    He was the runner up for the Colts (I think) and Panthers GM spot so obviously he's extremely close to getting his shot.

    Reading Cimini's chat yesterday it's clear he's primed to crucify Popp if he gets appointed.

    If I had to guess I would say it's because he's done all of this in the CFL.

    But he's getting the interviews and teams obviously know that before they set them up ...

    i love his attitude, but the credentials just aren't there.

    he had a sweet mullet though.

    This guy earned his stripes outside this country. In a pretender league.

    If the Jets hire him... he will get smacked in the face with a sledge hammer.

    Can't remember the quote, but it was along the lines of a hire from the CFL bring 'a step too far'.

    There are only 7 teams in the CFL. It's harder to not make the playoffs.

    Wally Buono in BC (also the all time coaching wins leader)

    John Hufnagel in Calgary has had decent success as well.

    Jim Popp is your best bet but I think Wally Buono comes second

    Being reported that Popp was never interviewed or seriously considered for an interview.

    This is why I don't any of the press seriously. They reported he interviewed and everyone including the press spend time energy and articles on something that never happened. The hysteria and misinformation is sad.

    I see it a little differently. I see 32 teams before them then the 8cfl teams. Everyone picks the NFL before the CFL.

    wtf. have we actually interviewed him yet?
    Can't get any actual info from the press, just sensationalist nonsense.

    i really like Popp as a candidate. At this point who has been lined up for 2nd interviews?
