CEO is totally new to the organization having come from Arizona Rattlers of the Arena League.JohnnyMusso wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 5:06 pmI think Campbell goes to Edmonton for his father coached there and he coached Harris and others before. That would be my bet.
