[mav1234]

I do NOT think this guy will end up being OC, but he could end up coaching here under some capacity. Gantt retweeted this story:

Sources told FOXSports.com that former CFL assistant coach and head coach Mike Kelly is on Rivera’s list of possible assistant coach hires. It’s believed that Kelly is being considered for a job as an assistant on the offensive side of the ball.

Hmmm... I think I'm gonna apply.

[Dpantherman]

Just an assistant role though, didn't specify offensive coordinator

yeah, as I said at the beginning, I don't think he'll be OC.

I was just thinking the same thing. Hell I drove by Valdosta State a week ago. Maybe I can put that on my resume. I wonder if Ron Rivera will hire me if I tell him that I won 8 straight Super Bowls on Madden. 4 with him as the head coach.

More likely a QC guy.

He was apparently voted the CFL's "Biggest Jerk" by reporters (link)

[mav1234]

oh hey, I was actually in Montreal and ended up watching a game with him coaching on TV (one of the only things in English, lol)... I had no idea it was him, haha. Now I see why he was such a focus, lol

wow. after reading some of the comments people around the league had about him, if hired he would be either muzzled or well-known by all beat reporters fairly soon.

Anyone notice this? LOL

5. Oops! Award: Worst personnel move by any CFL coach/GM this season:

Bombers trading for/committing to Stefan LeFors — 29.8 per cent

[Cavscout]

The man sure has been around a lot of places. Must wear out his welcome rather quickly.

[Mother Grabber]

You can be sure he'd be in favor of opening up the passing game just a wee bit.

2002 Offensive assistant/quality control coach Philadelphia Eagles

2001 Advance scout Philadelphia Eagles

He does have a lot of history but his only jobs in the NFL are listed above. I wonder what position he would be offered?

This guy has a lot of football history, which reminds me of when Rivera said he wanted us to get guys that can teach the players. I don't think he will be a offensive position coach. Sounds like a under the radar guy with lots of experience which is what we need. I am thinking offensive coordinator assistant or maybe Offensive Quality Control?

[Cavscout]

Wonder if he has interviewed already?
