He's actually got a very strong team in BC, and the coaching, the schemes and the playcalling are awful.
If BC struggles, like this through the year, Devone's done at the end of the year.
This is a case of him being promoted way to soon. I also think that he's not being supported by his assistants very well.
He had a stellar cast of coaches in Calgary that really worked the positions. I'm looking at fundemental play by the oline and receivers and its awful.

Now that Jones has screwed off back to the States, the CFL can lift the coaching salary cap. I don't know what purpose it serves at all.
But it's part of the reason why Claybrooks and Nik Lewis go to BC, Dickenson in Sask, and others. Teams have to take a chance on some cheaper guys for the league rules, not just taking a risk in trying to find the next young genius.
Goes same for the coach; take a paycut to stay with the Stamps staff under new coach cap rules, or get a 60% raise to go somewhere else.
