I wondered if maybe the Loubo to colour guy was engineered knowing that Pete was going to call it quits, and Loubo was getting a 1 year "transition" learn from the master season with Pete.
Looks like it might not have been that engineered, although just because there are job postings doesn't mean that Loubo doesn't have the inside track on a job, companies often have to "post" roles even if they know who they want due to fair process. Might be tones of existing Rogers employees who might want a "fair chance" at the job.
Still, I also wonder if Loubo personally knew Pete was on the way out, and took the gig for a year, at the very least to learn from a master of his craft. I'm sure he hopes it works out to more, but if Loubo really wants to be PBP guy, a season of learning from Pete M. isn't a bad thing to have under the belt.
