VANCOUVER — One of the CFL’s most talented and charismatic figures of the last two decades is returning north. BC Lions co-general manager/head coach Rick Campbell announced on Tuesday morning that Henry Burris is joining the club’s coaching staff as offensive consultant.
Casts more doubt about Jordan Maksymyk and whether he will get the support he needs to run his offense. Smiling Hank will be eyeing a coordinator position imo.
Seems Hank is a victim in the change of Chicago Bears management. I don't see why they didn't retain him. Obviously the bias against the CFL still lives on in the NFL
Hank deserves better than being a quality control guy. He is more than qualified to be QB coach, asst. offensive coordinator. And people wonder why Flores has sued the NFL
Henry was one of the all time best QBs in the CFL. An offensive "consultant" however is far from being named a coach. However it is not lost that this also a legal way of hiding salary cap money. I wish Henry Burris all the best.
Show me a professional athlete that isn't an egomaniac....especially a QB. (see also Aaron Rogers) As for loyalty, that follows where the paycheck comes from, like any football player.
Going to where they will have a couple young QB's obviously to help out there. If it works out BC could be better than a lot of us expect.
