  8. Gary Etcheverry interviewed for Bombers DC job

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    He's been fired after a short time almost everywhere he has gone. His coaching records both defensively and as head coach are not good.

     

    After graduating from USC in 1978, he began coaching at the University of San Diego where he was the offensive line and defensive line coach. His next job was as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at the University of Redlands. In 1981 he was an offensive and defensive assistant at San Francisco State University. His offensive coordinator at SFSU was Mike Holmgren.

    In 1982, Etcheverry began a seven-year tenure as defensive coordinator at Occidental College. He coached with the Tigers from 1982 to 1987, leaving in 1988 to serve as a special assistant with the Los Angeles Rams. He returned to Occidental for one more season before accepting the head coaching position at Macalester College. He was fired after a 0–10 season in 1993. In his four seasons with the Fighting Scots, he had a 2–37 overall record.

    In 1994 he moved to the German Football League where he was the defensive coordinator of the Hamburg Blue Devils before becoming head coach of the Stuttgart Scorpions in 1996.

    In 1997 he returned to North America, this time as the defensive line coach of the Toronto Argonauts. In 1999 he was promoted to defensive coordinator by head coach Jim Barker. He left the team before the 2000 season after head coach John Huard chewed out the defense during a press conference, despite it being among the best in the league, leading in 12 of 25 statistical categories and coach Huard never seeing the team play a game. After leaving the Argos, he was Danny Barrett's defensive coordinator with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and in 2001 was the defensive coordinator of the BC Lions.

    In 2002 he was hired by team President Pinball Clemons to serve as the Toronto Argonauts head coach. He was fired after a 4–8 start and replaced by Pinball Clemons.

    In 2004 he replaced Kit Lathrop as defensive coordinator of the Ottawa Renegades. After one season in Ottawa, he was hired as special teams coordinator and assistant defensive coordinator for the UBC Thunderbirds. In 2006 he was an assistant with the South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams as well as a guest coach at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp.

    On April 7, 2008, Etcheverry joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders as their defensive assistant coach. On January 26, 2009, he was named defensive coordinator for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

    Etcheverry was hired as the head coach for the Ottawa Gee-Gees on May 23, 2012, following the resignation of Jean-Phillipe Asselin.[1]

    In the closing days of September, after five of eight games of the season, Etcheverry was fired as the Head Coach of the Gee-Gees with an 0-5 record.[2]

    With Sandro being released I would expect to hear that we signed Lirim Hajrullahu in the near future.

     

    And people though Bellefeuille's name was hard to pronounce and write!

     

     

    Oh god I can't even imagine.

     

    Going off memory ... hajrulaluhu?

     

    that'll be a nightmare

     

    I think we will just be saying "hallelujah" as in "hallelujah we finally scored 3 points.."

  16. BIg rumor concerning DC position

    Stubler doesn't need to build a legacy.  Calgary hasn't offered him the job yet, so the choice may be made for him.  Calgary offers a way better chance of success because they are a contender with a good to great management and coaching system around him.  Winnipeg offers a full rebuild with unknowns at all levels.  I know what choice I'd make.

     

    Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!!

  19. Redblacks to name Rick Campbell head coach

    The name isn't bad. Whatever. I've heard worse. They could be the Montgomery Biscuits. Or the Savannah Sand Gnats. So it could be much worse.

     

    But what cannot get any worse is their god damn insistence on yelling their name and having it displayed in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

     

    THAT is the worst idea I've ever seen. Talk about a great way to immediately become the butt of an infinite amount of jokes.

    WHATS WRONG WITH ALLCAPS???  AND CONGRATS TO RICKCAMPBELL.... :)

    Interesting that Campbell had interest in Ottawa yet didn't want anything to do with Winnipeg.

     

    Did he say that?  I don't recall hearing it.

     

    We asked for permission to speak to him, like Dave Dickenson he said he was sticking in Calgary.

     

     

    Right...I do recall asking for permission but I didn't hear that he didn't want to leave Calgary.  Oh well maybe they made a better offer in Ottawa.

    Possibly going to Ottawa with his history with Campbell?
     

    #CFL announces Tom Higgins is leaving his position as Director of Officiating immediately to pursue a coach or management position.

     

    Wow.....He would look good in Blue and Gold as an OC :)

     

    Defensive Coordinator.... He was a linebacker in the CFL.  That was his history as a coach also.

     

    He has been a DL coach, OL Coach, OC, Ast HC, HC etc. etc.  I don't really care what position they give him but he might be worth a look....although I doubt that happens.
