    He watched his team blow a 20-1 half time lead and wind up losing the Grey Cup game 26-23 (1981).
    He spent his final CFL coaching gig with the Shreveport Pirates, who was considered one of the least successful teams from the CFL's American expirement.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a versatile player who excelled on both sides of the ball.
    Despite his status as an undersized player, he excelled in football smarts when it came to reading plays.
    He was the last person to coach the Rough Riders to a Grey Cup championship (1976).
    Despite posting a 5-11 record in the regular season, he guided the Rough Riders to a near upset over the three-time defending champion Eskimos in the Grey Cup (1981).
    He earned Grey Cup rings as a player, assistant coach and head coach for the Rough Riders, cementing his status as an Ottawa sports legend.
