Montreal , December 5, 2013 – Rumours have surfaced linking Danny Maciocia to the head coaching job for the CFLs Ottawa RedBlacks, but Maciocia would like to end the speculation.
Questioned by the media during a press conference where he took stock of the 2013 season a few weeks ago , Maciocia confirmed he would not join the Montreal Alouettes where positions of head coach and offensive coordinator were not yet filled for next season. In the heart of a major recruitment period at UdeM Maciocia insists once more on the continuation of his association with the Carabins .
“I know that my name is involved in all sorts of rumors, among other things because I know very many people in the CFL, but I ‘m going nowhere , either for a head coach or assistant” , said Maciocia .” The reality is that my name will probably continue to circulate, but it changes nothing.”
“At the risk of repeating myself, I love my job at UdeM and I see myself in the role for several years. This is the perfect place for me and my family and I have an excellent relationship with management Carabins that supports me at the highest point.”
“If the players we are recruiting are wondering about this, I want to make that clear: I ‘m the head coach of the Carabins and I will remain ,” says he who will be entering his fourth season at the helm of the Blues in 2014.
“With my coaching staff , we are already working hard to prepare for next season and we are very excited to bring the team to another level. ”
Danny Maciocia spent 14 years of his CFL career with the Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos with whom he won the Grey Cup twice .Β He is the only Quebecer to have been a head coach .
