Naylor notes that the belief is the Ticats\u2019 interest in O\u2019Shea was for a role beyond head coach. The Ticats\u2019 general manager role has been vacant since the death of Ted Goveia in September.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m led to believe the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ticats?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@Ticats<\/a> interest in Mike O\u2019Shea is to see if there is a role for him within their organization beyond head coach.
