The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today they
have agreed to terms with George Cortez to become the team’s Offensive
Coordinator.
Cortez joins the Riders after spending last season
with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as Head Coach and Director of Football Operations.
The native of Port Arthur, Texas brings over three decades of coaching
experience to the green and white, including 19 seasons in the Canadian
Football League with four Grey Cup championships. This will be Cortez’s second
stint in Saskatchewan after spending the 2006 season as Offensive Line Coach.
Beyond that, the veteran coach had spent two
seasons with the Buffalo Bills as Quarterbacks Coach and four seasons in the
NCAA as an offensive coach at the University of California-Berkley.
Last season’s Offensive Coordinator, Bob Dyce, remains with the team.

What role does Dyce play now? He must be pissed!
OUTSTANDING!! Darian should really flourish in a Cortez offence.

Devision amongst Rider coaching ranks, OC Mr Bob Dyce shuffled off to the sideline. Conflict, If there Is one, will have to be addressed asap by gm/head coach with clear direction and management of team. What role does Mr Dyce play, If any ?
This is an outstanding move!

Anon 2 must have division in his brain what a dufus!
Anon # 5 the dufus as he can't decipher 2 from 3 post. Dahhhhhh !
This may only be a one year thing but I'm OK with that.
Great move, but my only concern is how many different schemes can Darian work under. Lapolice, Berry, Dyce and now Cortez. Its got to be a little confusing does it not?
