Interesting hire of a high profile NFL/NCAA guy with no CFL background. I guess they're hoping he'll turn out to be another Trestman? He's 63 so he probably still has a lot of football left in him.

Considering what another former NFL guy was able to accomplish in Hamilton last season, this looks like a pretty shrewd move by Montreal and quite a coup for them. Now 3 out of 4 eastern division HCs are former NFL HCs.
The other tid bit is he was with Manziel at Texas A&M, but can they get the rigthts for him from the Ti-Cats, who I am not sure would trade him to a division rival.
