The B. Tedy Bruschi Youth Jersey .C. Lions are on the verge of hiring their next head coach, who comes with impressive credentials and familiarity with boss Wally Buono. Jeff Tedford, a former Canadian Football League assistant under Buonos Calgary Stampeders in the early-1990s, was in Vancouver this week and toured the Lions facility. The 53-year-old was most recently the offensive coordinator of the National Football Leagues Tampa Bay Buccaneers before resigning earlier this month because of health concerns. Tedford had dinner with Lions defensive coordinator Mark Washington Sunday night and was scheduled to meet with Lions president Dennis Skulsky on Tuesday. Sources said Tedford was in line to be the highest paid head coach in the CFL, commanding a salary of $500,000 or more to return to the league after 20-plus years in the U.S. ranks, should he agree to terms. Tedford, who spent six years playing quarterback for four CFL franchises in the 1980s, could still have coaching options in the U.S. He resurrected the University of California-Berkely program last decade, developing players such as Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, and wide receiver DeSean Jackson of Washington. In fact, since leaving the CFL in 1991, Tedford has worked with six collegiate quarterbacks who went on to becomes first-round draft picks in the NFL: Rodgers, Trent Dilfer, David Carr, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington and Kyle Boller. He is known as brilliant offensive coach who, until recently, was unattainable to CFL suitors based on the salary he could command in the NCAA or NFL ranks. But earlier this season, Tedford took leave of the Buccaneers for a heart procedure and parted ways with the club on Dec. 5. Several sources said that the health scare, years of earning top dollar at California, and the desire for a slower-paced coaching life made him available to Buonos Lions. Buono, B.C.s general manager and vice-president of football operations, employed Tedford and Stampeders general manager/head coach John Hufnagel as offensive assistants early in his Calgary coaching tenure. Tedfords wife Donna is from Alberta. Tedford emerged as the leading candidate to replace deposed head coach Mike Benevides last week, when he agreed to meet with Buono. If negotiations go well, he could be introduced as the next head coach later this week, however, it is still possible that U.S. options remain. Buono said that he was looking for fresh ideas in his next head coach, particularly a coach who could liven up a drab offence. Tedford also has history with former Saskatchewan Roughriders offensive coordinator George Cortez, who was recently dismissed. Cortez served as Tedfords offensive coordinator at Cal.

UEFA will announce the first sanctions this month and more serious cases will be judged in June. A UEFA panel has negotiated settlements with clubs which have breached rules designed to curb owners excessive spending on transfers and wages since 2011. "One of the rules is that normally you should be banned for the excess of the financial amount that is not justified, that is if you are 100 million pounds ($169 million) overboard, you should be punished for 100 million of your wages bill in the Champions League," the Arsenal manager said during a pre-match news conference on Friday. UEFA said in February it targeted 76 clubs which played in the Champions League or Europa League. Speculation centred on big spenders Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, which are owned by the ruling families of Qatar and Abu Dhabi, respectively. Wenger said its in UEFAs interest to send a strong message when the first sanctions are issued in order to convince clubs to take its scheme seriously. "I want to see that respected. Julian Edelman Patriots Jersey. If that is not respected, then the Financial Fair Play will have problems to be respected in the future because everyone will just not consider it at all," Wenger said. UEFA appointed former Belgium Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene to lead the panel investigating club accounts. Serious sanctions will be decided by a panel led by Jose Cunha Rodrigues of Portugal, a judge at the European Court of Justice. Expulsion from the Champions League and second-tier Europa League are the toughest penalty UEFA reserves but its president, Michel Platini, said last week in an interview with a French newspaper that clubs wont be excluded from next seasons Champions League. Wenger believes Platinis announcement could be linked to TV rights sales. "That has gone now out. I have thought about that problem and the media might play a part in that, because when UEFA sells the rights of the Champions League to a French TV station, it is very difficult to explain to them once they have paid the money that the best club in their country will not play in the competition, so that might be one of the reasons behind that," the French coach said.
