It's been a relatively quiet CFL offseason in terms of head coaching moves, with only the B.C. Lions electing to make a change there (replacing Mike Benevides with Jeff Tedford), but there's a lot more change that's happening at the coordinator positions. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have elected to switch up both their offensive and defensive coordinators, parting ways with George Cortez and perhaps Richie Hall (who's been offered a reduced role), and several other teams are also looking to make changes at the coordinator positons. The Riders filled their OC vacancy this weekend with the hire of Jacques Chapdelaine, but there are still lots of coordinator positions either definitely or potentially available. Here's a look at five of them.

Saskatchewan Roughriders' defensive coordinator: All that's clear here is that Hall won't be back as DC. One definitely intriguing name would be Benevides, who produced some of the league's best defences in B.C. as both a coordinator and a head coach. The Riders could have the money to make that happen, too; it looks like they are investing in coordinators, as they were able to lure Chapdelaine away from a head-coaching job at SFU. One question is how involved Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin will be in the defensive scheme, though; Chamblin has a defensive background of his own and a very specific mindset in terms of what he wants, the oft-overused "being aggressive". That might not be the perfect fit for Benevides, who could also just sit back this year and collect money from the Lions if he doesn't like the opportunites out there. Chamblin might wind up going with a less-experienced guy or even taking on the DC's role himself.



Winnipeg Blue Bombers' defensive coordinator: The Bombers let Gary Etcheverry go after the season, and they're reportedly in pursuit of a DC who hews more closely to head coach Mike O'Shea's more traditional defensive philosophy. Hall might be the perfect fit there. Benevides would certainly also be considered if he was interested.

Montreal Alouettes' offensive coordinator: This one's going to be interesting to watch. The guy who held the OC title last year, Ryan Dinwiddie, is still on the staff, but head coach Tom Higgins has said the team's looking to hire a new OC and return Dinwiddie to an offensive assistant's role (perhaps quarterbacks coach). It's notable that Dinwiddie only took over in training camp after the surprise firing of Rick Worman, and that his offence struggled until the Alouettes brought in Jeff Garcia and Turk Schoenert as consultants to revamp it. Garcia would seemingly be a strong candidate if he wanted the job, but it sounds like he wants to be closer to his family on the West Coast. Schoenert might well be the guy here, or they could go outside the organization. Anthony Calvillo isn't going to be named OC, but he'll have an assistant's role somewhere on that side of the ball.

Ottawa Redblacks' offensive coordinator: The offence was by far the biggest issue for the expansion Redblacks in 2014, as they posted a league-low 15.4 points per game (and dragged the CFL average down in the process). That's not all on former offensive coordinator Mike Gibson, as he was working with a patchwork quilt of players, but his scheme didn't do much for Ottawa either, and it's not surprising that the team axed him after the season. It's going to be interesting to see who they go after, though. Cortez could be a great option, but we'll see if they can land him. They could also try to talk Paul LaPolice into leaving TSN. Beyond those guys, there aren't a ton of buzzworthy names being mentioned.

B.C. Lions' offensive coordinator: This job is the only one on this list not officially open yet, and it may not become so. Khari Jones still holds the OC role with the Lions for the moment. However, his first year as a coordinator was far from successful, and offensive woes were a big part of why B.C. didn't get past the first round of the playoffs. Moreover, Tedford may be interested in someone he's more familiar with, such as former Calgary coaching comrade Cortez. The Lions may well keep Jones on, but there's definitely going to be some talk about his status in the next few weeks.
