GM Search Suspended
December 18, 2019 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Montreal Alouettes News Release
Montréal - The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that, at the CFL's request, they have suspended the process to hire a new General Manager ("GM"), as of December 12, due to limitations that stem from the sale of the team. The organization will make it public when the search for the franchise's next GM resumes.
As it was the case for the vast majority of the 2019 season, the day-to-day management of the team will continue to have a committee approach lead by President and CEO Patrick Boivin, Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Khari Jones, Special Advisor Wally Buono as well as new Director of Football Operations Ãric Deslauriers.
"It is clear to me that, if it had not been for the fact that new owners are still not in place, we would've already hired our new GM," declared Mr. Boivin. "I have full confidence in Khari, Wally and Ãric; together, we will take the right decisions so that the team maintains its momentum. For that matter, we are on the verge of finalizing deals with our coaching staff and members of Football Operations. The people in place certainly have the expertise and experience required to make the Alouettes even more solid in 2020 than they were in 2019."
The organization will have no further comment on the matter.
