True, but just speaks to my belief that one guy doing both HC and GM jobs is a conflict of interest. You put him down and point out all the negatives during the off season to sign him cheap and then expect him to play light out when the season starts.

interesting would be if contracts were laden with team goals – eg – better than .500 record, getting into playoffs, winning division, getting to grey cup, winning grey cup

coaches have control over players and can prevent players from achieving goals and thereby receiving incentives

Yeah but other do not have a JJ AND a Travis Lulay. Eskimos DID have a good one/two QB system. You want to be fair but not put all your eggs in one basket. You NEED two starters in the CFL, at least.

And how did that work out for the other two non-playoff teams?
Collaros?
Durant?

Yah, money well spent.

BTW, Collaros was traded away, and Durant’s contract is being renegotiated as well.

Bottom line. Lulay would have been the starter if he didn’t get injured.

Virtually every other team is paying their starter $400k and up.
