O'Leary Named as New Coach
The Roughriders named former Notre Dame and Georgia Tech head coach George O'Leary as the team's new coach. O'Leary is perhaps best known for his resume scandal during his brief tenure at Notre Dame. Dunn said, "We hired Mr. O'Leary for his success at Georgia Tech. We do not care about paper discrepancies." Also, Harold Smith was hired to take over as offensive coordinator. Smith was formerly a quarterbacks and wide receivers coach in the CFL. Ron Estay was hired as the new defensive coordinator. Estay formerly served as a defensive line coach in the CFL. |
