Marcel is whistling past the graveyard if he thinks (unless he gets a contract extension) any potential head coach will sign on when he could be gone in a housecleaning after 2020.

THANKS, COACH

Thank you, Rick, for making football in Ottawa exciting again. You will be greatly missed by players and fans. Wish you felt that you could have stayed.

Best of luck to you and yours. You will always be a huge part of our football hearts.

WHAT ABOUT BURRIS?

So Rick Campbell says he decided to resign because he was tired of seeing Redblacks stars leaving Ottawa with a sour taste in their mouths. Marcel Desjardins says Rick Campbell was involved with and in agreement with his player-personnel decisions. Someone is not being honest with Redblacks fans.

One of these men was a class act last week, while the other was putting on an act to deflect the criticism that should fall directly on his shoulders. And, just like this year has gone, another Redblacks star is leaving Ottawa with a sour taste in his mouth.

Desjardins should be fired for what he has done to the Redblacks in the last year and for refusing to accept full responsibility for his bad decisions.

Maybe the Redblacks should bring in Henry Burris as the new GM, and he can convince Campbell to withdraw his resignation and come back to his team.
