I'm just going to throw it out there and yes, I don't really think this would happen, but you just never know.
Doug Flutie would apparently like to come back to the CFL in some sort of coaching capacity. While I think Flutie would go to Toronto as an O-C if this were to happen, I will just ask this. Could you see Doug Flutie being an O-C or a quarterbacks coach with the Riders.
His style isn't the same as Darian Durant's (or many others for that matter) when it comes to being a QB coach, but what about an offensive co-ordinator?
Comment away.
I could see him start as QB coach but not OC. Would need seasoning first. He was a great QB but that doesn't always translate into being a great coach.If the Riders wanted some show buz for 2012 then by all means hire him to a 1 year contract as OC or QB coach.That could make the off season interesting.
ReplyDeleteFlutie didn't like it in Regina when he was a player. He wouldn't like it here as a coach either. He'll go to Toronto and be the O-C for Burris and the Argos next year if he really wants to come back.
ReplyDeleteI thought Flutie was doing college football for ESPN. Why would he want to give up that what I'm guessing is a good paying gig to come back to the CFL?
ReplyDeleteWake up Mitch.
ReplyDeleteGet him as the QB, even now he'd be better than the clown we have now.
ReplyDeleteWake up Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Flutie, but how about going after Dave Dickenson as O.C and assistant head coach? His brother is here and that might be an attraction for him. Then, after a year, offer him the head coaching job.
ReplyDeleteFlutie would never take $150,000/yr to be an OC. Unless he's a Head Coach, he won't be back in the CFL
ReplyDeleteI love the idea, but Flutie always seemed to be a "big city" kind of guy. I don't think he is a fan of cold weather. It wouldn't hurt to offer him a job as QB coach to start, with a promotion to OC promised based on performance. Doesn't cost anything to talk to him and make him an offer.
ReplyDeleteIt will never happen. Flutie could end up back in the CFL, but it won't be with the good old "S".
ReplyDeleteThe only way Flute is coming to Regina is with his band to a night club.(Darren on the skins)
ReplyDeleteAnd that would only for one night!
I was always inspired by the way Doug Flutie played and handled himself both on and off the field. I think his skills are too well rounded to only have him be a QB coach or offensive quardinator. I have never herd him say he was interested in coaching. It would be cool to see him come back here to Canada, but his name draws people perhaps a bigger venue like Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills or Toronto Argos!
