gbill2004 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 According to Madani. Apparently he used to be the Argos head coach. I don't know much about him. Any thoughts on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 He plays unorthodox defenses with mixed results. Wouldn't be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Perfect Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 His last stint with the Riders was awful. Players and fellow coaches hated the scheme. Too confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cauchy is a Safety...I think Mike is saying this guy is so bad, he'd be putting players in the wrong spots. Never heard of this guy before.

Noeller Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Are there people on here seriously unaware of Gary and Sam Etcheverry? Legendary CFL figures, the both of them...tho not necessarily for the right reasons all the time. I'd probably prefer going with an "up-and-comer" like a Barron Miles, as DC, rather than a wildcard like Etch... Blue-urns and TBURGESS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzmore Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 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] Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Cauchy Muamba defensive end. I don't get it??? Then you could play defence for Etcheverry. I don't remember much about him, other than he gets fired a lot. But, to his credit, he did coach for the South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams. Who else can say that? And he is the creator of the infamous etch-a-sketch defence which would work fine…until somebody shook the damn board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Blue Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I am surprised we haven't heard more names. Madani (and Penton a bit) are the only people able to give us information about the Bombers right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnzo Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 What I remember from his D in Saskatchewan was that it was super nutty, huge risk, high reward, about a 40/60 mix between the good kind of WTF and the bad kind. He sure kept the TSN crews entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dascow Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 His defences works till Labour Day then teams figure it out and he does not change. This. His defensive scheme is very unorthodox and once it's figured out, which like you said usually happens by Labour day, it gets picked apart. I really hope this doesn't happen.

17to85 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yikes if that's they guy they wind up with I'll STFU about hiring Bellefool to run the offense.

Etchevarry is just a maniac doing all sorts of crazy things that in the long run winds up not working. Look, I've had just about enough of you disrespecting Coach Marcel. The man is smart. He is not a fool. However, he is a failure, so herein please use "Bellefailure." Also Etch-a-sketch is surprisingly accurate. So far our coaching staff isn't exactly inspiring a lot of confidence.

I wouldn't use the word "legendary" to describe someone unless they're awesome at what they do. So far awesomeness seems like a billion light years away for this guy.
