WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers named their running backs coach and signed a pair of their draft picks on Monday.
The Bombers named Kevin Bourgoin the club’s new running backs coach after Avon Cobourne served in that capacity last season.
Bourgoin was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Colby College last season. But prior to that he spent 15 seasons at the University of Maine in a variety of jobs. Bourgoin was the associate coach of the Maine Black Bears from 2007 to 2016 while also serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was also the receivers coach at Brown University for five seasons.
