A long career in the league and a very solid DC.

RIP Mr. Stubler

RIP Legend

Got that right. He revolutionized defence in the CFL - several times in his career. I remember him saying the Edmonton defence would be better in week X once the players learned what he was teaching. He underestimated them by one week. And once they got playing his system - wow…

Thanks for your contribution to the Canadian game Rich, and RIP.
