THE NEXT HEAD COACH?

Here are some candidates the Redblacks may look at as their next head coach: Noel Thorpe: the Redblacks defensive co-ordinator in 2018-19. In his 17th season as a CFL coach and has interviewed for head coaching jobs.

Bob Dyce: the Redblacks special teams co-ordinator since 2016. Was interim head coach in Saskatchewan in 2015 when Corey Chamblin was fired. Has been in the CFL since 2003.

Tommy Condell: the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offensive co-ordinator. A team in need of a productive offence may look to a guy who has had plenty of success with the Ticats this year. Condell has CFL coaching experience with Saskatchewan, Winnipeg and Toronto and has an Ottawa connection, too: he was the quarterbacks and receivers coach with the Renegades in 2004-05.

Paul LaPolice: the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive co-ordinator/receivers coach. LaPolice has head coaching experience (2010-12 in Winnipeg). Also has spent time with Toronto, Hamilton and Saskatchewan. Spent three years on the CFL on TSN panel before returning to the Bombers in 2016.

Stephen McAdoo: the Saskatchewan Roughriders assistant head coach and offensive co-ordinator for the last four seasons. Also has worked in Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal. And, if he’s hired, maybe he brings with him the Riders QB coach Steve Walsh, an 11-year NFL player who worked as a senior assistant to Marc Trestman in Toronto in 2017.

Mark Kilam: the Calgary Stampeders special teams co-ordinator and assistant head coach. In his 15th season of coaching in the

CFL. Much different personality and demeanour than Campbell: very excitable.

And, if he’s hired, maybe he brings along Calgary’s QB coach Ryan Dinwiddie as his offensive co-ordinator.
