Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Billy Gunther - Offensive Coordinator - Nova Scotia Vikings
Michael Payton - Offensive Coordinator - Memphis Pharaohs
William Riggs - Defensive Coordinator - Windsor Gamblers
Ronald Matheson - Defensive Coordinator - Toronto North
Keith Cope - Defensive Coordinator - Nova Scotia Vikings
Juan Becker - Defensive Coordinator - Memphis Pharaohs
Eric Randolph - Defensive Coordinator - BCFC Bears
John Baker - Offensive Coordinator - Toronto North
Willie Cherry - Offensive Coordinator - New Orleans Reapers
Frank Machado - Offensive Coordinator - Houston RoughRiders

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Juan Becker leaves the Pharaohs to become the head coach for the New Orleans Reapers.

Darren Francis:
I think the RoughRiders lose Frank Machado and I see him heading to New Orleans Reapers.

Jim Nox:
The Pharaohs cannot hold on to Juan Becker. I would like to see him coach the New Orleans Reapers.

Jeremy Piper:
Keith Cope is certainly on the move. That means Vikings will need a new coordinator. As for where Cope ends up? Well, I think New Orleans Reapers is a good bet.

Contract Updates

The following players have unlocked bonuses in their contracts based on their performance last season:
Daniel Bayer - LB (New Orleans Reapers) unlocked a 10% bonus for Tackles (Target: 100 / Accomplished: 117).
Richard Templeton - DT (New Orleans Reapers) unlocked a 5% bonus for winning the championship.

To Lawrence Turpin - DT, the past is the past.

Lawrence Turpin is a great story, having worked his way out of a troubled youth. To many, Turpin is becoming a posterboy for the league's ability to help talented young men rehabilitate themselves through sports.
