Sounds like took the smart decision and got out before the whole thing collapses completely. Though I do wonder which makes more; a CFL head coach or an NFL QB coach.

I couldn't find anything concrete but it sounds like most CFL head coaches make between 50-100k and the highest paid ones are somewhere near 300-400k


My guess was a QB coach probably makes around 50k-100k depending on the demand for how good their services are. Then I looked that up too...


Supposedly in 2005 Sean Payton got paid 1 million as QB coach. It's based on quality of work and how well the QB performs.


So I guess I didn't really even come up with an answer.

Argo Fan here. Scott is an offensive genius and has been working with legends such as Anthony Calvillo (most passing yards all time with 79,816) and Ricky Ray (x3 GC champ and 11th all time in passing) for the last 8 years. He has also developed two very promising QBs in the last few years with the Argos that are currently starting with other teams (the Argos stupidly traded them away, but that's a different discussion altogether). Scott was also a QB in the NFL before coaching so it hopefully won't take too long to adapt to the American game again.


The Argos are currently falling apart, the GM got fired 3 days ago, so I'm not surprised he left us for another job. It's probably a good thing he is limited to just being a QB coach for now. If he does well, I can see him moving up in a few years.

just curious what is your tie to the Argos and the CFL?   I kind of root for Hamilton since our neighbor is from there and in the Grey Cup this year I was pulling for Ottawa over Calgary --- no reason other than the fact that I could see us visiting the Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec region in the future (upon retirement).   When I was real young, Edmonton dominated the CFL with Warren Moon as QB.  That stuff was all new to me as ESPN was just getting started as well.

---

The Warren Moon mention made me wonder how many former CFL players are in the NFL right now.

---

It's also worth mentioning that the CFL field is wider, and the end zones are deeper. This means that the passing windows are much wider. Timing and accuracy are less important than just brute arm strength in that game.

---

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

After looking around some, I'm thinking a good qb coach in the NFL is making anywhere from $500,000 to $1.5 mil.

I think Flutie is the last real CFL QB that came to the NFL and really amounted to anything.  If there are any former CFL QBs in the NFL right now, I'd think they are non-impact players simply carrying the clipboard.

 

The average player in the CFL makes less than $100,000 per year so that's not much of an incentive for people like Tebow to go and develop his skills considering he can make 10x that amount as an analyst and public speaker (and not changing his "brand")

Jeff Garcia cut his teeth in the CFL as well.

There's so many new faces here...

And there's gonna be a lot of new players too....

The difference between cfl and nfl other than wider fields and longer is the wrs get to run behind the line of scrimmage before ball is snapped. So the less gifted wrs get a better jump on the DB.


The cfl has some good talet but most are undersized and the ones who aren't end up in the NFL.


John Chick few years and most notable is Cameron Wake.


Jeff Garcia and Doug Flutie were in the CFL first.


Most players won't go to the cfl from nfl due to pay cut.


Most LB and DB are tweeners in the NFL. Situational players due to size difference.

There are tons of players that go NFL to CFL.

Only because they can't get on an NFL roster though. Its all undrafted free agents and scrubs.

The ones who end up in the CFL are tweeners or smaller athlete's whi can't make it or need some fine tuning

And older players, as well as players who might not have gotten as much playing time in the NFL but start and get lots of time in the CFL. Sometimes players with off field issues go to the CFL as well.

They would all fall under the scrubs bracket.

Also, I think the CFL has a 55% Canadian quota for their Roster. It's like Canada built a wall and the US is paying for it.

Yes they have to start 7 nationals. Some teams will start 8 if they have good Canadian depth. I believe soccer leagues have similar rules for their domestic leagues.
