Highs and Lows of a 39-Year Canadian Football Coaching Career

  • Summary

  • Longtime Canadian football coach Dennis McPhee joins the guys to discuss his long career at both the CFL and the university levels.

    During his 16 years in the pro ranks, the Hamilton native helped coach his hometown CFL Tiger-Cats to the 1999 Grey Cup title. McPhee describes the preparation for that game under legendary Hall of Famer Ron Lancaster.

    McPhee has also spent 23 years coaching Canadian university football, including Head Coaching stints at St. Francis Xavier and Waterloo. His five years with the Warriors included guiding the team through a 2010 steroid scandal, which he addresses with honesty and emotion.

    Before his coaching days began, McPhee recalls his days as a two-sport athlete at St. Mary's University in Halifax, where he competed at the varsity level in football and hockey. It's not surprising that his children are now U Sports athletes as well.

    It's a candid, sentimental conversation as this longtime coach reflects on his memorable football career.
