Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
MONTREAL — Barron Miles and Luc Brodeur-Jourdain will have added responsibilities with the Montreal Alouettes in 2021.
The Alouettes promoted Miles to defensive co-ordinator and Brodeur-Jourdain was named offensive line coach Wednesday. Miles was appointed as the team’s defensive backs coach and pass-game co-ordinator last winter and will remain in charge of the club’s secondary.
Bob Slowik had served as Montreal’s defensive co-ordinator since 2019, but his contract wasn’t renewed.
Brodeur-Jourdain became Montreal’s assistant offensive line coach in 2019 after playing 11 seasons with the team.
Khari Jones remains Montreal’s head coach and quarterback coach. The remainder of his staff includes Mickey Donovan (special teams, linebackers); Andre Bolduc (running backs, assistant head coach); Todd Howard (defensive line); Robert Gordon (receivers); Michael Lionello (offensive assistant) and Byron Archambault (special-teams assistant).
“We are very happy to have been able to put together such a complete coaching staff, even though we have reduced our staff because of the new reality in the CFL,” Jones said in a statement. “We have never stopped working and communicating, as we all look forward to the 2021 season and working with our players.”
