Riders GM Brendan Taman brought everyone up to speed on the head coaching search while talking about the Mike McCullough signing today. He didn't really shed a lot of light on what is going on. Here are the highlights...
--The first phase is done. Its time to sit down now and narrow it down to two or three candidates for a 2nd interview.
--A decision likely won't be made until the new year
--Won't say how many people have been interviewed, but the shortlist will be done by the end of the day
--There are two or three guys that he and Ken Miller really like
--They are not waiting for the NFL season to end when it comes to George Cortez. Tom Higgins has expressed some interest.
--The team has spoken to Bob Wylie as he contacted them.
--Candidate doesn't necessarily have to have coached here
--laughed at tweet suggesting Scott Milanovich had been offered the job saying it was so far-fetched that it was a joke.
Meanwhile, the future of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats is once again up in the air. To see what I am talking about, click here

That Hamilton thing is really bothersome. I don't know why those eastern teams can't get their acts together. The Ottawa Roughriders folded, then the Ottawa Renegades checked out. The Montreal Alouettes skipped town and the Montreal Concord disappeared and how many times have we bailed the Toronto Argos out? Now this; they've got the money to build a stadium and they can't agree on where to build it. Ridiculous!!!
