Good for Chief…….take all of that money and escape that clown show of a franchise.

I think it would be good for Craig to enjoy some time off, he's going to get a buttload of money for a year, enjoy the vacation and wait for the right opportunity.

He’ll do the broadcast thing for a while I’d guess.

So this opens the door for Kyrou to Toronto for great prospects and picks. :)

I never thought Toronto, at the time, was an ideal spot for him (or really any coach), but couldn’t blame him for taking the $$$. If I were him I’d take some time off, sit back and wait for an optimal situation.

I actually think he’d be a fantastic color man on national broadcasts, assuming noone trys to restrain what he can say.

He was doing in studio intermission stuff on national broadcasts before Toronto hired him if I recall

Man did that go the wrong way in Toronto.

Not sure if hindsight is needed it was a risky job to take on that franchise I wish he had not taken it then and still now.
