HERE'S THE FIRST KENT AUSTIN TO EDMONTON RUMOUR

http://watch.tsn.ca/cfl-news-and-highlights/#clip373818

CFL Insider Dave Naylor has dropped the names of Kavis Reed, Dave Dickenson, George Cortez, and Kent Austin as the leading candidates to assume the job vacated by tomorrow's firing of Richie Hall.

The Riders need to be on the phone to make sure Austin is staying put.  If he is remotely interested in the CFL, he belongs in Saskatchewan.  It would be disaster to have him in Edmonton.  The only thing Saskatchewan doesn't have that Edmonton does is Eric Tillman.  Tillman isn't in Cornell, so I assume that's not the be-all end-all with Austin.

As far as Hall goes, it would be great to have him back in Saskatchewan.  No question, he's an elite defensive co-ordinator in the CFL.  I don't think the door is closed on him as a head coach either.  I like the job he did in Edmonton with limited talent and a complete dumpster fire above him in the front office.
