It appears the Saskatchewan Roughriders have found their man at Head Coach. Greg Marshall is believed to be named the Head Coach for the Riders as soon as next week.
A lot of people criticized Ken Miller's decisions as a Head Coach. And while Miller wasn't perfect, 2 straight trips to the Grey Cup he should be remembered as a successful coach. (If you think Miller was bad, I got 2 words for you Ray Jauch)
I really like the choice of Marshall.
The first reason I like Marshall, is because he's a player coach. Wherever Marshall has gone as a Defensive Coordinator in the CFL, he's had success. Saskatchewan in the 90's, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Hamilton all excelled with the tutelage of the former Ottawa Roughrider Defensive End.
Another reason I like Marshall as the new Head Coach is because he's a defensive genius. With Doug Berry as the offensive coordinator last year, it was big year for many Rider players on offence including Darian Durant. But the defence struggled a lot last year. The Riders need to be better defensively next year, and even though the Riders haven't added a player yet, the defence just got better.
If the Riders add Richie Hall as defensive coordinator, I think that the Riders came away with the possible answer to the Head Coaching position.
