To be fair, he was kind of stuck w/Hamilton b/c they owned his rights and Masoli is the incumbent QB.
There is simply too much to learn w/the Canadian game to have expected him to come in and immediately start.
As much as I bag on June Jones, most of his issues at SMU were b/c he straight up didn't care to recruit which eventually bit him in the arse. He won't have to deal w/that in the CFL. Also, Hamilton was 0-8 under 5th year HC Kent Austin last year before he resigned. When June took over they finished 6-4. There is something to be said for that IMO.
As for the sponsor, it's not terrible as far as corporate sponsors for stadiums go. Tim Hortons is a restaurant chain that was started in Hamilton by a former NHL player of the same name. It was recently bought by Burger King in 2014 for $11.4 billion. It's a more acceptable name than something like like Quicken Loans Arena (Cleveland Cavs) or KFC Yum! Center (Louisville basketball).

I have a feeling they won't do it out of spite.

That must have sucked. Providing a receipt for every damn thing you buy to someone who is benefiting from you would have pissed me off too.
If I were Johnny, I would have criticized the NCAA every chance I got. While wearing the Texas A&M uniform.

I was going to say congrats on the team but then I saw Mike Riley will be HC. Yikes.

Yeah we can't have nuthin' nice

I just saw Dennis Erickson, Rick Neuheisel and Steve Spurrier are also coaching in this league. Posted on 6/21/18 at 5:33 pm to PowerTool
Moose Johnston is our GM at least.

For Mike Riley, Corvallis must be like that ugly girl you frick in between relationships. How many times has he left Corvallis only to return with his tail between his legs? Once for college at Alabama. Once for the NFL. Once for Nebraska. And now once for the AAF.

What is AAF?

Pretty good blast notice in the Oregonian: LINK

Riley treated Oregon State as if it was a temp job three times now.

Regardless, I'm sort of weary with the "Mike Riley is such a nice guy," narrative. I wonder how many nice guys leave a place like OSU in the rearview mirror three times.

A bit unfair though, every time he left it was an obvious upgrade
Time 1- NFL HC job
Time 2- Nebraska HC job
Time 3- Assistant to HC job no recruiting

Shows you how much I know about it
That said, hope it gains a foothold. Will definitely take the fam to the Alamodome for a game or two.
